In Connecticut, we have a love-hate relationship with our own state. While in one breath we talk about moving away ASAP, in the next we will defend our state to those who voice criticism. If you’re not moving out anytime soon, here are ten things to avoid to live a happier and less frustrating life in the Nutmeg State.
We all have to do it but shy away from this dreaded spot whenever you can. Use online services to renew registration, pay emissions test late fees, and cancel registrations so you don't have to spend your precious time in those long, long lines.
2. Driving on Interstate 95 through Fairfield County.
Face it, we get plowed out pretty quickly here in the Northeast. Don't fight to find a parking spot and then spend even more time in line at the supermarket. You have enough food in your freezer and pantry to make it for a day or two... you really do.
7. Putting your snow removal equipment away too early.
The percentages of mosquitos containing West Nile Virus and other diseases are on the rise in the Nutmeg State. Once the warm weather hits protect yourself from these bloodsuckers.
10. Going through the intersection of Route 17 at Main Street Extension and Route 9 in Middletown.
Considered the most dangerous intersection in Connecticut, a five-year study tallied the number of accidents at this interchange to be 654 with 23% of those crashes ending with injuries.
What other things to avoid should go on this list? We may have things and places to steer clear of in Connecticut, but there are plenty of experiences you’ll want to have. Try eating at this mac and cheese bar to send your taste buds on an incredible journey or head to this ocean-themed bowling alley for an under-the-sea adventure like none other.
