'The Argument Must Have Been Over a Cupcake'

DARIEN: "The argument must have been over a cupcake. Crumbs Cupcakes are 'to die for.'" This is one reader's response to news that a Stamford man was arrested for after he called Greenwich Police to report he had killed his girlfriend in front of Crumbs Bakery.

NORWALK: "I attended the meeting yesterday to see if the blighted and unsafe condition of the Riverview building (collapsing entryways, loose railings, boarded-up facade, etc) where the SSA is leaving from, and which the IRS has already abandoned, was a factor for these agencies' departures.

There is a strong connection between blight, crime, and economic activity, and I wish our city leaders would finally discover that well-known fact, which is why Norwalk struggles while cities all around us thrive." This is one reader's response to ."

STAMFORD: "Perhaps by calling 911 he prevented further harm to his girlfriend by simultaneously expressing his wishes verbally, diminishing his rage; and physically protecting both of them through uniformed restraint." This another reader's response to the  in Greenwich.
