As you pointed out the Knights of Columbus Building in New Haven was built in 1969 so Landmark was No. 4 at best.

And that does not include any buildings in Rhode Island. Providence’s Industrial National Bank Building is taller (428 feet);and was built in 1928. One Financial Plaza in Providence is 410 feet and was also built in 1973. And the Textron Tower is 311 feet and was built in 1971-72. These would push it down to No. 7 between Boston and New York at best.

Theres also a couple of buildings in Massachusetts that are taller and older than Landmark. It’s not even close.

Maybe they were dropping too much acid back then, after all it was the 70s.

A drive through the rural areas starting in Stamford, passing through Greenwich and ending just across the border in Banksville, NY. Quite frankly, much of Connecticut looks similar to this. The video is on the dark and largely unfocused on purpose (artistic).

At 2:54 can be seen the new bridge on Riverbank Road in Stamford. Currently both sides of the bridge are open to traffic and the temporary traffic lights are removed. Practically, the new bridge is done.

Two videos of walking in different areas of Stamford. In both cases they were in different nights, but very late. That’s why most stores/restaurnts are closed and there is hardly any pedestrians. Earlier in the evenings and on weekends these places have a greater presence of pedestrians (particularly in Harbor Point) and the restaurants are nicely frequented.

Around the main commercial strip of the village of Springdale (including the Springdale train station).

Around Harbor Point.

Interesting to see downtown Stamford in 1947!

It has changed so much since then.

This is pretty funny so I wanted to share it here. Martha Stewart at the Kentucky Derby. She still has CT on her mind. This is great advertising for CT. Thanks Martha.

That was pretty funny. You can take the girl out of CT but you can't take CT out of the girl. Or like Hotel California- you can check out but you can never leave.

I thought she live in Bedford, NY?

Yes, it’s right on the border with CT and she has been spotted at restaurants in Greenwich, Westport, etc.
