Believe it or not, there is a scrap dealer lobby and of course they fight any attempts to do anything that might "adversely impact legitimate business"

I honestly don't know, every time I've been with or around it happening, they trailer it in and out again simply because they brought the car on the trailer and still need to get everything back.

I don't think they would have an issue there, but you need to look at everything else they would look for if we still had safety inspections, they will look for worn suspension, brakes, tires, wipers, horn, handbrake, seatbelts make sure every single bulb works, including the plate light....etc..

Extremely. They go over anything.

I knew one guy who got failed because a TPMS sensor was reporting a low battery, wasn't even non-functioning, just throwing a light for low battery.

I moved away in 2019, but for years I always thought this place was already closed.

No way in hell am I going to support a minor league team of the fucking New York Rangers.

I guess I'm a non fan too with my Sean Burke and Stu Grimson Jerseys.

I pretty much stopped watching hockey after this...just left a bad taste in my mouth...was at the last game and cried like a baby. I still casually check in on my backup teams (Pens, Sens) to see how they are doing, but as long as Bettman is running things, fuck the NHL.

The fans were not the problem. As I said in other Whalers posts, We threw a goddamn parade when they won the Addams....not a conference...the division. We lost the team because Karmonos couldn't afford his precious Red Wings, Bettman wanted his legacy to be a southern and western expansion of the NHL, and Rowland was too busy being used as a pawn by Bob Kraft to get a better deal in Foxboro to notice.

Don't forget the canal trail. In the next year or two you will be able to take it all the way to New Haven.

I find it funny the Saudi's are buying one of the most homoerotic "sports" on earth.

Yes.

>In August 1992, Hilltop's fifth location was opened at the former Valle's in Hartford, Connecticut.[16] The Hartford location closed after a little over one year in business.[17]

J's crab shack in Parkville is pretty decent.

Useless trivia = The little shape of CT on the top left means these plates were issued after the mandate to have a front plate was enacted, prior to that a front plate was optional, and the CT shape was put on there to tell cops that you were indeed issued 2 plates and thus were required to have a front plate.

Providence.

It's why there is that highway bit of Rt 6 near willimantic. It was part of it as well.

It was several cogs in motion. There was Rowland getting played by Kraft to get a better deal in Foxboro. There was Karmonos wishing he could have afforded the Red Wings and couldn't. But the biggest and most forgotten force was The NHL commissioner HATED there being a team so close to 2 major markets and wanted his legacy to be the NHLs expansion into the south.

We didn't let the whalers go. We supported them way more than their on ice performance deserved. They were taken away from us.

And westfarms, and buckland hills, and Enfield.

Pretty much anywhere in CT you had or have a Macy's was a G Fox originally.

Because the waterfront wasn't desirable property untill we started caring about what was being dumped into it.

It severely floods every spring and was literally covered in floating foamy waste until the late 80s.

Attitudes have changed towards it considerably in the last 30 years.

The park river was buried because it flooded major parts of Hartford every spring. Nothing to do with 84.

The sound at Mohegan is like listening to a 55 gallon drum of ball bearings being dropped at height onto a floor covered in loose cookie sheets.

The place sucks.

CFA is for white people too scared to go into a Popeyes.

It's a good decent "fast food but better" burger.

Their absolute garbage fries ruin it tough. Should be a criminal offence to do that to an innocent potato.

Try Plan B or Goldburgers like others have said.

Sad part is they had the inventory, logistics, supply partners and infrastructure to be the online monster Amazon is now. They even dabbled in some early online shopping ideas.

But sometime in the 90s they decided they would rather be a real estate holding company and shut down all the catalog distro.

Malls nearly never come back from 2 dead anchors. It just takes time.

If Macys or Jcp close, it will accelerate.
