Tuttle Ave from Hamden / Cheshire through the orchards and woods to Wallingford. Same answer as it was in the mid-00's, the last time I went randomly driving around in the middle of the night.

Nowadays, if I'm driving late at night I'm coming home from out of state. Most of the fun roads I know of look best during the day and the right season.

Reply to 5 Minors Killed in New York Crash Are Related, Recently Moved to Derby: Superintendent by Jawaka99
Family member of the children has been trying to get the real story out and is being silenced by other family members. The parents were literally trafficking these children
Post by family member:
This has been the longest week. My cousins were involved ina horrific accident. Their parents pulled them out of school a few years ago, and been sending then to New Jersey and New York as unaccompanied minors to panhandle for money. This weekend. Their parents sent them to New Jersey from Connecticut to panhandle by themselves. They gave the unlicensed 16 year old the keys to a car rental, and put him and the 17 year old in charge of the smaller children and told them they can't come back until they met a certain quota. They asked to come home early but they didn't make enough money to satisfy the adults. It was around 12:20am when the car hit a boulder then a tree on the highway killing 5 out of the 6 children in the car. My family is trying to bury the story out of shame and embarrassment. They may get away with trafficking their children. The they raised over $60,000 on go fund me. They started the go fund me a few hours after they found out the kids died. They don't need the go fund me because their bodies burned in the car crash after the car caught on fire. They'll most likely hold a ceremony without a funeral home because a full funeral isn't required because the state already cremated their remains for free. Other family members are trying to keep me silent because they want a cut of the money. There's 5 other children in the home. Cps has yet to step in and do something about it.

Salisbury out near Lime Rock Park, or Killingly/Putnam or anywhere else on the I-395 Corridor.

We should be able to do both, but unfortunately, we seemingly can’t.

Why don’t we worry about non-drug users first. Why can’t I get syringes for the medicine I was prescribed, while we are setting out tables for drug abusers. Both my wife and I have had issues where we are given our medicine, but not the syringe to take the medicine.

Reply to Police enforcement with driving by rfunaro6
Fairfield is getting crazy. Regularly see people do 45-60 down 25’s. I see some cops get them, but vast majority seem to continue it daily.
Per the cops I do know, traffic enforcement is down anecdotally as it isn’t worth the trouble.

You can do both

Assuming they work like they have in other areas (which I believe they will), some possible impacts:
Health system: Fewer emergency calls & OD responses, meaning fewer people using ambulances & ER beds.
Finances: Save folks from the bills for emergency treatment (or reduce the state's burden if they're on state aid). Lack of hospitalization also cuts down on their sick time use and/or stops them from getting fired for missing work, helping their financial stability.
Personal health: Fewer ODs = more people alive, less scattered needles, fewer needle-transmitted diseases, greater access to resources to get clean.
Ethics: Regardless of your stance on drug use, someone who's using is gonna use. If these places stops some overdoses, it saves whoever would've found their body from having that trauma or discomfort burned into their brain.
​
All in all...not a bad idea to explore.

Not route 2. Any chance I get to shit on route 2 I take it. That’s the worst highway in the state if you’re goal is to stay awake behind the wheel. Zero lights, long winding turns…

Reply to comment by Kolzig33189 in Connecticut teachers, what problems are you facing with your students now? by PettyWitch
A gym teacher in my town had to resign from his coaching position because some of the players kept getting into trouble. Some of them were even arrested. How that fell on him, and not their parents is beyond me. These were high school kids, so honestly, they were.old enough to know better as well. I was an adult when this happened, and by now they would be too. I hope they at least feel bad for the outcome of their immature actions.

How has "society" offloaded onto parents? What is this "society" that is supposed to raise, discipline, and educate children in lieu of parents? If anything, its the other way around.
A lot of us in "society" are sick of the problem children and adoleacents not being raised by their parents. The juveniles stealing cars and joyriding wrecklessly on the roads, the gangs of young men riding around like @ssholes on atvs and dirtbikes, the physical violence being perpetuated by a growing number of youth...all who now face little consequence from our justice system.
If we tried to ingrain the "success sequence" and some tried and true moral virtue into youth it might go a long way. But the romantic progressives hate that.
