I wore a cowboy hat in my younger years living in Louisiana. When I moved back up here for work I began wearing flat caps, keep your head warm and looks cool too

Generally, developers get dedicated lines of credit for those types of projects that are essentially shorter mortgages. So as long as they had the funding secured before the rate hike, and the line is still open, interest rate isn't too much of an issue.

Start work earlier and leave earlier. End of problem.

You will be looked at like a racist republican. These same peope telling you "wear what you want" will see you in a grocery store and judge the hell out of you and laugh.

Before anyone call me a Nazi, I'm independent, i know how you guys work.

The last one may vary from one town/restaurant/bar/wherever else people socialize. For the record, I agree with the point you made. I’ve just seen more than a few of them.

Smart cars that work together would help.

As someone with ties to the west, please do. The manager of Oak Barrel Wine and Spirits in Farmington wears one every time I have seen him. Go to any country concert in this state and you'll see everyone has dusted off theirs for the event. I'm not a fan of wearing hats in general, my head is shaved and they make it itch, but I wear a straw cowboy hat when I go golfing.

No, fancy hats only

Get a Sox hat and be done with it

Love all the empty buses and off-peak Metro-North trains. Solid investment.

It shouldn’t take 90 minutes to go from Bridgeport to Grand Central.

You could get a fedora with safari flaps. The guy at the store said I was the only one he'd ever see pull it off.

>I don’t know why you keep chirping back.

Keep chirping back? I am simply replying to you for throwing accusations at me how old are you 15?

I will help you do better, blocked.

I've driven through LA and between LA and San Diego, and I'm sorry, but 12 lanes of standstill traffic is an everyday occurrence in Socal. It's bad here, but it's mind-boggling out on the West Coast.

>The only other counties to see growth through the 2010s were Hartford County and New Haven County.

I really don't have the time to go granular but Hartford and New Britain and it's immediate inner ring grew as the hinterland shrunk... Same thing with New Haven/West Have and Waterbury. CT's population is concentrating in areas where neighborhood density was already some of the highest in the nation.

I don’t know why you keep chirping back. Lots of assumptions and projection outta you along with attempts at passive aggressive BS.

Someone committing a crime is not comparable. If you can’t see that, again… do better.

I posted my opinion to your post and I stand by it. If someone disagrees with you, downvote. Fuck off? - you’re a silly child.

TBH, I make fun of everyone who wears cowboy hats regardless of where they are

> We really need to do a better job building up / redeveloping around our stations

100% in agreement. The fact there's any surface or structured parking right at the station is beyond a waste of tax rolls and economic development.

Norwalk has the Merritt 7 complex which has the main campus of Datto (huge homegrown corp) and to my knowledge still the day-to-day c suite offices of GE that will probably stay there for quite a while, if not indefinitely due to the failure of the Boston campus.

Bridgeport... ho boy yeah. There are a few issues there from no pedestrian path to the east side (which could expand the fabric of the CBD by a huge margin) and a serious lack of Class A office suites/office apartments. Interest in building new Class A has been tepid, largely because propriety buildings have "vacancy" (cough, Bridgeport Centre) but aren't really for rent which throws off many potential developers on first glance, as does the reputation that Bridgeport politics has/had/will have. That said, the housing market in the CBD is still white hot, with any rentals getting interest within weeks of coming online. There's too much parking, too many property owners that are depreciation harvesting, and too many poor uses like the Bob's strip mall. So I'd say the CBD is chugging along, not booming, but also not quite anemic.

I think your problem will be too many options, not whether such a place exists.

My top choice would be Greenwich, particularly Old Greenwich - very family friendly, easy train to the city (driving wouldn't be easy though, from anywhere), progressive, very safe, and beautiful.

For something less expensive, I'd opt for Fairfield or Milford, both of which are great towns and more diverse as well. Ridgefield is also great but not as convenient. Guilford and Madison too.

Farther afield, places like West Harford, Simsbury and Avon are excellent as well.

I bought an all-weather outback-style hat from REI once. A Dorfman Pacific. Looks like this except without the feather thing. https://www.amazon.com/Scala-Classico-Mens-Crushable-Outback/dp/B005EP1PQO

It keeps my head shaded in the summer and warm in the winter. Pretty good fit for the northeast. Mind you, I haven't a clue if anyone thinks I look weird. They certainly never tell me.

You're gonna need to call ahead and make sure. The bank my wife works at generally doesn't have any unless someone exchanges what they had for USD earlier that day.

Sir or ma'am what does Reddit karma do for my real life? I'll wait. I post in r/connecticut often, you can message the mods if you feel I violated the rules.

I also get downvoted plenty because well I that is what happens on Reddit when people don't agree on topics.

With all due respect, you can fuck off.

Someone posted a story of a mother who just killed her 2 children from Mass....not even news out of CT. Did you do the same in that post, I am sure you can find it since you are on here often like I am.

Here’s a guide for you and anyone else who’s not sure of what’s acceptable.

Cowboy hat=cool, whatever

Propeller Beanie=fine, whatever

MAGA cap=you are stupid

You are just dancing in the grave of somebody who leaves behind 3 kids. How much they were worth is irrelevant. You are entitled to your opinion but there used to be a little thing called common decency.

NYP does fall under conservative "tabloid"

Yeah but the area around the train in Bridgeport isn’t economically thriving…the area around Stamford has some office buildings yes but otherwise you’d have to bring & ride a bike to get to the many other employers throughout the city (aka just drive instead), and idk enough about around the Norwalk station to comment.
