i don't know man, that sounds pretty messed up to me. but to be honest & realistic do you really think a bank would spend the money & inccur all the costs of running a branch if there was no demand for it or possibility of making money. i don't think the goal of the banking industry is to open superfluous branches & spend money on things that don't bring them a return on their investment. and you can't blame the landlords for any of this as they're just doing what they're supposed to do & maximize their investment in the property. they're not a charity & if they're doing what they're supposed to be doing then they should be concerned about making money as is anyone who gets up & goes to work everyday. i understand the emotion involved here & have lost favorite places of mine due to progress & ridiculously rising costs of living but the fault doesn't belong to the landlord or the banks and if the diner was so concerned about a long term stay at that location they should have worked a little harder & smarter negotiating their lease iwth longer terms or options or even better, they could have taken their profits & bought the property theyby ensuring they'd be there as long as they wanted to stay because it would be theirs to do with as they pleased and when they grow old & gray then they could rent it out to a bank or starbucks or whatever is hot at the time & will pay the bills.

cos cob's was replaced by a new pierce darien's was replaced by a spartan saulsbury & the ford is now owned by the darien pd and used as their scuba truck new canaan's was sold to norwalk fd & they remounted the saulsbury body on an old spartan engine chassis springdale's snorkel is still in service

i'm sure he's received a pink slip & will now have to file for pizza & soda benefits from the state. i'm not condoning what he did but i understand it. having someone cut off your water for whatever reason will really get your hair up.

this just demostrates the importance of toilet paper in our lives and the kind of anarchy and lawlessness that results when one is deprived of toilet paper and forced to use alternative methods and materials.

is that gas or diesel and are they keeping both expeditions or is one going to replace the crown vic at glenbrook?

turn of river's former 1971 seagrave engine 63 now somewhere in mississippi supposedly rebuilt into a tanker

since belltown took delivery of their spartan smeal engine 41 that's been going to a majority of the calls

due to a combination of lack of manpower, lack of qualified drivers, first due engines performing many roles & mutual aid there's a lot of machines in stamford that don't seem to get out the door often, if at all: glenbrook: ladder 31 & engine 34 belltown: engine 42 & rescue 44 springdale: truck 56 & rescue 54 turn of river: engine 62 (before new 62 was delivered), engine 64, ladder 67 & tanker 68. 67 & 68 might get out during weekdays if the fire marshal is in the building & mon. nights (drill & meeting night)

"STAY AWAY FROM DODGES THERE LIKE DRIVING A DUMPSTER " what?????????????? have you even driven a dodge to know what you're talking about. i bought a dodge ram 2500 cummins turbo diesel in may after years of wanting an f250 powerstroke. with all the p/stroke problems i stayed as far away from ford as possible. this dodge is by far the best truck i have driven and owned. it corners so well i feel almost no body roll & the brakes were definately intended for a much heavier vehicle since they stop my truck with virtually no effort and i have more motor than i know what to do with and find myself way over the speed limit without trying. the truck isn't without it's faults but it is one hell on an incredible truck. if it weren't for the cummins i probably wouldn't have even looked at a dodge but i'm glad i did. it's extremely comfortable, drives like a dream & is a lot of fun. if my truck got wrecked or stolen tonight i'd go buy another one without even thinking about it.

for whatever reason this generation is extremely arrogant, very full of themselves, incredibly selfish and self important and unable to show any respect. they also seem to have a quite perverted sense of entitlement just because they're here. if their parents had done their jobs properly and parented instead of trying to be buddies & buying them off with videogames & mp3 players to make up for the guilt of not spending time with them & raising them to be proper polite respectful adults maybe we wouldn't have to waste our time "undoing" all their bad habits & reeducating into what's expected of them & what we're not going to tolerate. and unfortunately there are some kids that as so obnoxious, arrogant & basically deep-seated a$$holes that'll never change & those are the few you need to get rid of quickly because they poison the whole firehouse. and to the parents, if your keeping up with the jones lifestyle & working night & day neglecting your parental responsibilities then DON'T HAVE THEM TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!! baby sitters & day care are not going to raise your kids to be normal, well adjusted, functional, pleasant to be around kids. sorry to rant. guess i'm just another getting to be an old timer sick of having to breakdown & reeducate other people's children because they were too busy or just couldn't be bothered. to answer the original question. of course they've changed because they've raised themselves, are not held to any standards, get whatever they want and there's no consequences for their actions. to the spawners: thanks for dumping your crappy kids on us so we have to do what you should have done in the first place. you wanna be a dad then DO YOUR DAMN JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you & good day
