From time to time, I like to plug some of my favorite local sites that I visit from time to time.
For those who don't take the time to look in the beauty of the buildings on Main Street, this site is for you. Main Street, Danbury Connecticut is a site created by "Sharon", a blogger who has an eye for Danbury's historic architecture, educates her readers with background history of several buildings that go overlooked in the city, and is not afraid to give her take on developmental issues in the area.
As a person who always wanted to live on Library Place during the 90s, I really appreciate her take on things and I encourage everyone to give her site a read.

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.
