To the right you can also see one of the only types of street signs in Connecticut as well

Technically the truth

They have one in gold Greenwich that runs under the train tracks

To each their own

Right

All of the towns around Storrs are very safe, nice places to live. However, they are very rural and you absolutely need a car. Vernon/Rockville is not too far and has decently priced rentals. There are also a lot of amenities in town (shopping, restaurants, doctors, etc.) so you wouldn't be as isolated as you might feel in Ashford or Willington.

Yeah fuck Wisconsin

Get yourself some very good dehumidifiers because the summer humidity will fuck you up. We live at the top of a hill and have no issues with leaks or flooding and still have to rub humidifiers in our basement and garage to keep the mold at bay.

Sounds like every day at a Nardelli's, too.

One of your first priorities will need to be a car in eastern Connecticut. If you live close to the center of a town, like Willimantic and Rockville (they're downtown sections within larger towns, you'll get used to it), you'll likely be able to find a bus route to UConn. But overall the public transport network is very lacking if you're used to European standards, especially so in the eastern half of the state because it's more rural.

Busses are free right now so if you're willing to spend the time it's a way to save money very easily. $78,000 is doable for a couple in the area

Pre-pandemic, the line stretched onto the sidewalk at lunchtime. They just kept bringing out trays of chicken cutlets from the back. I hope they are still doing well. That's a quality, no frills, delicious chicken cutlet sandwich.

This needs more upvotes

Or at rooftop 120 in Glastonbury

Oh my goodness. This isn't my part of the state but I may need to make a pilgrimage.

They do, it just takes forevvvver if you've got more than one or two cars waiting. A light would be far more efficient (although perhaps more dangerous? Don't know).

Love it lol

Thats not a tunnel like this is. Its a metal train bridge. And technically its in Eagleville, which is in Mansfield

Do people not take turns driving through?

I can tell you're being sarcastic but for those that don't know its Tunnel Road

Yeah, so the OP confused me. Or was this like a troll post and I missed the joke lol

Theres at least one in Putnam, theres one in Portland, theyre everywhere

Wethersfield pizza house. Steve and Maria are worth the trip alone. My personal guilty pleasure is Kensington market though. Whenever I go through Berlin I get a chicken cutlet parm on a hard roll with peppers and onions and a piece of Lasagna for the next day's lunch.

Indeed, I'm going to Uconn as a new faculty. I'm from Greece. Yes, when I checked the rentals most it was intended for students in Storrs. You're right, lol. I'll take a look at other towns and seek help free m the center. Thank you a lot for all the precious information. You're awesome!

No real Chinese food. The food up here is for the “chicken and broccoli” crowd. Having to drive to Queens when I have a hankering is annoying.
