On the flip side, traffic through downtown is silly and there's no place to park.

That’s the point. Cars suck. Mystic knows this.

I agree that cars suck, but I disagree that Mystic knows this. Attend any of the area’s economic development meetings and the like and you’ll discover that SECT loooooves their cars and considers it a personal affront if they have to walk more than a quarter of a mile.

Look at Coleman St. in New London. Could absolutely transform that stroad into a lovely walkable shopping district. Instead you’ve got four car dealerships dispersed among concrete graveyards, abandoned buildings, and all you can eat fast food chains. Driving down that road is worse than depressing and it’s no wonder that people think New London is a slum city.

That’s why I’ve always advocated for banning cars from Mystic just like they’re doing in Europe such as in parts of Paris and Barcelona

Plenty of places to park year round, traffic is fine in winter and easily avoidable in summer.

lol. Few sidewalks and bit much more decoration than anywhere else local.

And house prices that make them completely unobtainable. Mystic is nice for a visit but everyone but the wealthy is going to be in Pawcatuck, Groton or Westerly and just visiting Mystic.

Mystic [at least part of it] is in Groton.

Very true, all delineated by the Mystic river. We were just looking at a house in Mystic but the address and town hall are in Stonington. We looked at another house and it was in Groton.

Now we know who to blame for the off-season crowds recently, damn.

CTInsider been over exaggerating their articles like they been to every towns, states, and seen it all. Probably customers bait and switch or something. If something indeed is the best in America: how so, who the last best, what the rating base on? Otherwise CTInsider is not a creditable place to read stuff like this but to read over exaggerating opinions.

Inland Provincetown.

Pretty is certainly not a word I'd use to describe the open degeneracy on display in Mystic. Hellish perhaps.

Guessing that they saw a same sex couple holding hands in downtown, one was probably flashing ankle (the scandal!!!!) and their sad little repressed self can't handle that others can be true, while they can't.

Really sounds like they need a good orgy up in P-Town to loosen up and mellow out. That and a geography lesson...

Mystic, CT does not exactly strike me as a hotbed of degeneracy and excess, lol.....

Inland? Do you even know where the water is? Doubtful, with a comment as ignorant as that.
