southern Connecticut.

Is there a northern connecticut? The whole state is only about 60
miles from the Long Island Sound to the Mass border at it's widest
point. It is more like 45-50 from where you lived.


When I was a kid, it was a three hour drive from New Haven to the Boston
suburbs, where my grandparents lived. The only way there was the old
Merritt Parkway as far in Connecticut as it went, and then commercial
state highways from there to the outskirts of Boston. These days, of
course, it takes less time. We never went straight north into
Massachusetts because we didn't have any relatives in that part of the
state. The best way to get from New Haven to Boston back then was on the
train. Great train ride. Still is.

That is more of an east west drive than north south but I have taken
that trip, driving to Boston from DC. It was 95 then but that is not
like 95 once you get out of the Acela corridor. 95 up there is just
another road.
