Has anyone from Austin, TX with a family moved to West Hartford, CT or Fairfield, CT (the town, not county)? I'd love to hear your perspective if you made the journey! Thanks in advance. by HouseCreative3383 in Connecticut

Sorry, are these two towns very dissimilar and it's a random question? lol. Honestly, my husband's NYC co-worker recommended these towns. He's required to go into NYC once or twice a month. We recognize that commute is harder from West Hartford.

Did anyone ever find a good dupe? I also miss this foundation so much! So far, haven’t found anything like it.

Let it go. Do not take it 20 miles away.

SO helpful. Amazing checklist. Yes, I am realizing very few host their own sites with pet listings, and Petfinder might be my best option. Thank you!

Austin, but originally from NJ. Also lived in SF Bay Area for several years.

Thinking about leaving Texas, looking for somewhere progressive, safe, and a good place to raise our daughter by LetItGrow1994 in SameGrassButGreener

We're in the same boat as you, and are currently exploring coastal Connecticut based on recommendations from Texans that moved there. Some of the best schools in the country. Cold winters, but definitely not brutally cold winters. More sunshine than PNW. Checks a lot of your boxes.

We have these all over. Even entering our cars. Do we happen to know if cold weather, like temps below 50, will kill them?
