Not sure it’s smaller? I’m looking at the footprints on Google Maps at the same zoom level and Milford’s looks bigger.

The traffic isn’t usually bad near WF. I live in town and reports of it being bad are grossly overrated. It is bad for a few hours on Saturday’s and during the holidays, otherwise pretty manageable.

Milford WF is fine if it’s closer. Also I’m not sure it’s smaller. Looking at the footprints on Google Maps, Milford actually looks bigger.

Anyway, I’d just try both, or whatever’s quicker on a given day (just check on Google Maps for real time traffic).

Make about $125-200/hr on most projects. Mortgage is $2800/mo. Nice area in Milford.

I don’t know how anyone making under $100k a year lives in a nice house comfortably anywhere desirable in the country. It’s pretty sad.

After reading that article it sounds far more likely a few companies who grease the right hands will be granted permission as opposed to state wide decriminalization. Serves me right for reacting to the headline. I guess that's how recreational cannabis dispensaries started so maybe there's reason for optimism

I agree with the New Haven and Mystic/Stonington Borough suggestions. New Haven is packed with great food, music, museums, art, culture, and the latter is quintessential coastal New England.

I love Guilford, Essex, Madison especially inbetween, but tough without a car. Sea Shanty Monday’s at the Griswold Inn would be an amazing experience for you.
