That's not true - there are big blue signs up all over the state welcoming people to Connecticut!

If you want steamy fun in Connecticut just go outside. It's warm enough out there.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in They make money videotaping officials. Why and how some CT leaders want to stop them by gyokuro
Do you freak out when you see cameras in a bank? Or in the post office? Or the town hall? Or in nearly every single business you go into? Maybe I would find them annoying, but who says I get to be the arbiter of what's reasonable behavior especially when what they are doing is neither harmful nor illegal? I've seen some of the videos on youtube and as far as I can tell for the most part they just want to be left alone to record in spaces they are allowed to be in, and if they don't get the reaction they will just get bored and go away. Maybe we hire some adults to work in important positions that can handle the stress and rigors of having someone record their public workplace for a few minutes? If you choose to be a public servant, being watched is to be expected I think.

I don't understand the problem. I can see if someone comes in and creates a disturbance, but most of the time these people come in where the public is allowed to go and just record to see if someone tries to stop them. There is no disturbance until our public servants freak out over it which is ironic because almost all public buildings have cameras rolling 24/7.

It's going to get worse. As we flip the calendar from December to Toyotathon, the car commercials really ramp up for some reason.

Providence but Rhode Island made a stink about it passing through their reservoirs. I-384 was signed I-84 in the '80s, and current I-84 was signed I-86. I still would have followed the route 6 alignment and terminated it at 395 or at route 6 just before the reservoirs in RI.

I meant now compared to what other states are doing and not so much compared to the previous Connecticut plate.

I like how simplistic they are now especially when you look at other states. No crazy color schemes, graphics, illegible fonts, or stickers all over the place. Some states include county names and stickers in 3 corners. Connecticut is just basic blue and white, state name and nickname, and the only graphics is a little outline of the state in the upper left corner (just like our licenses). No stickers all over it that make it look like an overseas package and no web site advertisements. Other states' plates look like a minor league baseball team outfield fence with all of the random stuff all over them.

Yeah if you didn't know any better you'd think it was a small New England liberal arts college. Talk about a school in the middle of nowhere.

Reply to Tell me about Danbury... by bastetswhiskers
I don't think there will be an issue with the airport. It's tiny and only recreational type planes use it. The Danbury Mall is right next to it, and you can see how the planes land and take off. When they land it looks like they come in over the hill between Danbury and Ridgefield, and when they take off it looks like they are heading more northerly along the state line. I don't think there would be any issue with the planes in Bethel. There's a university in Danbury, so I'd say it's pretty safe to walk around at night because lots of college kids do it every day.

Yeah I was gonna say I've never seen it either. The final installation is usually just paint that's grooved in i.e. milled lines that have the paint laid in them to increase longevity.
