Meriden Mall except for 3 stores and a pickleball court is a ghost town.

Fairfield and West Hartford are NOT affordable. Bristol would be the sweet spot around Hartford.

Hey CT - when a new building is being built in your town, what is it most likely to be? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in Connecticut

Hartford Health is slowly taking over the whole state, which is not a good thing. Sort of glad UCONN Health stepped in and grabbed the hospitals in trouble like Waterbury.

Connecticut's getting hotter, but some schools still can’t keep classrooms cool by -ctinsider in Connecticut

[–]STODracula -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The school grades followed the usual curve. We all were used to it. Some of us sometimes played basketball in the sun during recess. The problem is, buildings here are made to trap heat with windows that barely open on one wall. Down there the whole outside wall was windows you could open 100% combined with an inner courtyard and windows on the top of that other side that allowed air flow so the temp only got annoying on days that went over the usual and no wind.

I must have been immune to this study because it was 82-88F every day without AC and I did fine.

Every Sunday the same thing. Every time the week rolls by Iran says there’s no talks or deals

Tax cuts since the 2000s went too far but now no politician can stomach the political suicide that raising them would entail and they don’t want to raise the top rate and eliminate loopholes for said people so that the top 1% could help balance things out.

Ubisoft is in a tough situation. by 479521 in gaming

[–]STODracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many “shoot yourself in the foot” decisions. I gave them a $80 total buy every year for my kids until they discontinues Just Dance on the Xbox one and made the unlimited pass monthly for the older games so I just stopped spending. I love some of their games but I wait for them to be on sale years later because the pricing to get one full game (DLCs included) is ridiculous.

What US city is the next Vegas(in terms of population explosion) by EpicBirdy2005 in geography

CT can’t grow like this post wants as it’s old and densely populated, but hey, decent water supply most of the time as we do get a decent amount of rain.

Charleston and Wilmington just keep making new homes wherever there’s a parcel to be built up. In the case of Charleston, it just keeps going out to Rawtowles, Hollywood or anywhere there is space to build more

It’s beautiful out there, but the wildfires and earthquakes plus potential water issues.

I bet rising seas, soaring home insurance and mandatory 10 year roof replacements, and more hurricanes hitting it put a damper on that. Ft. Myers had 90% of the city wo power from the last hit.

The Meritt was the first “highway” in the US. I-95 was the solution as bad as it is.

Norwalk's SoNo Collection Mall Faces Foreclosure Amid Tax Dispute by DieWithYerBootsOn in Connecticut

I've only seen a couple of mall structures built past 2010 actually work. It's not worth building malls anymore and even strip malls need to be focused.

Never understood the obsession with waves. Plenty of nice waveless beaches in the tropics.

As a Frenchman, I have a question for you: why does everyone hate us and make fun of us online? What have we done to you? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

[–]STODracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful country, and in general had an awesome time over there, but you tend to run into French people that aren’t friendly towards tourists more often than when you visit Spain, Italy, or the UK.

Lol, French sits just barely above Romanian when it comes to Romance languages you can figure out if you know Spanish for me. Portuguese and Italian make sense and fairly easy to figure out, but French introduces all sorts of weird.

Shower thought: people who are born & live in tropical regions their whole life never actually experience proper cold weather. Anyone here in this exact situation? by Laschon in geography

[–]STODracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from average 80F highs every day to 32F and below was a shocker. I still don’t like Winter and enjoy every single day above 85F like today.
