For years the Klan’s biggest foot hold was Wallingford. Those people are just quieter now but they’re still here. Meriden has a member of Patriot Front, NSC-131 has a member likely in Wethersfield based on their shitty propaganda efforts. They’re still very much here.

The Patriarcas were the dominant New England mafia family - based in Rhode Island (naturally) but I believe the dividing line between them and the NY mafia was the Connecticut River.

Don’t look at the price but at your electric usage for an accurate comparison as electric rates just increased for most. As others have said electric heat can easily be responsible.

How pissed off are those employees. Going from one high cost/tax state to an even worse state. You could have literally picked any other state and you move me to Jersey!!

Pepperidge farms is part of the Campbell soup company which is HQ’d in Camden NJ. Makes sense they would want to consolidate offices.

My wife actually made a cameo appearance in that documentary as a child, she was a frequent attendee of the rowdy section at Trasher’s games with her dad and they made it into a couple shots of archival footage. Was definitely a funny surprise when we were watching it

Jersey isn't much better about the tax situation.
Pepperidge farm is part of a big conglomerate, and this move is probably just to consolidate admin resources now that all of the office jobs are getting automated away.

The Cursios lived in Stratford where I’m from. A little before my time when they were actually more involved in things but my parents generation knew more about them and I remember having one of their houses pointed out to me

A few years ago with my mates. It’s pretty common knowledge to not go into tarrywile park at night cause the klan is active

That doc was so good! I think there’s plans to make an actual movie about the Trashers.
