Genuinely curious. What makes it better than the South? Not that I disagree.

My favorite team.....whoever is playing the hurricanes.
To another's point, I don't follow the nhl anymore. I watch college hockey instead.

Reply to A place to rent telescopes? by Mumbles76
Mass Audubon has had telescope viewing events.
The library is a good suggestion as I just thought about borrowing one from our local library.

That sucks it happened to you.
I saw someone with 'fnwypk' (or something like that) plate t-bone a parked car and take off. I called the cops and easily remembered the plate.

Why do people with vanity plates or company signs on their vehicles draw attention to themselves? It seems so foolish when their plates/signs are so memorable.

Reply to What is the closest thing you’ve had delivered out of sheer refusal to leave the house by Previous-Aspect-3171
College friend had a diet coke delivered by a pizza place. That particular pizza place had an agreement with our college dining services, so they accepted college dining hall credits. This friend would order a coke or just a cookie to his off-campus housing all the time. I'm not sure how that pizza chain made money off of it.

Foreign entity filing, I believe, is the same. Changing where you incorporate, if you have an office in Massachusetts, doesn't matter.

Reply to Solar Panels by Technical_Pay9104
Energy Sage is a good resource and is linked to by towns, the state, and fed as a good resource for exploring solar panels.
To add, I would never, ever do business with someone that knocked on my door. Maybe if I got an estimate from them and three other companies and a ton of customer reviews.
I used energy sage and a company that provided a proposal through them. Very happy with the support and work.

Yeah. I probably take the old infrastructure for granted and would miss it. The pacific northwest is beautiful though.

"Maybe" Vancouver? Why maybe?
I'd take Vancouver > boston > montreal > Toronto.

Reply to Pre-School teacher at a public school keeps disciplining out son for saying "oh my god" by new_Australis
Our pre-school teacher went full silent treatment to us when we had a friendly, respectful discussion with the administration about the teacher not addressing another student hitting our kid.
I'd be mindful of blowback to your kid in addressing this. I'm glad we addressed our issue, and we ended up moving our kid out early of that pre-school into a summer camp before kindergarten.
Depending upon the punishment/discipline, you may just want to move your kid elsewhere. I doubt the teacher will change.

Similar to the combat zone in Boston. Someone threw a brick from a window several stories up that hit the brim of my college friend's hat while he was walking down the street. Still some sketchy areas, but not like it used to be.

That sounds like my dad pointing to a building next to the highway in Hartford. He said it was a prison where bad people went. Scared the crap out of me. But I think it's actually an old insurance building.

Seriously. Someone thought they were doing something nice and got blasted for it. Next time, the person can buy whatever free coffee for others they seem fit. Show some grace and just be thankful.

Anywhere close to Hartford doesn't make sense. Having just driven back from NYC through Hartford, there's no way I would want to do that on a consistent basis. Even only a few times a month. If that frequency needed to increase, that would be very painful.
Hospitals near the New Haven area are excellent, and you could still head into NYC if needed.
Towns mentioned in Fairfield County should be the primary target.

That's how my dad became a season ticket holder. He bought them first to Yale Bowl games. Probably followed the same mantra as yours in developing his fandom.

Wasn't the company his FIL's. Kraft was talented, but I thought the money started with his wife's family.

I got paid ~$11/hr to sell harbor bars while watching a Sting concert there. Would love a few more gigs like that.
Alot of great concert memories there. Just the threat of a Guns and Roses concert was enough to shut it down. 😞

Reply to Hockey in Connecticut by poorlywrittenriffs
I went to the UConn club seats at the civic center a couple of years ago. They had a nice buffet, drinks, etc. for a reasonable price. The game was fun and it made me very nostalgic for all of the whalers games I went to.
College hockey is definitely a fun alternative.
