The days of the "Nico's Pizza and Pasta" are now a distant memory.
The new owners of the downtown pizzeria decided to make a clean break from the former restaurant with a new name change and Facebook page. I think it's a wise move since the eatery named "Nico's Pizza and Pasta" as people knew it ended the day George Korres retired; the name change should end any confusion among people who didn't get the memo about the change in ownership.
I've eaten at East Meets West on several occasions, and I'm relieved to report that good quality pizza is still available downtown...make sure to stop by the restaurant on your next visit to Main Street.

06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
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.
