That reminds me that it's been a while since I've been to Incontro. Not a bad spot for a beer or two, just don't go for a monday night Pats game as they close the second floor before the game ends.

Love that place. Bar is beautiful, greta pool tables, but mostly we go for dinner downstairs. It has pretty much eliminated any desire to drive in to Boston for a nice dinner. For game watching, I go to BBC in Franklin (and for family dinners etc.). Actually has the best pizza in the area...buy one get one free on Tuesdays.

Folks moved to Simsbury after HS, the summer before I left for Storrs. Sister graduated Simsbury High. How is Holden 1 hour from saltwater?
 
New to the forum, how's everyone?

Born: Brooklyn, NY.
Raised: Brooklyn (0-2), Lagos, Nigeria (2-9), Baltimore, MD (west-side) (9-18)
Lived: Storrs, CT (18-22)
Current: Baltimore, MD (Since I graduated in 2012)

I'd like to say that Rudy Gay and Emeka Okafor had no influence on my college decision, and that I chose a school strictly based on academics, facilities, and finances, but that would be a complete lie. Luckily UCONN fit the first three criteria as well.

I have a place in Stowe. My favorite place on earth.
 
After sifting through many of these posts, I've come to the conclusion, as a nearly 44 year old man on a UConn board, I'm not the only one 40+! This was the main reason I never joined til recently. I thought I was too old.... LOL

Born: Stamford, CT
Raised: Middletown (until 11); Stratford (through HS)

Never expected to stay in Cheshire -- but it was a great place to raise my kids.

My uncle was Super Intendent of Cheshire public shools. At nearly 86 years old, it's a become a family issue! I don't want to talk about it, but he's suffering from Alzheimer's in recent years. He's been a great uncle & great man to family.

Convenient. I need a place to stay. Where can I pick up the keys? Thanks.

Well, not to be that guy, but you can rent it. If you ever have the desire, message me. A rental agency handles it for us and it is really popular due to the kick ass job we did building and decorating it.

BBC is good stuff too, there's one on rte1 in walpole. I'm never seen a game there, had the unfortunate luck of going for beers on karaoke night once.
