I travel all over the country for work and will always live somewher in New England but not Ct! Lived in Brookefield on Candlewood, Southington, Plainville and East Windsor. All o.k. in nice neighborhoods but way to expensive! Car insurance is double, home prices are way out of line, The traffic sucks on all the highways! Now in Mass, I live in a town with 3900 people, 1/4 mile away from the river ramp. 35 minutes to Vt/Nh where the smallie fishin is 10 times better than Candlewood and NO PEOPLE! I Do like the the striper fishin and high water bass fishin in Ct. I have to go thru 2 lights to get to Bradley and I live 55 miles from there with No traffic...until I get to Ct!
