People go to CT to raise their kids for the exact reason that it IS very boring. Less trouble for a kid to get into. Didn't really work out for my crew, but the it's the general idea anyway.
 
I plan on frequenting down town New London , Stamford and South Norwalk next summer. The most boring places I've lived in Ct. Are Waterbury and New Milford ( my god). I'm from the Elm City.

You can get out of New London by car, ferry, train and plane( Groton airport). And nuclear submarine. There is a reason for this.

That is a most excellent line.

I can't say its anymore boring than any other small town, but Winsted may be about as crappy as CT gets. I grew up very close to it. It's like a poor man's Willimantic.

Winsted isn't even a town. It's part of Winchester, which has always seemed bassackwards to me.

A few years back if you walked home from a pub on any given summer night, you take a side street off Bank or State St. in New London get ready to step on a flurry of hypodermic needles.

I've lived all over this fine state.

There are so many towns where this is literally nothing you could make a list of places that people have never heard of that live here.

Kent? Brooklyn? Columbia? Andover? North Stonington? Lyme? Lebanon?

Oxford. Easton/Weston. Monroe.

Willamantic isn't, either. It's part of Windham.
 
Happy to be on this list. Moving to my current hometown is the best decision I ever made for me and my kid. Hiking, kayaking, a great bike trail, great town pool and skating rink. Good town center with lots of activities. Bandshell for concerts. Crime is virtually nonexistent. I'll take it.

New Milford is boring but that's why people move there. It's cheap and open. Also not far from the NY line or Danbury

The school system is excellent. Also this year the town has Rayon Christie (with several mid major offers) arguably 1 of the top three or 4 players in the state back for his senior year. EJ Crawford who played 3 years at SHS then prepped at St. Thomas More last year is headed to Iona next year. We are loaded this year!

SHS lost to Hartford Public in the state Class LL Tournament last year and returns just about everyone. So Christie & Co. will be great.

Here is EJ 1 of the best ever at SHS:





Rayon: 2014-15 (returns 2016)

I didn't pick those two "towns" by accident. I have a master plan. Once Adams gets inserted into the starting lineup my master plan will be complete (insert diabolical laugh).

Winsted/Winchester, Willimantic/Windham, Adams starts/Championship, Andre/Bitches.....Does it make sense now?

This website also named Westport the third most redneck town in CT., they clearly have the pulse of the state.

Haven't you seen all those yachts with the Confederate flag painted on them? I heard people in Westport drink champagne from cans....
 
Is Bridgewater still the only dry (no alcohol sales) town in CT or did they finally end that? If it's still in effect, my vote is for Bridgewater.
 
The least boring cities in CT has to be a joke? I lived in Stamford for a few years in my mid 20s and while other may think its super exciting, i got pretty bored of it, but those who are from the area with tons of friends may like it a lot better.
 
They didn't count movie theaters, plays, beaches, restaurants, live music venues, arts, museums, sports venues, etc.
The island from Lord of the Flies would top their chart.
 
I've lived in Fairfield County, New Haven County, Hartford County, Tolland County and Windham County, and have spent considerable time visiting with good friends in Litchfield, Middlesex and New London counties for decades. My work brings me all around the state as well.

There are things to like about each of them, some more than others, but IMO living in a shoreline suburb of New Haven is the best combination of the factors that I value most.

Bridgewater is beautiful though. There are a ton of very wealthy people who retire there. Biggest issue is you're at least 25 minutes form the highway

I worked for a couple of weeks in Winchester before I went to OCS...it seemed kind of picturesque...that was 29 years ago though

Neither is West Simsbury,, it's just a post office in Simsbury.

Should have read where there is nothing to do.

It doesn't seem like they weighted any of their boringness categories. For instance, I think population density should be a bigger indicator of boringness than the average age.
 
Problem is, their definition of boring and mine are not the same. They seem to think that boring is the opposite of exciting. I think of it as the opposite of interesting. The things that interest me (and therefore keep me from being bored) do not require, nor even benefit from existing amid a crowd of young single people.
 
Harwinton is by itself a boring place, to narrow it down to Northwest Harwinton seems totally unnecessary.
 
As a lifelong CT resident here are my rankings of most exciting places in CT
1. New Haven
2.Milford in the summer
3.South Norwalk
4.West Hartford
5.Mystic

Honorable Mention:
Believe it or not New London is having a resurgence. Went there a couple times in the summer and bank street was very lively. Mix of bars, clubs,and live music. Live music was very diverse from rap, rock to Spanish music.

If a place is only exciting in the summer, should it really count as one of the most exciting places? I like New Haven, personally i think SoNo is pretty bland.
