If you can afford it, Mystic is the place to live.

Not much? Wherever you are in the country if the nukes start flying, you're fucked.

Obviously it is concerning that Putin is taking this step but it's not like he'll launch one nuke perfectly aimed at the Waterbury MixMaster. It's all or nothing.

I heat with gas and my bill was over 350. My Electric wasnt bad at around 280.

With summer around the corner, my pool and central AC is gonna kill my wallet.

Family of 5.

But orange man bad?

That is so true! I got chatting to some Americans here in a pub, and it blew their minds the pub they were currently in was older than the United States. Old stuff/history is everywhere this side of the pond. Thanks for the advice too!

You’re learning :)

Look Biden’s doing a great job I tell ya, a great job!

That Lime Rickey is my fave

I would stay out of New London and definitely look into Mystic

Say that in the next mass shooting thread where people bring up pro-lifers, be consistent

LOL I am not a fan of that flavor. I swear it's what they get when they mix up all of the leftover flavors hahaha

At least ya finally acknowledged handguns can be shot competitively and for fun too

There's literally an Athens Pizza in every new england county

I live in California and I just found a spot about 30 minutes away that specializes in New Haven style pizza and sells Foxon Park soda.

I've come to learn that birch beer isn't a thing outside CT, so how would you describe it's flavor to someone who's never had it before?

If it were me, I would be looking north of New London, not East or West. I95 can be a nightmare during a commute that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I would be looking for somewhere in Montville, Uncasville, or even Salem. I would rather a longer drive once a week to go to Mystic or some other entertainment'y place vs living in the entertainment'y place and commuting an hour each way in traffic every day for work.

Remember, we're very different than you realize when it comes to travel. Do not plan on taking a train, subway, or bus to work. Everyone in this part of the state drives to work, and they almost all use I-95. A little weather makes the whole interstate a parking lot down there. If you're north of New London, you can go in to work on back roads and avoid the interstate.

I just moved to east lyme. I think it’s the sweet spot for me. Easy to get up North with route 9, 20 minutes to mystic, closer to Groton/New London, and it’s a small town with (almost) everything you need in Flanders Village with beachy stuff in Niantic, and the whole area is surrounded by wooded/outdoorsy state parks and beaches.

Gassosa!!!!!

Work on the GSB is on the superstructure for the next 2-3 years, no work up top causing construction delays for at least 4 years (phase 2/3)

I’m gonna recommend West Hartford proper over Hartford. It will just be a nicer experience.

When looking for apartments, avoid places that have electric baseboard heat as it’ll cost you a fortune.

I think you may need to be married to bring your partner via L-1, please double check that.

It's funny. We had never been to nor thought about moving to Connecticut just two years ago. After a metric shit-ton of research it was at the top of our list. I guess we weren't alone.

Our Thames River is NOT pronounced like your Thames River. That said, the bridge over it will be a construction delay for the next couple of years (was just awarded a big federal grant to repair) so I'd recommend living on the same side of the bridge that you work on.

House prices still need to adjust to these higher interest rates. Without TTO they are pretty unaffordable for first time homebuyers. Unless you’re moving here from out of state with a nice high paying remote job.
