You’re not worth the effort to further explain.

Just…wow…

Of course. That’s a horrible argument for this however.

I’m questioning that you saw someone in New Haven get pulled over for a traffic infraction. I’ve never heard of that happening. /s , but seriously… I’ve never seen it or heard of it happening. I know at one point in the 90’s the police were told not to.

It’s more the idea of constant surveillance. It’s the principle more than the act and is definitely a precedent setting / slippery slope situation.

Leisha’s is really good and fairly priced.

I don’t see the point in a quality cake for a 1yr old smash cake though. Just get something from the grocery store.

Who are you asking? I’d like to know this person.

Again, it’s a doughnut. You’ll enjoy it in the moment but you won’t eat one and think back on it years later.
I haven’t tried but plan on it soon- Brooklyn Bakery in Waterbury- often called best in CT

Fairfield County: Rise in Wilton - warm out of the oven, unique flavors and really good. Stupidly expensive - I think around $4 per doughnut.

Coffee An in Westport (right off the Merritt and not snooty Westporty. It’s a small diner type place that also has doughnuts - Very good, more traditional. Cash only though.

Uncle Leo’s Norwalk and Georgetown (corner of Redding, Ridgefield, Wilton) - better than average, made fresh daily.

Speedy Doughnuts, Norwalk. Local doughnut shop - very good but not quite up to Neil’s.

Good luck! The worst that happens is maybe you’ll need to go again.

They’re good, but nothing amazing. They’re just doughnuts. Enjoy the adventure though.

I’ve been at 10am on a Saturday and they were pretty well stocked. They also are pretty amazing at getting a line moving. It went really quickly.

Do they tend to sell out most days?

Oooh 37 affordable units.

I can’t imagine buying a Norwalk apartment for the price of a house other places. I get it you can walk to places but those places aren’t so appealing.

Pish posh. “Safe”.

In the most simplistic terms maybe. It would increase the quality of life for a lot of people, would help to bring more jobs to CT, would help future proof the area. There are a lot of intangibles beyond hey this stuff costs lots of monies.

Thank you!!! Wait, what about the “Woooo!!!”?

Is it going to be one of the ones where you all wear some group themed whatever, drink too much, talk too loud and say “wooooo!” A lot?

I just don’t know how they depend on Hartford. Employment - sure many work in Hartford, but many don’t. Pay their fair share of what? Many people work in a town or city that they don’t live in. Would this fair share apply to everyone then? That’d get messy quickly.

My comment was meant as a joke, but how could West Hartford not exist without Hartford just as any other town could exist without Hartford?

West Hartford is rich and white. Hartford is not.

That’s hilarious. I’ve hung out with him and the band a couple of times. They were seemingly all very cool. Bigger debate than is needed here and I’m sure no one wants it, but vaccines are more than do what the government wants. Anyway…

https://boingboing.net/2022/01/30/former-bosstones-singer-produced-rfk-jrs-new-anti-tax-anthem.html It’s rumored to be a major reason the bosstones broke up.

Punk has some quality musicians - Fugazi for instance. Travis Barker is another that instantly comes to mind.

Good ol anti-vax Dickie.

Ahhh. Moisture retention. Got it. I’ve had issues at least early with too much moisture, slugs and some mildew. Every year it’s been a new issue. Last year I didn’t have a garden for first time since having a yard.

Nice! Love to hear people’s small business stories.

I’ve never used straw for anything in a garden. It doesn’t seem to be a necessity.

If it’s a new spot for you, contact your local extension office - google should tell you what that is and send in some soil to be tested. You can the amend the soil as needed to set yourself up well to start.

You can start seeds but I think it’s just easier to wait and buy plants around Mother’s Day.
As someone else said, put a weed barrier down. Slice just enough to plant your plant. Space them properly. Give room to wal between them once they’re fully grown - rows about 4 ft apart should work.

Pay attention to watering needs.

You may need a fence around the garden if you have deer or rabbits or chipmunks or other things…

What kind of small businesses if you don’t mind? And how’s that working out?

Shoulds don’t really factor in

Got it - wasn’t intending to come off as jerky as it might have, more as a facts vs opinions statement. My votes are Wilton, Ridgefield, Westport and New Canaan. All have objectively great schools and great town amenities. Weston has a smaller population so has less of that. But is so close to the others it doesn’t matter. In Weston you have more woods and country feel.
