Happy Thanksgiving

Rt 66. Just west of Staeth Road but on opposite side. Where that house has nauticle crap on the front lawn.

The house with the Big Anchor, yes we're all familiar. 66 from EH to Marlborough is all going to go, won't be a tree in sight.

Way back I remember biking to "the vidocks" and jumping off into Dickinson Creek.

The viaduct. It was a decent jump, around 28 feet or so. I went there a lot in my youth. Would walk 4 miles or so down the railroad tracks with my German Shepherd and hang out there a good part of many days. Really great fun and some wildness too.

They filled it in now with great hunks of stone and chainlinked it off. It is an abomination now. .

Enjoy the Silver City Bowl!
I went through the nicknames for various CT cities, my daughter looked at me - cities have nicknames, no one she knows uses them. They don’t teach them anymore.

Bridgeport - Park City
Bristol - Clock City
Danbury - Hat City
East Hampton - Belltown
Hartford - Insurance City
Manchester - Silk City
Meriden - Silver City
New Britain - Hardware City
New Haven - Elm City
New London - Whaling City
Norwich - Rose City
Waterbury - Brass City
Willimantic - Thread City
And there are others

I thought Storrs is Hardware City
