Im assuming you're working at one of the hospitals for a year contract. If you find a three family rental in the upper west main area or lowered bunker hill there won't be much trouble, just stay out of downtown and even then people won't bother you, theres just more bullshit. You don't want to be biking across the city to work though, try to stay as close as possible. It's a very hilly city.

I went in pretty blind but I had heard excellent things about it. If a true character study isn't your cup of tea, you might not like it. I didn't think it would be able to grip me because it's an adapted play. My god, was it an absolute masterpiece. Everyone rightfully talks up Brendan Fraser's performance but literally everyone in this film is firing on all cylinders. Sadie Sink is fucking amazing.

I was for that reason, now it's because the state pockets the unclaimed deposits. If they raise it to .20 they have to assume it's not high enough to account for a a reduction in state revenue. Will 400% more cans get returned if they're worth .20 as opposed to .05? I'm going to guess no because it's still too inconvenient to redeem them.

It kind of pisses me off that any place that's allowed to charge a deposit can just scan it and add it to the price, but it costs me my time and effort to return it. I'd propose that any place that can charge a deposit should be required to refund it just as fast so long as it's returned in the same manner i.e. sorted and packed into the case. If I buy a case of bud light and return the sorted empties in the same box, they should be able to credit me as fast as they charged me. Mom and Pop liquor stores do it easily, but Costco makes me stand outside and shovel them in by hand. They should have someone there just scanning off credit or giving cash.

That was about what we were paying in lithchfield county 8 years ago. It went 40 - 50 - 60 stayed, there for a couple years and this year I was like "80 + $10 to bail it. Fuck." Still worth it. Go with a couple families on a nice day and it's like tailgating at a football game. Spend a couple hours and let the kids run around.

I've always liked cutting our own. Holy shit they were expensive this year. It was 80 bucks plus 10 to bail it. They were 60 last year and bailed it for free. Still worth it with kids. I used to love doing it and my kids do too. Although I'm looking in the back yard and we have some nice looking pines coming up for the next couple years.
