Reply to Transplants from Nashville? by [deleted]

CT native that did a 5 year stint in Nashville as well. Cant speak on employment but our 2 br apartment is 2k per month which is what we were paying when we lived in Midtown 3 years back.

Reply to comment by Environmental_Log344 in Now that Putin has suspended nuclear arms treaty should we be concerned in CT? by IndicationOver

Depends on where it hits and what the yield is. Anything shy of a “tsar bomba” impact on manhattan is pretty much a fallout problem for us in CT in which case you’re either prepared to shelter in place or evacuate to a fallout shelter immediately. Either way, Greenwich, stamford, cos cob, darien, and parts of norwalk and new canaan would be hit the worst.

Reply to Moving from the UK to work in New London, Where's the best place's to look at moving to? by UNCERTAIN_BUCKET

I wouldn’t discount New London proper. The downtown area has lots of great restaurants and bars, and they are renovating a lot of the buildings to include luxury apartments. It’s very walkable if you live downtown as well — transportation hub to everywhere with the bus/ferry/trains right there.

It is a great art city. There is always a young population due to its having two very expensive colleges. It has a kind of grunge rock feel to it. Try staying at a hotel for a couple of weeks before you rent an apartment. As stated earlier, there are parts of it that are sadly shabby, not cute shabby, but run down and miserable. Be picky, my friend, and you can live a good life in new London!
