I'm gonna share with you my special paradise on earth. I told ya', despite all the libs here (and the DS that suck up all the good views), Connecticut is a beautiful place. You just have to know it intimately.
I grew up here but I lived in cities as a young woman: in Los Angeles County, and around Boston. Cities are fun to visit, but I would never live in one again. I can't even spend a full day in NYC without feeling trapped and desperate to find a patch of grass.
I travelled cross country in a car when I was 24 years old and seen some fantastic sights. There are many places in America where I could be happy, but this is home, and I need the DS to leave it.
