Read my #15. The wealthy folks in Greenwich and Westport don't give a sh-t. Places like Danbury are well off their radar screens.
What you said! There is no question at all that Danbury is considered a bad dream -- only a step above Bridgeport and a bit below Norwalk -- to the extent it enters into the Lower Fairfield County Consciousness. Their high school plays in the same league as the Gold Coast towns, but that's about the ONLY interaction for 95+% of LFC residents. The other 5% have ventured to the Danbury Mall once. Perhaps this is less true for Ridgefield and Wilton, which are closer to Danbury than to the coastline, but certainly Danbury might as well be Timbuktoo from Greenwich. I've lived here 20+ years and have been to Danbury perhaps half a dozen times: all for regional school music events for my kids.
