You sure you're within an hour of NYC and Boston? Or do you have a 737 in your driveway ... Mr. Travolta ... :p

LOL.

Quote from the movie Nebraska.

"I can drive to Lincoln in an hour"

"But it's two hundred miles from here"

"Okay an hour and a half"

Did you really just come here bragging about trolling on the internet? News flash: no one cares. I stopped trolling message boards when I was about 17.

There was no internet when I was 17. Thank God.

Too bad. You miss out on some nice areas. a low cost of living, and crappy winters
Expand ...

I grew up in the KC area and the winters in CT are much worse generally. Not sure if Ames could be much different than Kansas City in the winter. After having lived in CT for over 25 years, however, I now realize that the whole middle of the country is all the same, out there somewhere.

That is a big appeal (NYC/Boston/RI beaches/VT skiing), but not the only one. Southern CT has a lot going on, and New Haven has been moving up my list of cities to spend time in.

I'm from Litchfield County. Still my favorite place on earth. But when I met Joe D'Ambrosio last year he told me that really wasn't CT.

Disagree. There's crappy places to live in CT and really nice places too. I loved growing up in southern CT.

Then I wised up after college and moved to Boston, but still ;)

Seriously. Grew up in Waterbury, went to college in Hartford...live in Boston. Took way too long to live somewhere where there was something to do off campus.

Hartford is perhaps not as terrible as some are making it out to be (loved some of the bars), although it isn't as good as New Haven... and the reason to live in Hartford over New Haven, as @MattMang23 said, is that it provides an easy commute to Boston and NYC.

I will take Jayhawk fans over Mizzou fans. Living in KC I get exposed to both.
Expand ...

As a Jayhawk, I appreciate the sentiment. Mizzou fans are the worst.

The guy from Ames doesn't like Lawrence? Lawrence is a fantastic college town. I had law school classmates at KU who went to ISU, and while they remained Cyclone fans, none of them would pick Ames over Lawrence. I sure as hell wouldn't pick Storrs over Lawrence, and it isn't close.

I spent each of the past 5 Saturdays in Lawrence racing bikes out at Clinton Lake. It's about 45 minutes from where I live in KC. I was surprised at the negative comments about Lawrence. I love Mass Street. You just have to put blinkers on and pretend that Tonganoxie, Desoto and Topeka don't exist.

Honestly, I wish Storrs could be more like Lawrence.

All I know about Iowa is they are known for the Iowan Potatoes. Second best to Maine Potatoes.

I think their license plates say something about their potatoes being famous

Like I said, ISU fans hate hok fans and most things Jayhawk. :) And never said I don't like Lawrence. Never been there. I did say most ISU fans won't have anything good to say about Lawrence. Has nothing to do withthe town. ISU fans just don't like KU.

Iowa is not Nebraska...yikes. Nor is it the crap hole of ann arbor. You see this is what Iowan's talk about. Easterners thinking they can group the whole middle of the country into the same group.
Expand ...
Lol the crap hole that is Ann Arbor. Now you lost all credibility.
 
sdhusky said:
Yeah. Living in San Diego, I totally get why someone would like Iowa or Hartford.

People mistakenly believe its sunny and blue skies every day here. It's not.

We're lucky to get 300 days a year like that.

That is what i miss most about Colorado. 300 days of sun

A couple weeks ago I drove the family down to Conn., and we listened to a young adult book on tape called "The Witch of Blackbird Pond." It was cool because it was a 7 hour tape and we were almost finished when we decided to pull over and see Old Wethersfield on the way down to New Haven. Looked very nice. Anyone live there? Stopped for a soda at the pizza shop, but decided to make straight for Pepe's in New Haven (please, no pizza tangent!!!). Conn. really is for small town living.
Expand ...


I live right in Old Wethersfield. The history is cool but it's not a terribly thrilling place. I used to live in the southern portion of the state and probably would prefer living down that way again if my job wasn't in Hartford. New Haven > Hartford on almost every level.

Funny, I never met any Kansas fans that hated Iowa State. They didn't really even register behind Mizzou, KState, Duke, Nebraska and OU.

As for me, I'm a Hoiberg fan. Loved his game in college and really like what he's done at his alma mater. If UConn loses, I hope ISU goes to the final four.

It's a jealousy thing :) I don't mind KU but there are a lot of butt hurt ISU fans that hate KU. :)

I can be to Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Kansas City, St Loius Madison, Omaha in less than 5 hours? What's your point? I can fly round trip to Denver for $160, Pheonix for $200 and San Antonio for $300. And get there their quicker than you can get to Montreal. What's your point?
Expand ...

So one of your selling points is that you can get to Omaha, Minneapolis or Milwaukee in five hours?

Our biggest selling point is that you can't get to Omaha, Minneapolis or Milwaukee in five hours!

Ummm. Minneapolis is pretty cool.

Am I the only one that prefers the northern part of the state in comparison to lower New Haven/Fairfield county?

Reading comprehension is hard. That wasn't a selling point. It was a "so what" point. Milwaukee is pretty damn fun. Guessing you have never been to the Old Market in Omaha....pretty fun. All large cities. All with things to do. Nothing is like New York, I get that but if you can't have fun in Omaha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City well then that is your fault. But then, I am 42 years old and staying up until 4AM doesn't interest me much anymore.

Like someone else stated, every place has their good and their bad.
 
It was a joke, evidently Cyclone Fanatic isn't the only site that is overly sensitive.

Tazclone, you're 42? Bravo, I have nearly a dozen years on you.

Funny you should mention that. I live around the corner from Old Wethersfield. You should try Aroma Bistro next time you're in the area. You just missed it. It's nextdoor to Village Pizza.

I saw it!
