Yes, the hub is centralized in terms of "city life". Correct, the rest is residential.
The closest city vibe we offer would be New Haven - I love that city.

I've lived in Toronto and all the NY boroughs except The Bronx, so I get what you're after.

I live in West Hartford. Hartford is a ghost town. It's eerie.

I'm sending you a DM....

Rather than commit, why not look for a roommate in Bridgeport? Find a sublet situation. Test the situation and weigh if the vibe is right for you, is your commute actually 30 minutes, etc. But I understand having the perks of living alone.

I have no issue with Bridgeport. It's all about which neighborhood is right for you.

Hilarious that you say this. I met a few stylists (separately) over the years that left SoHo and were essentially traumatized by working there.

Hi, I'm a freelancer, and I have to work in NYC and Boston. I live in West Hartford.

Since you're only going in 2 days a week, it won't be that bad. I'll happily give commuter advice for each of you if you'd like.

As for you commenting that they need different jobs, that's some solid armchair quarterback advice. Bravo.

Halloween weekend = dicey.

I highly recommend adding 30 minutes of padding for your drive in. But start your GPS an hour before you leave to see if there are issues (weekend construction has been a bitch lately).

Download Best Parking and reserve a spot. You will not find parking in that area. You do not want the headache of trying either.

I work in NYC, live in WeHa. I deal with this a lot.

Yikes. I'm a registered Dem (but that doesn't mean I'll always vote that way). BUT, please leave McCain out of this. This is a horrifically unfair comparison.

As for Stefanowski, well.... I think he should've put his campaign money to better use. Parties aside, his whole message seems hollow and vague. His ads are cringe worthy. But by far, I'm embarrassed at what he calls follower testimony.

Voiceover - "Bob Stefanowski thinks utility bills are too high, listen to this:"

Follower - "My utility bills are too high!"

I've worked on enough campaign ads (both sides) to know that this was as lazy as it gets. Honestly he wasted his money on whomever he hired to produce his ad campaign.

If you ever want to really help out, hit up your local shelters and ask specially what they need. Tampons, underwear, and basic hygiene items are never thought about. Shelters help parents of homeless children seek employment and placement and having basic necessities to keep yourself clean goes a long way. Oh! Asking about clothing as they also help dress people.

And ask in the off season. Christmas is always inundated but the start of the cold season or the dead of summer are also needy times.

There are lots of women's shelters that you'll NEVER hear about because they're kept private for the safety of the women and children in their protection. Essentially they're in hiding. So your best bet is to reach out to CCEH and ask what they need. Email: assistance@cceh.org
