I found this thread fascinating and now feel more boring, as a person, than I ever have before.

Oh I also like how all our interstates just straight up cut through mountains and not 1 major highway attempts to move along the landscape, because everything here was settled by the time they built them. But yeah go down 91. It's like a cross section of every rocky mountain in central CT.

There’s like two companies that brand rentals under like 5 names each. It’s all the same for the most part and they’re all terrible. You’re better off finding a small portfolio landlord.

I said to myself that "wow for some reason I think that clumsy office building thing might be in New Haven" and then I saw the wonderful City Hall building and said "oh shit that stupid modern building thing really is in New Haven"... and...sigh. I live here and I have successfully ignored that particular modern building for years. Gotta reapply the mental cloaking device

Behind Pa's Place in Guilford they made a little sitting area/pergola and the stepping stones have big chunks of garnet in them. It's really cool looking, no idea where the rocks came from though.

The granite they used for the base of the Statue of Liberty is in Branford at the stony creek quarry. It’s just a bit of history that could be a nice touch to a collection :)

Pearce Real Estate is great (I am biased because I’m married to one though). My husband works with a lot of new Yale students and staff. If you reach out to Pearce they’ll connect you someone who can arrange tours and make sure you find the best spot
