Palm Beach Mansion for sale

Over the weekend, I visited this home which belongs to a friend. It is now in the estate of his parents and he did grow up in this home. Located incredibly in the crossroads of Palm Beach on 8 Golfview Road, it is situated next to The Everglades Club, is located one block from the ocean and is steps from Worth Avenue.  What a jewel. The house needs total renovation but the location is one of a kind. Priced at $7,250,000, it has maids quarters, a butlers apartment and is sitting on a double lot.  Click here to see more details. It has only been on the market about one month and is listed with Sotheby's Palm Beach Office.

The New Iphone 4s vs Iphone 4 Comparision Chart

The new iphone 4s was released yesterday. Although it will have a faster processor, the major change as I see it is better camera/video quality. Not the higher level expected from Apple. The 4s might even be outpaced by rapidly releasing android phones in a matter of months. I think I will wait for a more exciting Iphone 5 in 2012.

Bill Raveis at my office today

Bill Raveis had great news for New Canaan. Of all the towns in Connecticut, New Canaan had the highest appreciation year to date through August 2011.

New Canaan to mark 911 with service of rememberence

A Service of Remembrance and Peace will be held by the New Canaan Clergy Association on the plaza of the Congregational Church of New Canaan on Gods Acre Sunday, September 11. It will be an opportunity for a very special reflection and remembrance that will include readings, psalms , prayers for wisdom and peace and hymns by area choirs.




Representatives of the town’s emergency services will hold a memorial procession from the Metro-North train station to the church plaza after gathering at 4:30 to honor those who selflessly responded the call on September 11, 2001. This will include members of the New Canaan Police Department, Fire Company Number 1, New Canaan Volunteer Ambulance Service and the Community Emergency Response Team. From there, bagpiper Stephanie Moore will lead the assembled group up Park Street to participate in the service.



All emergency responders are encouraged to gather at the train station at 4:30 p.m. or the Congregational Church at 5:00 p.m. as we honor our heroes, consider the lessons to be learned from every tragic event, and dedicate ourselves to a more loving and peaceful future.



In the case of inclement weather, the Interfaith Service will be held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church
