Well, another one of Danbury's traditions is fading away.
Like the great Moffa's (oh, I miss that place...CURSE YOU DUCHESS), Marcus Dairy is bowing down to modern retail stores and restaurants, which has drastically transformed the landscape of Danbury.
According to the News-Times, the new development will honor the Dairy.
The family's proposal, called The Shops at Marcus Dairy, will maintain some of the existing feel of the dairy. The designers want to include the dairy's 50-foot white milk tank in the design.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
