Having a car will make your life easier, but if you find a place you like in Windham (Willimantic) you can likely get by without one. Public transit isn't amazing there, but you can get a bus to groceries and UConn.

The place is deceiving for sure.
It is a fairly run down, hole-in-the-wall sorta place. Looks like it hasn't been updated or seen a fresh coat of paint since probably the mid-1990s if I were to guess.
But definitely some of the best chicken grinders around.

OP said tunnels, not one lane tunnels.

Get Foxon Park Iron Brew. Both taste like trash, to me.

That should be fine. I don't think that NRA cert goes bad... certainly not within a month or two.
If you do it within the year I'm sure that's perfectly fine. Probably beyond too but I've never heard of someone doing the class and then not applying for that long so I don't really know

The sesame bread from Arthur Avenue is what separates them from all other delis in the area, probably even the state.

That explains it, Canadians 😂
Thank you for the info and the welcome! By the way, that fluffy stuff in the air, it's not a haboob... It is called snow.

Not sure about moxie, but you can definitely get chutzpah.

Oh and if you move in the state!!!
You have to notify the registry within 48 hours (could be 72). NO JOKE.
Otherwise you lose your license and have to do it ALL again.
We were literally on the phone at 9:05 the day after we moved into a new house.

Some towns have weird extra requirements, like letters from neighbors (or at least they used to). was talking to a guy who lives in Guilford: when he got his years and years ago (he's in his late 60s now), he had to talk to his neighbors. Ugh. Nope. I don't want anyone to know my business about anything.

I get that and have enough chicken cutlets left for 3 more meals. It is literally impossible to fit in your mouth as it is roughly the size of your entire head.

But hosmer has root beer, orange soda, grape soda, black cherry soda, et cetera, which taste a little different of course but are the same flavors/types of soda that other companies make. Moxie is one of those flavors/types of soda but I’ve never seen any other brand make that flavor.

Hosmer Peach and strawberry sodas are the best soda ever

I lived in Vernon as a grad student on $22k. This was about 10 years ago at this point so I'm not sure how rent has changed. If you have a car I highly recommend commuting from Vernon or Manchester

That name is ridiculous. That tunnel can ruin your day with one stupid person.
And let's be real. It's the orange tunnel.

Willimantic was incredibly rundown and had the state’s worst heroin problem for decades. Other drugs and crimes were pretty bad too. It’s getting better though, through a lot of hard work, but I’d still put it last on my list of potential homes.
