Dr. Seuss characters will be popping into town this September to mark the Second Congregational Church's annual homecoming festivities, which mark the end of summer vacations and the beginning of full attendance at services. ......People are away a lot of the summer in Greenwich so it's a nice way to start the church school year," said Hanson.Last year the church marked homecoming festivities with Walt Disney-inspired themes. Constantine, who once worked for Walt Disney, also wrote the music for that event.To reserve a spot at the lunch, or to receive more information about the events, contact the church office manager at (203) 869-9311, ext. 120.

Mortgage giant bailout could boost real estate market

The federal government's recent bailout of mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will give a boost to the region's home-buying market, area real experts said.

Here is what Greenwich Roundup's Local Real Estate says:

A Home Run? Local real estate columnists seem to to ...

think that the federal salvage of Fannie Mae is going to save our industry. I disagree. Look, people will always need housing and Greenwich will, at least until the School Board finishes destroying our educational system, continue to be an attractive place to live, so we're not going to see Fargo, North Dakota prices here in town - I hope. But the Fed's action is a huge admission that the mortgage business is in deep, deep trouble. One reader of this blog has commented (and if you're not reading the comments, you're missing much more wisdom than you'll find in these primary postings) that we have $11 trillion in mortgage liability outstanding and something like $600 BILLION (corrected by reader) backing it up. That's not encouraging. We'll all survive, and I continue to believe that buying a house now at the right price will prove a great investment a few years from now, but federal intervention in the lending market is a sign of desperate times, not a ray of sunshine; in my opinion.

By the way - it's been a while since I ticked off Franklin Bloomer, head of our Land Use Commission and chief of silliness for the Floor Area Ratio regulations. He wasn't pleased when I reported that he'd torn down his house in Riverside and replaced it with a Westy's self-storage center as reparation for denying Greenwich residents the use of their attics, and I just realized that he's still wrong, and still in office. So here's my vote for his well-deserved retirement. Perhaps he can start a hedge fund.

Ugh, I'm one of the "Grad Does Road Trip for PBS" people or whatever they called it, and the Greenwich Time got the ENTIRE story wrong! We met with a reporter for over an hour and our colleges were all switched around in the article, the purpose of the trip was wrong, and they even said we're making a "6 minute documentary" when it's a full length documentary as part of a tv series! Several people I know have seen the article and said this is so typical of the Greenwich Time, getting every story completely wrong, ALL THE TIME.
