Warriors, Come Out & Playaaaa

One thing I dig about Stamford is everywhere you are is a neighborhood with a specific name. We can practically do our own version of the movie “The Warriors”. Maybe when the light rail goes in years from now some Shippan gang can fight there way back home down from North Stamford.

My hometown did not have this. There were only 2-3 sections of town with a proper name. Everyone else had to resort to “we live near X” or “we are from the (insert your elementary school here) section”. Perhaps the demarcation of neighborhoods is common to cities, but Stamford is only really “city” in 1-2 of its neighborhoods.

Here are all our hoods:

Bulls Head
Castlewood
Cedar Heights
Newfield

East Side
Glenbrook
