really? I grew up in Greenwich and it was the whitest of white


Where in Greenwich?


Riverside.


Like down by the water? Or north of the tracks?


Like down by the water. Greenwich HS / Eastern Middle School / Riverside or Old Greenwich ES /
A 10 minute walk to Old Greenwich train station.

Darien was where "The Ice Storm" was set.

Very similar looking once you get into the residential areas.

Have you visited yourself? You should do that.


I have. I like both. Not sure which is better from a lifestyle perspective though.

What are the pros/cons of each town? Which is the better town to raise kids in and stay to retire in once an empty nester? Looking for beaches and good restaurants/good social life for kids and parents.
