Reply to Traffic light at Market & Canal St by well-okay
Stamford traffic signals are the absolute worst all around, especially the ones at 95 along State Street. Way too long for no good reason, always out of sync, and they don’t adjust well to traffic conditions.

Totally agree - ours are are simple and effective, and a great color scheme.

Reply to comment by JayB2A in 'This makes my brain hurt': Connecticut used disaster aid to rebuild million-dollar homes by IndicationOver
So let’s take this one step further. Middle class homes in flood-prone areas in Houston. Poor neighborhoods in historic low-lying areas in New Orleans. Should those people get any assistance the next time their homes get destroyed? I’m genuinely asking. Because I struggle with this question myself. Should we give people vouchers to move somewhere else “safer” instead?

Reply to Places open on Christmas? by Brilliant-Theory-680
Most bagel stores should be open this morning, perhaps until noon.
I hope you can have a relaxing day and still connect with your whole family. Watch a favorite movie. Do some fun "you" stuff. Or just rest.
Merry Christmas!

Reply to comment by super_jeenyus in Moving truck getting on Merritt South by mynameisnotshamus
Storrow Drive in Boston has these and I can’t understand why the Merritt and other parkways haven’t done it - much less expensive than the various costs of frequent “accidental” entries.

Reply to Am I wrong to feel annoyed? by [deleted]
First, you’re never wrong to feel annoyed.
Second, this is where I think small business can and should make the difference to win people back from chains. If the person was the owner or a long time employee, she could have easily said “We just changed this policy so I’ll throw it in for free this time.” That both makes you feel good, identifies you as a repeat customer, and is an easy win for the restaurant that only costs a few cents. That’s a lot better than risking an irritated customer who never comes back.
Regardless not a big deal, as you’ve responded, and sounds like you had a great dinner!

Correct. And gas to drive 90+ miles around plus tolls already costs at least $20-25, never mind the lost time.

Reply to comment by Pancrat in "you got candy?" by Lyrehctoo
Wow, I’ve never seen anyone respond to a trick or treater this way. Half the kids that come up where I live are too shy to even say anything, and just reach in for one little piece. Do they get candy at your house?

Her district only very slightly leans democratic. This isn’t that shocking.

Reply to comment by zgrizz in Connecticut to decide on early voting in November referendum by jr_reddit
Weird that places like Texas and Florida, which are "Free States" according to conservatives, have offered early voting for years. But if it allows more liberals to vote in a place like CT, conservatives don't like it.

That’s because we live in a caste system, whether we like it or not. It matters who you are, not what you do.
