[demnan]

1. Birthplace of Dubya

and Mark Twain died there.

That's not a fair trade in anyone's book.

[Champ]

3. Birthplace of Dubya

:D

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. Hey - I was born in the same hospital as Dubbya

I ain't proud of that!

[terrya]

4. The Governor seems to clinging Nixonlike to power.

[skippysmom]

6. I grew up there....

but the attitude of entitlement that some of the people have who live there are incredible.

On the good side...it's a reliably Dem state. Except for that asshole Rowland.

[sus]

7. this is the state uniform:

[BurtWorm]

8. Land o' package stores and "grinders"

What a ridiculous name for subs! Or heroes. Or Italians. Or hoagies.

[Throckmorton]

9. Shut your noise you!!!

Grinders are king, a gift from god itself.

Connecticut, the safest borough of NYC!!!!

[skippysmom]

12. Grinders kick ass

especially if you get them from a pizza place.

I'll never forget the time my father, who has lived in CT for all of his 66 years, walked into a Subway in Madison, Wisconsin and ordered a meatball grinder. The kid behind the counter was completely dumbfounded.

[BurtWorm]

15. I'll bet he thought he was supposed to give him one of these

[kskiska]

35. Next to hard rolls, that is.

I'm a native but I'm not living there at present. I miss those poppy seed hard rolls still warm from the oven. I also miss all that great Italian food – not many Italians in South Carolina. When I'm up there I load up on good San Marzano tomatoes to bring home.

Aside from being the birthplace of the Chimp, the thing that bothers me the most these days is the horrible congestion on I-95 in Fairfield County, and how overpopulated formerly nice places like Westport have become.

[buddhamama]

10. pretentious pretentious pretentious

three nuke plants too many, the smell of Frita Lay and too few open spaces.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. The nuke plant hits close to home

TOO CLOSE!!!

[opiate69]

36. "too few open spaces"

I'm guessing you've never been to the northeastern area of the state... up I 395, past Norwich... I lived out that way for about 5 years, and spent summer's out there before that... aside from Foxwoods and a handful of old mill towns, there's nothing but wide open space.

[SarahB]

42. YES!!!! Northeastern Connecticut is beautiful!

I'm right on the eastern edge of Hartford County and when we go places, it's usually east. There's beautiful state parks, no interstates, and even a drive-in theater nearby. Any place outside the northeast part though is pretty developed. Connecticut has its faults, but there are some nice spots.

[opiate69]

44. You should check out the Pachaug State forest...

On route 138 between Jewitt City and the sprawling metropolis of Voluntown.

[SarahB]

46. I've been there once

We like Mashapaug in Union too. We're very close to Gay City State Park in Hebron which is nice for shirt picnics.
I mean, Connecticut does have it's downpoints, but there's some very quiet, beautiful places too. Even Northwestern CT around Salisbury and Canaan is beautiful.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Joe Lieberman is from Connecticut

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Ouch!!! That hurts!!!

I'm dizzy!

[Canuckistanian]

17. Sorry. That was mean.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Yeah, man. I was kidding aound - you didn't need to get ugly!!

Actually its the Bush being born in the same hospital as me that REALLY hurts!

:)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

13. Birthplace of Dubya and they let him ESCAPE lol

[Insider]

16. governor

Conn. gov. pleads for forgiveness • Caucus to consider impeachment today
Gov. John G. Rowland of Connecticut apologized yesterday for lying about gifts he accepted but pledged to remain in office despite a federal corruption probe and calls for his resignation or impeachment.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

20. Dubya-- Connecticut cowboy

I doubt if any other Connecticut resident can claim to be a cowboy. Neither can Dubya. (Not a real cowboy).

[SarahB]

21. Bad highways

[bigbillhaywood]

22. Way too easy...I lived there for a year and I HATE it. My list...

1. Greatest wealth disparity in US

2. Only place I've been outside of New Hampshire where you can see a truck with a Rebel Flag right next to a Boston Red Sox sticker.

3. Liquor stores close at 8pm (you have to buy your beer there too)

4. People are RUDE (maybe worse than my old abode of Boston)

5. It's BORING

6. Foxwoods Casino sucks! Tackier than any casino ever made, and the restaurants blow.

7. Country boredom with all the big-city attitude

8. Rains even more than Boston

9. Gov. Rowland

10. Joe Liberman

11. IT JUST SUCKS!

[bigbillhaywood]

23. Oh almost forgot two more things...

12. The Grinders SUCK

13. The cops are dicks, especially the Staties. I had some bust up my face and ribs but good once.

[Emboldened Chimp]

38. I lived there for my first 25 years of life

And I agree with most of the above...I like the grinders.

[Kellanved]

43. I noticed

3. Liquor stores close at 8pm (you have to buy your beer there too)
The shaws's supermarket did have beer, but it was hard to find a Liquor stores willing to sell past 8PM. That store was way cool though, not so much the range of beers, as the owner (very interesting conversations and a few freebies (freebeers?)).

[Teddy_Salad]

24. Interstate 95 Sucks!

.

[Kellanved]

27. amen to that

:scared:

[mouse7]

25. Lieberman again.

Plenty of Lieberman meanness for multiple posts.

[Kellanved]

26. Metro North

Ancient trains on prehistoric tracks, high fares ,...

[KamaAina]

33. Connecticut Transit*

also known as Connecticut "Tran-Shit".

Almost no service after 6 PM. 6 PM?! Are you out of your mind?

Sporadic service outside city limits, only on main traffic corrdors (Dixwell Ave. in Hamden, Campbell Ave. in West Haven).

Few, if any, connections between different cities' systems. The only one I am aware of is the service along Route 1 south of New Haven, which replaced the old Northeast Transit bus.

Hourly service on Sunday, even on busy routes like Dixwell and Whalley, and none at all in smaller cities like Stamford or Waterbury.

In short, CT is a large part of the reason I am posting under the name KamaAina, and not HuskiesWinAgain or some such.

28. Connecticut: More Septic Tanks Per Capita Than Any Other State!

Whoo hoo!

[Fridays Child]

29. Holy Joe's state

[bhunt70]

30. Too many C's in the name...C's are useless!

[peacefreak]

31. I84

going through Hartford is the worst designed road EVER. It's been under construction for as long as I've been alive---shall we say over 40 years!

[Emboldened Chimp]

40. 95 is ten times worse

especially at the route 8 interchange.

[Braden]

32. Hartford

[Emboldened Chimp]

[arwalden]

45. I live here... this is my list

Streets roll up at 8pm.
Package stores close at 8pm.
Bad roads.
Bad drivers.

[NightTrain]

48. Actually, the package stores are now open until 9:00 p.m.

Quite an improvement, huh? :eyes:

[Amaya]

49. No shit?

Well, hot DAMN! :D

[NightTrain]
