Reply to On Amazing Tales CT: The bell manufacturing capital of the U.S. is East Hampton, CT. Only one firm (Bevin Bells) remains in business – the last in the country. They created the bell that gave Clarence his wings in "'It’s a Wonderful Life." The podcast URL is in the comments by CTHistory42
Wife and I think this is your best episode to date!

Second Barbri. It was the go-to when I took it in 2015.

I was able to sell my car no problem with the release of Liens box filled out by the bank.
It's functionally equivalent to a clear title.

Reply to Are East Hartford and Manchester seen as below average towns compared to other suburbs of Hartford? by [deleted]
For East Hartford, you could probably draw a line from the southwest corner to the northeast corner to show the division between the fairly nice area and the sketchy, crime-ridden area. I'd feel safe and comfortable in the southeast, especially if it's close to Glastonbury, which is high-end.

Yo, yo, yo, what's up "offeringmyopinions"? More like "offeringmyboringopinions", am I right? Your opinions are so weak, they make me want to fall asleep. Why don't you change your username to "offeringmyyawns"? Or maybe "offeringmysnores"? Trust me, nobody wants to hear your boring takes. Maybe you should stick to offering snacks or something, 'cause you're not bringing anything interesting to the table. Boom! Respect.

East hartford, yes, absolutely. Look at single family home prices. If you go to realtor and sort recently sold - single family homes - by price, the 10th most expensive house sold for just 320k. Do the same for manchester: 445k. West hartford and glatonbury: 920k and 827k.
This doesn't tell the WHOLE story but it does tell a good part of it.

CT has one of the best school systems in the country in like, every category. Move out and come back if you want to compare.

We'll be in the south eastern area so Bolton looks like a bit of a hike. Norwich is pretty close though. Thanks

Reply to What am I becoming? by DreadnoughtPoo
Aight, check it, check it. So you're moving to CT, yeah? And you're worried you're gonna become a Connecticunt? Let me tell you something, mate. You don't become a Connecticunt just by living in CT. It's not like some kind of contagious disease, innit?
But if you really wanna fit in with the locals, there's a few things you can do. First of all, start talking like you've got a stick up your arse, yeah? Use big words and talk about "cultural events" and "exquisite cuisine". And make sure you wear boat shoes with no socks, even in the winter. That's how you know you're a true Connecticunt.

I was thinking $80 for both of them, but I still might be on the high end. Rather overstate than under.

First of all, let me just say that I'm not a product of any school system, okay? I'm a product of the streets, the school of hard knocks. And let me tell you, I've got more street smarts than you could ever dream of.
But for real, why you gotta hate on CT schools like that? Maybe you're just jealous because you couldn't handle our top-notch education system. Or maybe you just had a bad experience because you couldn't handle the heat. Either way, don't come at me like that. I'm a straight-up gangsta with a PhD in street knowledge.

I just checked the demographics and it turns out WH is actually 3% less white than Manchester, but the median income is 50k more.

Maybe, honestly it all comes down to your lifestyle. For a single person/couple it might be fine, but with kids I can assure you 100% not enough.
