Biggest question: Whereabouts in Texas were you?

If you were from the city:

West Hartford. Lots of stuff going on. New Haven, maybe too. Supposedly pretty neighborly ; but not my thing.

Really, I think West Hartford is probably the coolest pick - as there's a LOT of walkability in the center + always something to do there.

If you're more on the rural side - Northwest or Northeast CT are pretty good. Manchester or Vernon are decent with lots of good stuff around. Ellington / East Windsor / Bolton - rural farm-ish towns.

Dallas. Far northern suburbs. But I grew up in Dallas. We are definitely city people but like to have some space and some quiet. I love to garden.

For the love of god don’t move to northeastern CT. Yeah it’s rural and pretty but if you say you escaped Texas you’ll find yourself right back in it if you move there. It’s a cultural black hole. I’ll put in another vote for the Mystic area as well as New Haven.

Yes. I’ve definitely read that and we are not considering that area!

Oh, you the one triggered by me describing the entirety of CT?

Way to be ignorant.

I ask "where are you from" because I understand not everyone is like me.

Also compared to Texas CT is tiny. Everything is close as hell here. Op can literally live wherever they want + be pretty close to everything we have to offer. Time to drive across Houston is the time it takes to drive from one end of CT to the other.

Sounds like NH/WH is your thing then.

Btw. Texas has the Right-leaning mindless zealots. We have the left leaning version of them. Anything that doesn't align 100% with their thinking and you're a fascist.

😔

Good news is if you have a professional job you probably will avoid the majority of the ignorant types.
