A lot of these are Connecticut specific, good stuff. I forgot about the defense industry! Our tiny rear end state has Sikorsky, electric boat, plus colt, marlin, and Winchester, to name but a few. Also I'm more of a clam fritter/big y guy myself

I've driven by pizza palace many times but have never tried their pizza. Valentino's up in ledyard makes a mean pie too.

I live between saybrook and Middletown now and there is a small chain called da Vinci in the area that makes really good thin crust also



vvv oddly enough (or maybe totally sensibly) subway was founded in Bridgeport. Our preferred moniker for subs could have gone national but noooo they had to go with clever wordplay

I remember when I went to college in Pennsylvania, everyone laughed and thought I was weird for calling subs grinders, then proceeded to call them hoagies. Lol.

People say the Green Onion in Lisbon is good pizza but I don't much see it. Oakdale has a better pizza place. However in CT we have Hartford which is a loving lovely rear end city of lovely poo poo poo poo. And Connecticon which is a nerd convention that manages to be hilariously inept while still massive. Connecticon sucks I don't recommend it.

Sadly Grinders as a term is dying out thanks to chains taking over. Subways and poo poo. Also RIP Bradlees, Ames, Caldor, and Zayre. Walmarts and Targets as far as the eye can see. :smith:

I lived in Providence for about six years and it's a good town that I still love, but living there makes you feel really isolated which is why I left. It's a nice city ringed by a hellscape of southern New England awfulness.

Clam fritters are great, the Republican town committee booth at the fair here made the best ones but I haven't been to a fair in a few years.

There's a family owned place nearby that sells whole belly clams that has been in business since 1925 or so, really great stuff.

CT is also known for its tobacco and is generally regarded as producing the finest broadleaf tobacco which is used in wrapping.

Whenever I go up to bradley I always love seeing the old tobacco sheds in Windsor. I grew up in Preston and recently have been exploring the state more, I really love the quiet corner, lots of cool, small historic towns up there and great hiking. I've actually been thinking of joining the Last Green Valley recently which seems like a good organization to be a part of.

Even though I poo poo talked RI drivers, people from providence don't end up in MA that often it's just all the old people from the rest of the state who do. Providence is pretty alright. The only people who don't believe that think they drive too fast or too aggressively and are the problem drivers themselves.

East coast obesity rate: notably lower than the rest of the US. Some parts of the fishing industry (lobster/conch/most state ran fisheries) are sustainable. Some other parts aren't.

Okay, montana and colarado have us beat. Those are both okay states anyway. California has us beat by 0.1%. That's not a lot of percent for obesity rate, especially when one side spends 6 months of the year indoors and the other lives in permanent summer time, and is likely within the margin of error of the survey data.

Wallace Stevens once broke his hand on Ernest Hemingway's jaw and also wrote some good poetry while simultaneously being Vice President of The Hartford. I.e. a pretty cool dude.

The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.

Our weather is wonderful, snow in may and 80 degrees in december, why just yesterday it was 50 degrees and today we're getting 16 inches of snow! Good times!

Pizza in massachusetts is real good. Real good pizza here. Place in billerica has a Texas cowboy pizza that is guaranteed to put you in a food coma, it's steak tips, grilled chicken, bacon, and barbecue sauce with extra cheese.
Yeah like what the gently caress idiot massachusetts drivers are the literal worst, we are defined by our bad drivers

New England kind of sucks because it doesn't have many good open-air drug markets like California. Cali had places where you could go buy drugs at 3am and get whatever you wanted and you didn't even have to make a phone call.

Apparently New England has a terrible opiate crisis but I can't really find any reliable ones.

And Boston is an alright city but it's nightlife kind of blows. Everything closes at like, midnight.

Everything 15 miles or less from the coast is either a nice upper-middle class town (or UPPER UPPER UPPER CLASS! Kennebunk has some crazy mansion compounds) or a somewhat tacky/trashy beach town (but still alright). Once you're away from the coast it's white trash as gently caress though.
