I know the descendants of lucky Luciano are here in the greater New Haven area. Shook the guys hand the other day! Not bad people.

Definitely! Connecticut is a very car-dependent state, which can be costly to those who own a car and very limiting to those who don't (not to mention harmful for all the other reasons you mentioned above).
We actually took a deep-dive into the rise in deadly car crashes in CT about a year ago: https://ctmirror.org/2022/02/06/connecticut-traffic-deaths-fatalities-dui/.
Additionally, one of our contributors writes a weekly opinion column centered around transportation issues. He founded the CT Commuter Action Group and is a big proponent of public transit, especially trains: https://ctmirror.org/talkingtransportation/.
I'll pass your note along to our urban and regional issues reporter :)

It was 2020. First Cong. Church of Woodstock. There were a few local places we felt welcomed but many people in the area are bigoted. I also lost my job after I came out and experienced discrimination in my workplace; worked in Killingly at a mfg company.

Shoebox Lane, in Wallingford. It was a scary story my grandparents used to tell, and I looked it up one day as an adult only to find out it was true- dismembered body found stuffed in a shoebox, they never solved who/why.

Most definitely. It’s over 10 years since I talked to him, but a friend of mine from Stamford used to collect for a few bookies in Stamford.

USA Hauling has a presence, being based in E Windsor. All American Waste has some Tolland County contracts, Ellington and others I believe.

I’m sorry that you were treated that way. What church was it?
Windham county is crawling with LGBT folks. Haven’t heard of the problems you had. Was this years ago?

Not for a few months. I do Uber, and I'd rather do Bridgeport than Fairfield or Greenwich any day. I had one dude from East Haven to Greenwich, got to the destination, and I swear to god this dude pissed in a bottle in my car! And then wouldn't get out! I had to be polite because he's holding a bottle of piss and I'm terrified of what he'll do with it. He finally got out and now he's banned from Uber (but I'm sure he'll just make another account)
