It's also called emissions testing in California, "getting your car smogged" is just a turn of phrase.

Harbor Point is perfectly safe at all times of the day.

City needs to mandate electric leaf blowers. Better for the environment, less noisy.

Tap water through a Pūr filter - Stamford has some great tasting water!

End of an era. 😢

Hooray, nice to see some moderation and rules!

Northeast Medical Group on Long Ridge is great, Dr Ehrlich is fantastic.

Bulls Head Pet Hospital is A+

Dr Cimato at Harbor Point Dental is a great dentist.

Indeed. If it wasn't for a Discord server that a lot of my friends use, it would be even harder to deal with.

Not just you. My husband and I moved here in 2016, and haven't made any friends. I have a lot of what they call weak social connections via walking my dog, but none of those have actually turned into friendships. Everyone is either way younger than us, or just established in their own friend groups. Can get pretty lonely sometimes.

Second Dr. Nolan, he's been seeing my dachshund since he was a puppy. Great veterinarian!

Yale New Haven has a walk-in orthopedic center on Long ridge. I've only gone to the hand surgeon and PT associated with them, but I've never had a bad experience there. I also have Anthem.

Sadly, DD won the New England battle in the coffee shop wars. The closest Timmies is an single one in NYC last I checked.

Looks like you've got a lot of recs, but I will add that Dr. Cimato at Harbor Point Dental is great as well!

Lived here since 2016, never had an issue.

You can also go up John to get to Dock, the left turn onto Canal is a lot quicker there.

Same reason the one at Henry and Pacific is like it is, they are tuned to favor the streets with more traffic.

No, they are owned by another company. BLT sold all the Y&T buildings around 2018.

That's completely normal in a low rise podium building. They build a concrete podium for the 5 storeys to sit on.

The main reason that there aren't very tall wooden buildings is because of all the cities burning down in there 19th century. With modern fire suppression technology, wooden buildings are much safer.

An 8 story apartment building is going in there, along with the offices of RMS, the company building it.

But I have to pay a toll to go to NJ!

There's a wine + painting place down next to Fortina - Pinot's Palette!

There's a comedy club opening in the old Plan B space next to the mall!

California native, you speak the truth. In N Out has always been overrated.

Thank you, now I understand the thread title!

This isn't just a Connecticut thing, I've seen it everywhere I've driven.
