Reply to That billboard by ILovePublicLibraries

Hartfords interesting. It offers very little to its youth and celebrates that they are so desperate for stimulation that they pick up pens and start doodling. Call them an artist. You won't see my city celebrating its athelitcs, intellectuals, or long term professional artists. Everywhere you go you'll see some 22 year old's $300 commission for a building sized mural though.

Hartford has IT. IT is impoverished artists, homeless drug addicts, and very bitter public service workers. We have tons of that shit.

*That colt building dome, taking up the bottom part of the OR.. Hartford doesn't even have that company any more. The decoration is over an abandoned building me and my friend broke in to 10 years ago, great experience btw, saw a lot of history, and is a symbol of Colts defense which moved to west Hartford and is owned by the czech republic because they went under and *honestly I can't go into the rest because I know some people and I'd be nervous to talk about it publicly*

Reply to Made in Connecticut: Foxon Beverage Company of East Haven by jaydecay123

We carried Foxon Park in our store, on an exclusive end cap. Their local rep would come every week, wander around the store, and then leave without delivering a single bottle of soda to the almost-empty shelves. The most lazy, piece of shit person imaginable. I actually felt sorry for Foxon Park, that they could be deceived over and over again by such a trash woman. Taking their money and doing no work in return.

Reply to Experience with salvage title inspection? by ColCrockett

Just ran into the same situation with my car, luckily the insurance company let me buy it back for $250 and they left it registered and they cut me a check for the difference of the total loss. I was planning on buying it for salvage and bringing it for inspection. I spoke with a few mechanics and they all told me it’s a difficult process and almost everyone fails there 1st time. Make sure you review there rules before heading up there. Good luck, let me know how you make out.

I saw that but it doesn’t really make it clear in next steps:

“Once the vehicle passes the salvage inspection, you can re-register the vehicle with the old plates or get new plates. You will be issued a new title (without the "salvage" stamp on it) with the words "Rebuilt" printed on it. Once the salvage inspection is performed, the inspection slip does not expire.”

So can that be done right then and there?

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

Mystic is INCREDIBLY gentrified and touristy, absolute pain in the ass to live there. Waterford’s alright but a little bland, Groton town’s ok but I prefer Groton City (one exit over). New London is definitely your best bet, it’s not like it used to be but it’s still very enjoyable to live there. Where in the UK are you coming from? I’ve got cousins in Nottingham

Reply to Transplants from Nashville? by [deleted]

Connecticut is something like the third most expensive state in the US, especially compared to the south, and if you’re coming up here without a job ready for you it’d be pretty much unlivable. EB offers good jobs if you’re in any sort of engineering field but I definitely have qualms about fueling the Military Industrial Complex. Honestly, out of anywhere in NE I’d suggest Rhode Island or Maine, I’ve lived in both, albeit when I was very young, and I don’t have nearly as many issues with either as CT.
