Reply to Nice driving routes in CT? by lily_noodlez
I like: Route 146 through Guilford, Route 148 (Chester), Northrup in Bridgewater and other nearby roads, 67 around Roxbury, 199 Roxbury to Washington, drive around Lake Waramaug. Most of Route 7. I also just like driving along coast from Milford to West Haven. Gulf St is gorgeous at sunset.
Route 53/58 around reservoirs in Redding/Weston.
East Rock and Prospect Hill New Haven has really gorgeous houses to explore. Driving up East Rock Park is really cool when it’s open. East Haddam Swing Bridge is gorgeous. Lots of nice roads around East Haddam and Lyme’s. Gillette Park. Love driving around Fenwick (watch out for golf balls!). Drive around Southport Harbor.

It was removed. Then someone posted a screenshot in the Colebrook page.
Then people complained that this person was continuing rumors.
I guess we will see.

If you don't expect too much from them you might not be let down.

In Niantic, the East Lyme Regional Theater Company has just bought the Niantic Cinemas building and will be a new home for them as the Niantic Bay Playhouse. I hope they will be an addition to the area as the movie house will be missed.

Blame AAA for that. There’s two divisions of AAA. One of them wanted to only perform services for AAA members. When they were told they had to do it for everyone, they dropped out

The Little Theater of Manchester is great. SOs been a few times and has enjoyed everything seen so far.

I would bet there was no funny business involved, the place was probably a money pit and burning through $50k is nothing when you’re in the red

Regardless of what they are saying now, I’d be surprised if they did. The theater business in general isn’t doing well, several movie theaters across the state have closed in the past year. A drive in that can realistically only operate at best for maybe 4 months out of the year is probably an extremely difficult business to run profitably even if the theater business was running gangbusters.

Not a very long drive (like 10-15 mins) but Route 302 from Newtown into Bethel is a nice drive. Always loved doing it super late at night because it feels so dark and creepy.

And the parents have already raised over $40,000 on gofundme… given their lack of parenting up to this point you gotta wonder if the donations will actually be used for funeral expenses.

If the property owners sold the property there’s not all that much she can do

Check the XL Center in Hartford for events. The Hartford Athletic soccer team should have games then. Hartford Yard Goats baseball team as well.

From reading this newer story it seems like there were two pairs of siblings involved. Don't know why parents would let a bunch of kids that young go out that late unsupervised though.

Reply to comment by Flaky-Ninja-4731 in Living wage calculation for New Haven County by paulthebackpacker
They would need a rent for $1000 or less. New Haven, West Haven, and Waterbury have cheap options in New Haven County, but even then it's limited.

I really find this list out of touch. I posted awhile ago how someone can live on minimum wage. The issue is my imaginary person could only spend $900 to $1000 max on an apartment. Even at 17 something an hour that's all you could afford.
Most people want Milford and you need at least $1500 to $1700 usually.
West Haven, New Haven, and Waterbury have cheaper options, but it's not usually what people want.
