Lived here all my life and have never heard the term sundown town so you’re good there. The closer you are to the river and highway the more lively the town is.

A Sundown Town is a town that (unofficially in today’s day and age) is a “white people only” town.

The river or highway, people in Fairfield county don’t even acknowledge the river, assuming you mean the CT river.

They don’t acknowledge it? If op wants to live in a community that isn’t in the middle of nowhere, choose something near the highways or the closer to the middle of the state if in the north

Yeah, I was thinking my initial reaction to the comment was “what river?”
