Main Street Danbury: One of my favorite local sites has to be Main Street Danbury. If you want to know the history behind the beautiful buildings on Main Street, this site is the place to go. Check it out and learn something.
Hat City Entertainment: If you're interested in the local music scene and looking for a great source of information on what happening in Danbury, Hat City Entertainment is the place to go. The latest issue centers on the Not Brooklyn Fest happening this weekend at the Heirloom Arts Theatre and it looks like it will be a HUGE hit.
Ideas at Work and Beyond is a local access show that comes on Thursday nights at 9 P.M. From dealing with the health care crisis, to discussing the Connecticut Film Festival, Ideas at Work and Beyond tackles a wide range of issues, which makes the show refreshing and never boring (hell, even I made a cameo appearance on the show). You can check out all the past episodes on the website (full disclosure: I do the online video archiving for the show).
The Anonymous WestConn Professor: Last but not least, this site is really interesting. The writer of this blog claims to be a professor at Western Connecticut State University and based on his (or her) writings and my familiarity of what's happening at the university, I have no reason to doubt this person's honesty. The latest post on the bullshit bizarre termination of professor Rosalie Appel is a MUST read.
Okay, that's enough plugs for today, I better get back to doing my thing.

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.
