So where is everyone going to watch NFL every Sunday? I’ve lived in the Hartford area 1.5 yrs and haven’t found a reliable sports bar where people actually go to watch. Good beer + food is a plus.
It's been about 20 years since I got a good suit and I have a wedding next weekend so I figure it's a good time to get fitted again. Where is a good place to go? I'm in central CT.
Honestly what it says as the title, cuz the place sounds like something of a hole in the wall, but im curious as to what happened

Best places to visit in East CT where we can take the stroller and practice our photography?
They closed during the pandemic. I miss them. I need stuff. Where do you go for a good selection of affordable curtains sheets blankies pillows?
Finally some rain tonight! It won't end the drought but it's better than nothing. Possibly some more Thursday. Fingers crossed. Also, don't forget to think about our vets tomorrow.
Hello I am looking to rehome my red eared slider turtle that I have had since I was 13. He just turned 10 years old and I am moving out of my parent’s house into an apartment and will not have room for him anymore. He is about 5-6 inches big. I have reached out to multiple animal sanctuaries but they do not have the room for him at the moment. I am looking for any advice on where to look or who to reach out to. If anyone is interested in taking him on I will give you the basking lamp, 45 gallon tank, filter, and all the supplies I have. Just trying to find a home for him. Thanks!

Not that giving money to Coinstar doesn't sound delightful, but I know there was a People's Bank in Shelton that did it...
I remember they used to give you paper rollers and send you home and you counted and rolled em yourself.
Weekly post for questions about moving to CT.

( i know i could’ve keep it and the try to contact you directly from your phone. but there’s many stereo types now days, that they might’ve thought i would steal it. )
I am wondering how many of you who attend worship are actively thinking of changing where you go based on election outcome.
Second question do your political beliefs align with established Christian beliefs.
Hi everyone! My husband and I are starting to look at places to move around NE and the southeastern part of CT is on our list. Our families live in MA on the south shore and near cape cod so we don’t want to go too far west. Probably not past Westbrook. I’ve looked at a ton of places but would love to hear anyone’s opinions here. PS we love the beach so would like to be within 30 mins of one.
Chucks and margaritas has one the best goddamn salsas. Does anyone work there or used to and are willing to give up the recipe? I fkn love that shit but they started selling pints for like $9. Not finding much on the internet because of course it’s proprietary. Just shooting my shot!
I’m still fairly new to Hartford County and haven’t found many bars that are on the quieter side. Anyone know of places that are low key where I don’t have to yell at the person next to me to have a conversation?
21M, experienced helper, looking for more work or experience on weekends. 25/hr helper rate, or price by job. Messages are open!
I got a voucher for Bristol CT, 2 bedroom $1700.
I know when someone receives a voucher they must live in that city for 1 year before they are able to move to a different city.
I wanted to know has anyone been able to get around this rule? Is there something I can say or do for Housing to convince them, that will allow me, to move closer, to the city I currently live in?
I work in Trumbull. My child goes to a private school in Trumbull and I don’t want to put her in a public school. I don’t have a car and Bristol is an hour away.
Is this a sufficient excuse or will they still require me to move to Bristol?
Looking at a home in northwestern Connecticut and trying to get a ballpark estimate of what the renovation costs may like: -Bedroom addition with bathroom - approx 200-250 sq foot. There’s space to build horizontally on property and existing septic could accommodate. -Upgrade kitchen: use existing layout but replace cabinets, counter and appliances. Middle of the road in terms of finishes. -Renovate mid-size bathroom- again no major changes to layout, but cosmetic upgrades
Also hope to GC recommendations!
Hi everyone! My husband and I currently live in the Carolinas, but we’re planning to move to Connecticut next year. I’ve always dreamed of living there – the beauty, the historical homes, and the charm of the state are calling my name!
We’re looking for recommendations on the best areas to move to, especially ones with great schools since we’ll be starting our family soon. Also, if anyone wants to share what they love most about living in Connecticut, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
I’m in Waterbury but don’t mind driving up to 25 minutes.
I’m a 37-year-old male looking for busy nightclubs or bars open tonight & tomorrow.
Any recommendations?
Does anyone know what caused the car fire in Wallingford CT? I was driving down Route 15 and the fire was huge. I hope everyone involved is safe and okay.
moved back home after college and insanely bored on weekends, in southern ct and sick of the new haven night life scene, anything going on anywhere else during the weekends?
No idea where else to put this. If needs to be removed, go on. Size L, still has the tag on it. Cant take more pics and vids if needed. I haven’t worn this not one time and I’d like to get rid of things I don’t wear/haven’t worn. Got from H&M last year, can send it to you, don’t care about s&h, or drop off to you (I live in Fairfield county). Don’t wanna just put in some clothes bin. Thanks
