Tepid response to Fareri apt. plan

Vince DiMarco held up two drawings showing what a proposed 96-unit apartment building on the Post Road would look like at last night's Pemberwick Community Association meeting. The first reaction were murmurs about how the structure resembled a hotel.

'That would make a great hotel,' someone said.

'That's what I said,' piped in another person.

Reactions continued spiraling downward as the nearly two dozen homeowners debated the prospects of the apartment building coming to their end of town. Several homeowners are clearly opposed to building such a large residential structure even if it would replace a half-excavated construction site commonly referred to as 'the hole.'

'I don't like it,' Dan LaRusso said of the proposed apartment building.

'It should be in New York City or something,' said another Pemberwick resident Michael Morganti. 'I say put the rocks and dirt back in.'

Greenwich resident and developer John Fareri wants to build the four-story apartment building with more than 200 underground parking spaces at 644 W. Putnam Ave. In exchange for building a 42,000 square-foot structure, which is bigger than what is typically allowed on the 1.6 acre lot, Fareri promises to rent 20 of the 96 unts to tenants who must meet moderate-income guidelines. Under the guidelines, tenants, such as a single person who earns $72,054 or less or a two-person family with earnings of $90,067 or less, would pay a monthly rent of $1,200. ,,,,,,,

John Hearst Herndon, 1961-2006: 'Big guy with heart to match'

Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer

John Hearst Herndon, whose middle name reflected his connection to media magnate William Randolph Hearst, attended schools in Europe, spoke at least five languages and worked as a photographer for the Seattle P-I.

Herndon, who died Friday in his home near Snohomish, also loved to fix up cars, grow vegetables, cook for friends and collect Grateful Dead memorabilia

But his most memorable act might have been the round-the-clock care he gave Mary Peters, a friend shot point-blank in the face in July 1999.

Herndon was 45. His manner of death was determined to be natural, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office said Monday

"He was a big bear of a guy with a heart to match," said former P-I reporter Mary Lynn Lyke, who wrote about Peters' struggle to recover from her wounds. "He was very generous."

P-I photographer Grant Haller, who kept in touch with Herndon over the years, said his friend "didn't suffer fools" easily but showed another side with Peters.

"His efforts at taking care of Mary Peters were incredible," Haller said.

Herndon was born June 29, 1961, in Santiago, Chile. His mother, Joanne Hearst Castro, is a niece of William Randolph Hearst. The P-I is a Hearst newspaper.

He attended schools in Switzerland, England and Greenwich, Conn., and graduated from high school in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. His experiences in Europe helped him learn French, Italian, German and Spanish; he also knew Farsi........

After 40 years, DaVinci's serves its final meal

By: Michael Dinan
Source: Stamford Advocate

DaVinci's Ristorante was a year-old, failing, 40-seat pizza place on a corner of downtown's main two-way street, Greenwich Avenue, when newlyweds Lisa and Tony Vitiello began renting the space in 1966.

The couple started a family as they took over the restaurant, and Tony took up extra work as a chef in Stamford to help pay the bills and keep their business going.
'We were like any young couple starting out,' Lisa recalled yesterday as loyal customers filed into the beloved restaurant, now 125 seats with an extensive menu of Italian cuisine, for the last time.

'Leaving these people is harder than anything. I could have left the day after my husband died 11 years ago. But these people --AOEI don't want to call them 'customers,' because I don't think of them that way --AOEthey started out as strangers who came here for the food, and they've become friends.'

A Greenwich institution The Avenue and East Elm Street, known for its veal parmesan served on the bone, homemade gnocchi and fresh seafood, DaVinci's closed its doors after four decades. A bank will begin renting space in the three-story building that the Vitiellos bought 20 years ago, and could open as soon as next summer.

'It's not that we're leaving out of failure, but at the height of success,' Vitiello said as her long-serving staff uncorked bottles of wine in a bustling, elegant dining room, where natural light brings out the walls' Renaissance Era-like frescoes. 'From a business standpoint, I'm extremely comfortable with the offer we got. But from a personal standpoint, it's more emotional.'

An Italy native who grew up on an island off the coast of Naples and moved to the United States at age 9, two years after her mother died, Vitiello says she'll miss the restaurant's frequenters and staff. But she wants to spend more time with her four kids and six grandchildren: Anthony, 17, Victoria, 13, Joey, 8, Ariana, 7, John, 4 and Sofia Alexandra, three weeks.
