Orvis guide hat, Stetson makes a nice version too. Straw cowboy hats are pretty common in the summertime.

Welcome to mainstream media, what else would you expect? These "news" outlets literally show murders on their stations pretty much every night. Imagine losing a loved one to violence and then turn the TV on and actually see and hear it? These are disgusting human beings...

You could get an Australian Cattle Dog? =p I also vote for just wearing your hat as you like. CT is very you-do-you, some see it as cold but I feel like it's about not bothering others.

Wilton’s close to trains at Westport and has great schools and a community culture. It’s much quieter than new Canaan or Darien and a good deal smaller. Navy blue in all ways. I moved here three years ago to join my partner, who is a long term resident. Low key and friendly but housing prices are bad.

Was he A. Douglas?

Pension income tax is going away in CT— not sure about 401k tax.

Did you read the article? As a result of this incident they will keep the door to the bar's outdoor spaced locked at all times.

My unsubstantiated claim: put unlimited free parking at every Metro-North station, and watch the world change. Eminent domain, nice tall parking garages, and run roughshod over local zoning regulations. I am not saying I support this, but it would be the fastest way to change things at the lowest cost.

I spent a career of starting work earlier, and then staying later (because the boss wouldn't let me leave early) just to avoid the traffic on 95 & 15. In general, the commutes were not terrible, but the 13 hour workday can wear you down after a couple of decades... also, you still gotta "fit in" between the end of nighttime lane closures in the AM and the beginning of same that night :(

Local busses - those are for getting you from transit hubs to the neighborhood. They are part of the transit picture.

Busses are not good for heavy/high volume/long distance transport.

Check your closest AAA location as well, I’ve used them in the past.

I’m pretty sure that is going to be ignored. My family and I are planning on moving to CT from a red state because of this and other issues that the right wing is messing up (LGBT rights, education, etc).

I do wonder the statistics of people who are leaving red states for blue states. It has to be increasing. At least from personal experience I’m seeing it happen a lot and know people who are fed up and moving. That’s just personal experience, though.

I’m also a climate refugee. The narrative is that people leave Northern states for Southern states, but I think that’s far from the whole picture. Now, I, personally, am an oddball who likes the cold, but it isn’t purely that which is driving me away from the South. It’s also the crazy weather. The tornadoes, the drought, warm weather dominating winter, etc.

I’m utterly baffled by people moving to Florida. I think some of them are going to regret it, as it is increasingly prone to major natural disasters.

I had that same thing a whole lot more recently than a decade ago. I used to commute from Stratford to Meriden by MNR and Hartford rail. Between the two trains and layover, it was 2 hours one way, whereas it's about 45 minutes by car.

Tried to catch a bus to my first day of work in Hartford to save money compared to the train. Maybe this is just an outlier, but I got there 3 hours later than I was supposed to.

no... they work and live in kirkland, washington.... they're data anaylsts who specialize in traffic.

Written by people who drive from bpt to stsmford everyday, probably.

I know Wells Fargo does euros, pounds, and a few others, but I'm not sure if you have to be a member or not so you might want to call ahead and ask if there's a fee or if it's available to non members

West Hartford for sure. Diverse, Progressive, and more lively than most. Very affordable compared to Fairfield County.

You can get 61 on Tubi but only when the local news is on. You can get 8 on their website, but again only when the local news is on.

Lol CT has the highest ranks in the most undesirable categories

How do you propose that we prevent already rich and powerful people from just collecting an extra 100K just for the hell of it? After all, a huge amount of your probability of winning a local election depends upon your ability to fund your candidacy, which is how we ended up with the oligarchical political class that we have.

We need to open the shoulder during rush hour

Well yeah it does.

Are you comparing a bus/HOV lane on 95 to a convoluted commuter bus path from new Britain to Hartford?

Red Sox hat, except if you are in Fairfield county then you a Yankees hat.

Because someone suggested buses running in HOV lanes as a solution. We already have that in Connecticut, so we should know whether that's a legitimate solution for this corridor or not because we have a decade's worth of data.
