NewCanaanite.com—Newshound LLC Information

Whether they're new to town or fourth generation, New Canaan residents live with a calendar that advances less with months than with community events: May Fair to Memorial Day Parade to Waveny fireworks to Turkey Bowl to caroling at God's Acre. For some, the opening of the Farmer's Market recalls the annual students-faculty kickball game at Center School. The P&Z Commission's nod to a new business on Main Street reanimates a high-turnover commercial space we've yearned to see stabilized. We hold our breath in the stands during a big moment in the game on Mellick Field, and grab something to eat afterwards at the Mead Park Lodge as a family, just as New Canaanites did at the Kwik Stop 20 years ago. Understanding the sensibility of New Canaan residents, the editors at NewCanaanite.com deliver hard news in a local language, and produce evergreen features that cannot be found elsewhere. NewCanaanite.com reflects town goings-on not only in legacy media articles with photos but also with video, interactive widgets and social media. The content is produced by brothers Terry and Michael Dinan. They grew up in New Canaan, where their mom taught in the public schools for more than 30 years, attending Center School all the way through New Canaan High School. Terry is a NCHS Rams booster who covers sports as well as New Canaan history and other features. He lives in town with wife Andrea and children Gillian and Cooper. Michael is a former Patch.com editor who covers hard news for NewCanaanite.com. He lives with his wife Marie in Stamford and their three beloved dogs. This site is very much a labor of love as well as a new small business here in town. Please like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and email Terry or Michael at editor@newcanaanite.com with tips or suggestions. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you in person soon.
