if that's your jam, there's also a nice little grocery store there in Bantam with lots of local and organic products - Bantam Market. there's also New Morning Market in Woodbury, which is a proper natural foods market with an excellent prepared foods department.

if raw milk is your thing, there's many good farms up here other than Arethusa. Calf and Clover Creamery in Cornwall Bridge is my recommendation!

there's a couple little natural markets in downtown New Milford too. Twin Star makes their own tinctures and herbal medicines.

as for oddity shops, there are a lot of antique and thrift stores in the richer towns, but i haven't found an oddity shop specifically. Gaylordsville and Kent have good ones. Sharon Audubon has taxidermy and bone specimens for viewing. what kind of oddities do you like? i collect bones 🙂

Exactly, this is how these officers behaved knowing they were being recorded.

They are violent monsters who either didn't fear consequences or didn't think they were doing anything wrong.

God only knows what these monsters have done when they thought nobody was looking...

They’ll continue to harass, intimidate, assault, and murder the Connecticut public. And they’ll continue to shut down the state to throw themselves parades. They have all the power and whatever lip service they spew, they know it. The lawmakers support the police because they’re rich and the police only exist to protect the assets of the rich and the anti-worker system that further bloats their bank accounts. ACAB

I don't think such a general analogy really fits. It's more like I've witnessed not one car accident, but dozens of the same kind of car accident and hundreds of similar ones, and read the accident reports and autopsy reports, and also have degrees in each driving science and driving law.

it's all about the waterfalls and hiking up here for me!

i personally favor Dean's Ravine in Falls Village, but the hike down can be tricky anytime of year. Kent Falls is the largest waterfall in CT, and is visible from route 7. No hiking needed 🙂 Bash Bish just over the border on MA's Mt Washington is also lovely. there are trailhead entrances to the falls in both MA and NY.

Arethusa in Bantam is worth a visit - pick your flavor of farm fresh food: they have an ice cream parlor, a cafe, and a high end restaurant. all dairy and beef products are from their own farm.

if you like nature & birds, or have kids, Sharon Audubon is a cool visit - they have over 20 captive birds of prey that you can view in their mews.

have fun exploring! the NW corner is a gorgeous place!

charitable tax deduction most likely, I agree, seems the only thing left to do once you have billions is to become a philanthropist. you don't need to be rich to change the world, just be good to others and meet others with compassion and an open heart
