Today's riddle: What is the difference between black eyed peas and chick peas? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Home Built In 1780 For Sale In Stamford (patch.com) — North Stamford readers may be intrigued by a historic 1780 Saltbox Colonial that's been transformed into a nearly 7,000-square-foot country estate on 2.7 acres and listed for $3.4 million. The Erskine Road property combines original character with extensive 1940s expansions and a 2020 renovation, offering six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and modern amenities while preserving its period charm.
2. Stamford OnlyFans Content Creator Pleads Guilty To Tax Evasion: Officials (patch.com) — Stamford residents are learning that a local OnlyFans content creator has pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion after earning millions online and failing to file returns from 2019 through 2022. Prosecutors say she used numerous business names and bank accounts while spending heavily on personal items, and she now faces potential prison time and over $1.1 million in restitution to the IRS.
3. Bank Foundation Accepting Grant Applications for Teachers (westfaironline.com) — Stamford K-5 public school teachers can now apply for up to $1,000 First County Bank Foundation "FirstClass Grants for Teachers" to fund creative classroom projects for the 2026-27 school year. Applications, which require principal approval and exclude tech purchases and trips, are open online now and due by October 3, giving Stamford educators a short window to propose innovative learning ideas.
4. PMI Exceeds Stamford Hiring Targets (cbia.com) — Stamford's role as Philip Morris International's U.S. headquarters has grown faster than expected, with more than 350 employees now based here and active recruiting still underway. City leaders link this hiring surge and PMI's local charitable giving to rising resident confidence, as new survey data shows Stamford residents more optimistic about their community's direction than many major U.S. cities.
5. Iconic '70s Rock Band Announces Las Vegas Return (parade.com) — Styx is bringing its classic rock hits to Stamford with a Palace Theatre show scheduled for February 23, 2027, as part of a wider North American tour and Las Vegas residency.
