Stop-over city in CT?

[husky429]

Spent the day in Middletown today. Surprisingly nice downtown. Wide boulevard and wide sidewalks that cover many blocks on main street. Restaurants everywhere with a bunch of ethnic food. I counted around 55 restaurants.

But how many homeless fights did you count up towards Liberty St?

My wife and my mother in law stayed there last summer. They really enjoyed their two nights there. My mother in law wanted to go to Hartford to do some ancestry research. The highlight was going to an old cemetery in Wethersfield and finding the 350 year old gravestone of her great, great, great great or whatever grandfather. It’s more cool because I am from CT but my wife and her family are from Ohio. They didn’t even know their original roots in America were actually in CT until my MIL started messing around with ancestry.

Ashford motel is convenient. Right off 84. Norman Bates is the owner and seems like a nice guy.

GALLOW'S HILL​

We aren't going to sugar coat it, Gallow's is a intensely steep hill right at the beginning of the last mile of the race, almost like a cruel joke. It's been rated #8 by Runner’s World Magazine in their list of the greatest, most daunting hills in U.S. races. It's the hill that made Olympian Bill Rodgers shift to ninth gear!

Susie Ebersol, was close with her growing up.

Spent the day in Old Weathersfield today. What a cool old area. It's like a living breathing town from the 1600's. I knew nothing about it and we were kind of blown away by the old architecture. Went to Cedar Hill cemetery afterwards which was also really interesting.
