Mountains no more than 2 hours away. NY City an Hour. LIS with so many ports to visit (unlike West Coast), Four (4) Seasons.........moderate climate...rare tornadoes or hurricanes.......no major bug issues if you use deet when in the woods.....(god i hate bugs) Most people are very friendly.........Jobs are not abundant but we're in better shape than Michigan.........Jodi Rell is our Governor........Now don;t get me wrong...there are negatives also.....The income Tax is a scam....Fairfield County Housing is overpriced (hopefully this will change)..&..Yellowfin Tuna rarely come into the Sound.
