I grew up in NW Connecticut. We have the great parts of New England (pizza and seasons, gently caress you if you think CT doesn't have the world's best pizza) but we also have unique things like raggies and NASCAR rednecks who think they're from the south.

There's a ton of American history like Plymouth Plantation and Old North Bridge. Scenic quaint town centers. Fall foliage! Kelly's roast beef.

I got married in Connecticut and loved it. Mystic Aquarium was great but Mystic Pizza gave us the runs. I've been a few other places in NE like Maine and Rhode Island and they're beautiful. I'd move to rural New England in a heartbeat.

Kelly's Roast Beef is so loving good, but expensive. But really good. And their bacon cheese fries will make you hate yourself, but they're good too.

I think it was notable Hartford wit Mark Twain who said if you don't like the weather in New England, wait five minutes yesterday it was 52 and sunny, this is my backyard today  low of 12 tonight I forgot another major thing I love about New England: old stone walls they are loving everywhere and really neat both in a historic and an ecologic sense free hubcaps fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Vermont's got a drug habit too (other than weed, I mean, that doesn't count). Bummer. Heroin's cheap and there's nothing to do, which is a bad combination. I get the impression that's the case in isolated small towns throughout the country, though. I think there are at least three documentaries about heroin in Vermont, probably because no one can believe there's anything other than skiing and Ben & Jerry's up here. At least we've got bitchin' foliage/maple syrup/cheese/covered bridges. And cows. Lots of cows. And our very own cryptid! Champ of Lake Champlain is every bit as real as Nessie!  Our minor league baseball team, the Vermont Lake Monsters, has a super dumb-looking Champ as their mascot. Always nice to see him riding his ATV around the field in Burlington.

free hubcaps posted:I forgot another major thing I love about New England: old stone walls People from away get a laugh when I tell them that stone wall rustlers are a thing in New England. I didn't realize how much I loved them until I spent time living elsewhere and then came home. Apparently a 1939 estimate put the total amount at around 259,000 miles of wall in the northeast at the time. That would circle the globe 10 times or reach the moon. Supposedly, the amount of labor used to build the stone walls in New England and New York "would have built the pyramids of Egypt one hundred times over.”" Also related, old cellar holes.

I like all the woods beats the hell out of the fuckin depressing empty fields with a few stragglin trees you see in the southern wastelands, dotted with the occasional vacant town and/or run down trailer park Also, those of us from Connecticut don't have any stupid obnoxious accent. We talk like people on TV, unlike the rest of you regional dialect mouthbreeders

Vermont has the "yummy yummy' place. It's yummy. Vermont Country Deli is it's name. The tasty place in Newfane burned down. Sad. Honeypie is pretty good. The book stores cafe in Manchester is good too.This has been another Duck and Cover food tip.

free hubcaps posted:I think it was notable Hartford wit Mark Twain who said if you don't like the weather in New England, wait five minutes It was so warm yesterday that is softened the ground up like whoa and i got my truck stuck plowing the driveway. I have 15 acres north of norwich and my driveway is 1000' long. Half way down I got it off to the side a little bit and sunk in. Had to do the rest with a snowblower and I might have to use the old IH 656 tractor to yard it out tomorrow. We have rock walls all over the place here and I love it. There is an old colonial era road that went through the back acres and there are some old wells and foundations. It was also inhabited by local natives and there are signs of them all through the woods. Two (or more?!) indian caves or rock lean-tos, a few carved out spots in the rock where streams run over it, making like a cooler or something. Sometimes you can find cooler things but its hard and I haven't seen an arrowhead found in many years. The history around is about as good as it gets in America. My ancestors came over here in the 1620s and 1630s and lived mostly in Preston, Stonington, and Norwich areas. It is neat driving some of the old roads that predate the white man even, thinking about how many people have traveled over the same roads for so long.

I've never been to gungywamp in Groton but I hear it's really cool and sort of the piece de resistance of southern New England woods ruins Stone walls made me think of some other common but cool New England things that we take for granted, and that got me thinking about the old road signs- the vertical, wooden, white posts with black lettering. I remember them being all over the place as a kid but now they have been pretty much all replaced with the generic green horizontal signs on metal posts, I'll very occasionally see one when far out in the country. I can't even find a photograph of them online, which kind of makes me sad. Nostalgia for road signs, heh.

I live in the lovely part of Vermont but at least the rent's cheap and the nice parts aren't far away. It's been slowly getting better over the past 5 years or so but certain parts are still riddled with poverty and heroin. That said, I'd rather live here than anywhere in the South or Midwest, lol salty fries make me cry fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Southern Maine is pretty nice. I live close enough to New Hampshire to enjoy a smaller city but it's basically a suburb of Boston. Lobster is trash tier ocean bug and always will be. Tourists only love butter and you can't convince me otherwise.
