I believe Texas is one of the loophole states where you can get temporary plates online. People use it to get around CT's ridiculous DMV prices.

Hopefully this true patriot took his Texas plates and continued his hunt for pedophiles in another state. What an idiot.

If you're a Catholic in good standing, you tithe 10% of your income to the church.

That means that 10% of your income directly supports an enterprise that condones and covers up child abuse.

You have no moral ground to stand on here.

Edit- I feel for the ethical plight of good people who worship Yahweh, but at some point, the institution is no longer what it was meant to be.

Would the Christ who flipped the tables and chased out the moneylenders stand by for the abuse of the helpless?

My dad was a firefighter in Hamden for 20 years, and participated in MANY stuck hikers on and around West and East Rock parks. Just asked him and he said people had fallen off and survived, but not serious falls from the top that he knew of.

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.

In my random "I'm gonna start my own business" fantasies that go nowhere, its always a pay-by-the-hour darkroom. I don't know if it would be profitable, but it seems like there'd be a market for it.

Yeah, it's a pretty great time. The guy that puts it on goes all out with grindhouse trailers and stuff between flicks, and they do giveaways of memorabilia and stuff.

CT Cult Classics does a bi-monthly horror / cult double feature at the Strand Theater in Seymour. Recent themes have included John Carpenter Night, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Creepshow, etc

Top of Sleeping Giant's head in Hamden. Not the tower specifically, but the red (?) trail that leads up the rocks to the little clearing up there.

Deposits on people's cars after the rain all over the state today too, plus poor air quality reports from PA to NH. 15 years from now when 1200 people get cancer we'll hear about it again.

The fact that this doesn't show any air quality disturbance from a burning chrmical train derailment in Ohio is........concerning.

I know a dude whose daily hat is a leather tricorn. Its......a look.

Cherry Street in Wallingford, Cafe Nine, Stella Blues, or 3 Sheets in New Haven, 33 Golden in New London

Check out Knights of Columbus halls, American Legion posts, Masonic temples, and Elks lodges. These are purpose-built meeting halls that are empty unless the organization that owns them is holding a meeting, and can usually be rented for relatively cheap. I got my start booking shows doing local bands at the Hamden American Legion post.

The Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford

The Yale Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art (both free)

A ton of local music venues have shows most weekends for under $20

Go have a beer and throw some axes

Escape room

Barcade

If you don't mind being a little chilly, CT has more state parks than almost any other state in the country

Sorry you're hard up at the moment, OP. I lived in my car for a year, so I know your pain.

My recommendation is the 76 truck stop in Wallingford, if it's not too far. It's a safe place to park overnight, and has cheap showers that you can use for like, $1.

Also check into calling 211. I don't know what the resources are like in New Haven right now, but when I was homeless they were able to get me food and a temporary place to stay a few years ago.

Good luck. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm seriously not being sarcastic here...... have you ever seen a tattoo shop that doesn't do something for Friday the 13th around here?

Certainly not, with an attitude like that.

.........possibly.

Which is how you end up with the Iron Maiden video for Wasted Years. The band refused to "pretend to play" and instead just acted like idiots.

It's bike-able (in weather that sane people would ride bikes in), but the roads aren't what I would call "bike friendly". There aren't consistent bike lanes, and some blind corners and narrow spots where you're gonna get pretty close to traffic. Biking part of the way to a bus stop and then taking the bus that goes straight to the Building 2 entrance will be your best bet.

The Peabody is closed to be renovated and has been since the pandemic started.

Yeah, there are some gems to be found on Craigslist, but you for sure have to be ready to sift through all the scam listings to find them. Finding housing in CT right now is tough, OP. Good luck.

"Oh God no, they want to help the poors!"

That's you. That's what you sound like.

.....I'm sorry, but you just "inherited" responsibility for a 34 year old blind man, who you've never met, only have a very old picture of, and are told "looks very different now"?

How is anyone supposed to find him if no-one, including you, knows what he looks like?
