Shippan is a section of the city of Stamford, Connecticut. The Shippan section borders several other neighborhoods: to the south is Shippan Point, to the west is the South End, to the north is Downtown, to the northeast is the East Side, and to the east is The Cove. A few years ago, a few residents of Shippan Point (a section of Shippan) went to the mayor and asked to make Shippan a town itself, separated from Stamford. This idea was rejected by the mayor of Stamford. The Shippan area includes Shippan Avenue, Elm Street and the smaller streets nearby. The area south of the intersection of Shippan Avenue and Magee Avenue is considered the Shippan Point neighborhood. To the north, the Metro-North train tracks and Interstate 95 separate Shippan from Downtown Stamford. ==Neighborhood features== The neighborhood has a very integrated mix of ethnic groups and even ethnic stores, including Asian (Indian) stores and Italian pizzerias are on Cove Road, and European delis on Elm Street. Blacks, whites, Hispanics, Indians and others all live in Shippan. The neighborhood includes Cummings Park public beach, St. Mary Roman Catholic Church, St. Benedict Roman Catholic Church, a supermarket, and many restaurants and small retail businesses. A Clairol factory is located where the Shippan meets the Cove section on Cove Avenue. In 2008, Clairol Corporation announced plans to sell the facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shippan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
