TIL: our state motto is "He who transplanted sustains." It's in Latin on the flag. Since I transplanted myself from Illinois 38 years ago, and I'm still here, I guess it's true!

P.s. Congrats on the move. Sorry about the taxes.

Wife and I are here from Chicago checking out towns and houses this week. Let’s just say the taxes ain’t as bad here in CT and you get more house for the price.

I'm from the very rural part of Illinois. Enjoy your stay here! And your eventual move! (Although...Cubs fans?)

Nah, originally from near Green Bay, WI. Packer fan living in enemy territory for over a decade. Love it out here in CT so far from the last couple of trips we’ve made to visit family.

Packer fan here, too! And Cards. Grew up about 70 miles from the Wisconsin border.

I’m here from Illinois 21 years now. Only thing I really miss is the pizza. Sorry, all, Chicago has better pizza.

Edwardo's? Giordano's? I go back often enough to try something else. (My sister lives in the western suburbs.)

Home Run Inn. Gino’s East. CT pizza doesn’t do it for me, or for anyone I’ve had visiting here. It’s too bad, because I’d heard good things.
