Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4314655, member: 93"] The chip on the shoulder in this thread is not [I]towards[/I] the people in Fairfield County; it seems to be coming [I]from[/I] them. I'm from Fairfield County, but Bridgeport/Stratford--i.e., not the part many who live there like to acknowledge. I went to high school in Fairfield, where the vast majority came from the wealthier zip codes. I still have friends from there and all over the state. I would not paint the county with the broad brush many here do. I have never heard anyone refer to any part of Connecticut as "upstate." Seems pretty silly to me when almost anywhere in the entire state can be reached within an hour. The upstate New York thing has been a running joke forever. My wife is from Utica and she scoffs when people refer to Westchester as "upstate." But they don't even consider Albany upstate. [/QUOTE]
