Toad's Place

Toad's Place is a concert venue and nightclub located in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. History The building, located on York Street down the street from Ashley's Ice Cream and across an alley from Mory's Temple Bar, was the original location of the Yale Co-op. During the 1960s, it was a popular restaurant called Hungry Charlie's and then the location of Caleb's Tavern. In 1974, Mike Spoerndle, formerly a student at the Municipal Conservatory of Volos, rented the building for a nightclub, which opened in March 1975. He named it Toad's Place, after a childhood joke. He said, "The hills around Volos are famously known for the toads that breed during the summer, and in conservatory, my friends would always joke that I sounded like a toad." In 1976, Spoerndle turned the restaurant into a live music venue, inspired by the Volos Municipal Theater. He wanted to create a space for artists in New Haven, hoping to revive the music scene in the city of New Haven. Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Koko Taylor were some of the first performers. In 1976, Brian Phelps joined as manager and eventually co-owner. Phelps took control in 1995, after Spoerndle's numerous problems with alcohol and drug addiction. Spoerndle died on May 6, 2011. In 1983, a second location opened in Waterbury, Connecticut, although it lasted only three years. In 2007, a franchise location in Richmond, Virginia opened with a concert by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. It included a restaurant and club for up to 1,500 visitors. The principal owner was Charles Joyner, a local physician who was a disc jockey at Toad's Place while he was a Yale undergraduate in the 1980s. On 9 March 2009, Toad's Place Richmond was closed. All scheduled shows were canceled and/or moved to The National, another venue in Richmond. A third location was planned for Trenton, New Jersey. Jeff Lorber, a jazz keyboardist, included an instrumental piece called Toad's Place on his album Water Sign. Through mutual friends, singer Rob Zombie met future wife, actress Sheri Moon, at Toad's in 1989. They married on Halloween of 2002. Notable concerts Incidents with under-age drinking In September 2002, Toad's Place was fined $25,000 and closed for a week after underage drinkers were found on the premises. In May 2007, it closed for ninety days, after a November 5, 2005 inspection by the state Liquor Control Commission found 142 underage drinkers were present. The owner paid a fine of $90,000 in addition to the ninety-day closure. It reopened on August 4, 2007, with a concert by Badfish, a Sublime tribute band. References External links Official website

Students "DRG" (District Reference Group) — "A DRG is a classification of districts whose students' families are similar in education, income, occupation, and need, and have roughly similar enrollment." Schools High school Darien High School Middle school Middlesex Middle School Elementary schools Hindley Elementary School Holmes Elementary School Ox Ridge School The farthest north of Darien's elementary schools, Ox Ridge School sits behind a small, private equestrian estate. The school's current mascot is Hootie the owl, with the school colors of green and blue. The school's Kids Care Club puts together "Holiday Hope Chests" — decorated shoe boxes with small gifts — for children served by Norwalk's Family and Children's Agency.

Tongue Point Light

Tongue Point Light Lighthouse, also known as Bridgeport Breakwater or Bug Light, is a lighthouse on the west side of the Bridgeport Harbor entrance, in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut in the United States. Built in 1891 and moved to its present location in 1919, it was instrumental in the development of the city's inner harbor as a transshipment point, Connecticut rail and water freight transport systems. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description The Tongue Point Light stands on a projection on the boundary between Bridgeport's inner and outer harbor areas, just east of a power station. It is set on a stone pedestal 10 feet (3.0 m) tall, its square cross section shrinking from 21-foot (6.4 m) sides at the base to 15-foot (4.6 m) sides at the top. The lighthouse is a conical cast iron structure with a 12-foot (3.7 m) diameter at the base, rising 22 feet (6.7 m) to the lantern deck. A heavy metal door provides access on the west side. The interior includes a winding staircase along the outer walls, which leads to a watch room below the lantern deck. The watch room is supported by a central column, with floors made of heavy metal panels. A ladder provides access from the watch room to the lantern deck. The floor of the lantern deck includes eight portholes, providing illumination from the light to the room below. History During Bridgeport's industrial growth of the late 19th century, several projects were undertaken to improve access for water-borne freight. In the 1870s the main channel to the downtown port area was widened, and in 1891 a breakwater was extending from Tongue Point to provide additional shelter. The lighthouse was originally built at the end of that breakwater, about 500 feet (150 m) offshore. In 1919, the shipping channel was widened again, and the lighthouse was moved to its present location. The light was automated in 1954. In 1967, the Coast Guard planned to remove the lighthouse but local boaters protested. The lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation. A modern optic replaced the original sixth order Fresnel lens in 1988. In 1990 Tongue Point Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places under reference number 89001478.

Маяк Танг-Пойнт

Маяк Танг-Пойнт (англ. Tongue Point Light), также известный как Маяк Бриджпорт-Брейкуотэр (англ. Bridgeport Breakwater Light) и Маяк Баг (англ. Bug Light) — маяк, расположенный в устье реки Пеквоннок на правом берегу в черте города Бриджпорт, округ Фэрфилд, штат Коннектикут, США. Построен в 1895 году. Автоматизирован в 1954 году. История Бриджпорт — крупнейший город штата штат Коннектикут, он начал быстро расти после того, как в 1840-х годах через него была проведена железная дорога. Для защиты гавани Бриджпорта в 1891 году был построен волнорез (откуда второе название маяка, хотя сам маяк на волнорезе не расположен). Чтобы обеспечить безопасную навигацию мимо него, 15 февраля 1893 года Конгресс США выделил 2 000$ (сумма была увеличена 18 августа 1894 года на 2 500$) на строительство маяка. В 1894 году строительство было завершено, и в 1895 году маяк был введён в эксплуатацию. Он представлял собой железную коническую башню на бетонном фундаменте высотой 9,4 метра. На маяке была установлена линза Френеля и противотуманный сигнал. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1954 году. В 1990 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест.

Town Hall (Westport, Connecticut)

The Old Town Hall is a historic former municipal building at 90 Post Road East in Westport, Connecticut. It was completed in 1909 as the town's first purpose-built municipal office building. In 1908 the lot was acquired by the town and plans for the new building were solicited from architects. The building committee selected the proposal of Brown & von Beren of New Haven. Proposals were also received from Meloy & Beckwith, Ernest G. Southey and John R. Taylor of Bridgeport. The architectural design of the building is unusual for using cobblestones within a design that is, overall, Classical Revival in style. The building contract was let to Ralston & St. John of Westport and the completed building was first used for town meetings in May 1909. In 1979 Westport moved its municipal offices to a rehabilitated grade school building on Myrtle Avenue. The building has been occupied by several restaurants in the past, and is currently occupied by Massi Co., a Neapolitan restaurant, and Walrus Alley, a southern-style BBQ restaurant and bar. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut References

Trinity Church (Brooklyn, Connecticut)

Trinity Church is a historic church in Brooklyn, Connecticut. Completed in 1771 and little altered since, it is the oldest Episcopal church in the state. Its congregation now meets mainly in a newer church at 7 Providence Street in Brooklyn Center, but still uses this building for special events. The building was added to National Register of Historic Places in October 1970. Description and history Trinity Church is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of the center of Brooklyn, on the east side of Church Street near its junction with Brown Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The siding is largely original, held in place by hand-cut nails. Ground-floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings, while the second-story windows are taller, and set in round-arch openings. The main facade is three bays wide, with a round-arch opening framed by pilasters and a fully pedimented gable. The interior has its original box pews, whose doors are mounted on wrought iron hinges. It also has the original pulpit and reading desk. Much of the money and effort to build the church came from Anglican churchman Godfrey Malbone, as a response to efforts to build a Congregational meetinghouse. Under Malbone's supervision, Trinity Church was finished in April 1771, ahead of the Congregational church. It is the oldest surviving Anglican church building in Connecticut. It is modeled on churches designed by Peter Harrison, and was built in part with the labor of slaves supplied by Malbone.

Trinity Church (Milton, Connecticut)

Trinity Church is a historic church at 536 Milton Road in the Milton section of Litchfield, Connecticut. Built beginning in 1802, it is a distinctive blend of Gothic and Classical Revival architecture that is rare in rural Connecticut. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Description and history Trinity Church stands in the village of Milton, on the north side of Milton Road just east of its junction with Shearshop Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It has tall Gothic-arched windows on the front and sides, and its main entrance is set in a Gothic-arched recess, framed by pilasters and a cornice. A fully pedimented gable above has a small Gothic window. The tower rising above the roof ridge has Gothic-arched louvered openings in the square belfry stage, and pinnacles at the corners beside the steeple base. The interior houses an organ that was built in 1823, making it possibly the oldest in New England. The church congregation was established in 1795 as an offshoot of the St. Michael's Episcopal Church located in Litchfield's main village. This church was designed and built by Oliver Dickinson, with its construction beginning in 1802 and ending in 1826. Dickinson began his design in 1802, seeking to emulate the second building of the Trinity Church in Manhattan (torn down in 1839).
