Is there a northern connecticut? The whole state is only about 60

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.

I believe your relatives are from Revere. Revere has close ties to the
North
End but it is not Boston.


My relatives on both sides of the family lived in the Boston area,
including Boston proper, Revere, Salem, and other sites within the SMSA.
I also had relatives who lived in New York City and in the Philly area.
In fact, my father's parents first lived in Elkins Park, a Philly
suburb, before they moved to Boston and then Revere. My mother's parents
lived in Boston proper their entire time in the USA. So, as usual, you
jumped to the wrong conclusions. My dad's parents moved from Philly to
Revere to manage a couple of small stores my grandfather's brother owned
in partnership with other relatives in the New Haven area. After my dad
graduated from college in Philly, he went to work for his uncle, my
grandfather's brother, as a regional manager and then as the manager of
several stores in New Jersey, including Atlantic City, where he met my
mother and got married. I was conceived in AC, but then my parents
relocated to Wallingford, CT, and then New Haven, where my dad opened a
machine shop with his brother and did work for the government during the
war. After the war, my dad opened his first boat dealership in New Haven.

And you, you don't even know who your daddy was, I'd bet. :)

Your 'hood must look like a bus parking lot. How attractive. Perhaps
Canada kept your neighbor out because he was your neighbor, and the
Canadians didn't want someone in their country who had been exposed
to your filth.

As usual, you got it backwards.

As usual, your explanation of whatever was happening sucked. If only
something...anything...you posted had even a smidge of cleverness...
One of the great mysteries here is why your buddy "Eisboch" spent so
many posts trying to convince me you were "smart." This was especially
ironic, considering where and when he went to high school, where he
was amid some of the brightest, most advantaged kids in southern
Connecticut.

What can I say?
Were you one of the brightest, most advantaged kids in South Connecticut?
I was among the brightest based on test scores, but certainly not among
the financially advantaged. I don't know that Eisboch was in either
group, but he had lots of very bright, advantaged kids at Amity Regional
High School during his time there. I knew and know more than a few of
those folks.

Based on Eisboch's success in his life, it's apparent that he's one of the bright ones. You, not so much, eh?

If your reading comprehension skills equaled the size of your snotty
"mouth" here, you'd know I was commenting on Eisboch back in the days he
attended Amity Regional. I said that specifically. I was not commenting
on his achievements in life, which obviously are substantial. I didn't
know the guy in his Amity days and, in fact, he's a few years, at least,
younger than me, and I don't know any of his contemporaries who recalled
him. I asked. I have a few friends from that era at that school. As an
aside, do you have anything to contribute here, other than the snotballs
you fling? Didn't think so.

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.

I-95 through Connecticut did not exist when I was a kid growing up
there. It is a typical interstate through the Nutmeg State. Used to have
tolls but they are gone.

Exactly!
It's in our best interests to keep those disease riddled southern boys at bay.
I don't do much importing or exporting but there must have been a way for
the dealer to get the rig over the border. Every year drivers go over to
bring back travel trailers from the factories in Indiana.


Canadian borders are only closed to USA people.
