Today's riddle: What do you call a paper airplane that can't fly? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Here Are The Latest Gas Prices In Norwalk (patch.com) — Norwalk drivers are paying a bit more at the pump than the rest of Connecticut, with local stations averaging $4.48 for regular gas compared to the statewide $4.45 average. A detailed station-by-station price list helps residents find the lowest options around town and see how local costs stack up against New England and national averages.
2. Police Investigating Illegal Auto Repair Businesses In Norwalk: PD (patch.com) — Norwalk residents are being urged to double-check that any auto repair shop they use is properly licensed, as local police, fire officials, and zoning inspectors crack down on illegal garages operating in the city. Authorities warn that unlicensed repairs can lead to serious safety hazards and ask residents to submit anonymous tips about suspected illegal operations through TIP411 to help protect the community.
3. Police Seek Information About Motorcycle, Pickup Truck Crash In Norwalk: PD (patch.com) — Norwalk police are asking for the public's help after a weekend crash between a motorcycle and a pickup truck at Westport and Lufberry avenues. The accident reconstruction team is investigating and wants to hear from anyone who saw the collision or has information, offering both phone and email contacts for potential witnesses.
4. Connecticut house listings rise in September, but mortgage rates sideline first-time buyers (ctpost.com) — Norwalk homebuyers are facing a 14% jump in the median sale price, now nearing $721,000, even as local listings and sales both decline. Statewide, more homes are hitting the market, but mortgage rates above 7% are sidelining many first-time buyers, leaving better-financed households and out-of-state movers from New York driving competition and prices in Norwalk and nearby towns.
5. CT veterans can get free bus passes. Here's how to apply (ctmirror.org) — Norwalk veterans can now ride local buses for free through a new statewide pass program that includes the Norwalk Transit District. Eligible veterans apply online, verify their status with approved IDs, and select only the routes they truly need, then receive monthly passes by mail that must be renewed regularly to keep riding at no cost.
