Yeah, so you are right around the corner.

I see one of them on Rock Rd pretty regularly in spring, summer, early fall.

Then I think the meeting place is on Wildwood Dr.

In CT, there still are laws on the books that allow you to drive farm equipment on the roads. He may have had his orange triangle on the back.

And it may not have been a beer in hand. I don't want to make any accusations about a citizen doing something completely legal. It might have been an energy drink. The cans look similar.

I want to be fair, and not call anyone out, or come to any conclusions about something I may know nothing about.

Did you know that the corn field on North High St is owned by the town?

What do they do with that corn every year?

We live in the High Ridge area. And regularly ride bikes around the neighborhood If we ride around 10 am on a Sunday, we will usually pass one of them. If we ride in the afternoon at around 3 - 4. Then they are all parked in front of this one house.

It is hysterical!

You have a lot of options. West Haven has the most availability, and it is the cheapest. But not the safest. There are a lot of rough spots in West Haven.

Safer options are:

East Haven, a lot of cops live here. Good mix of blue collar, white collar, and academics. East Haven is the type of place where you will see someone ride a quad right past the police station. Or you might see someone driving down the road on their lawn mower with a beer in their hand. It is a surprisingly small town for being right down the street from New Haven.

Hamden, this town is overrun with Academics, because it is just centered in the middle of so many Universities. And it is locally known as a whole town of University Professors and Researchers.

Branford is a well known place for Yale professors, researchers, and staff. Mostly white collar and academics.

And even North Haven is pretty nice and quiet. Convenient shopping.

If you do go to West Haven, make sure you are on the water.

Best of luck!

And don't be afraid to ask questions!
