20 Fascinating Far-Out Fun Facts About Connecticut
I'm pretty sure a large portion of the population in this great country thinks of Connecticut as either uptight, wealthy, boring, arrogant, or all of the above. I recently wrote an article titled "Connecticut Ranks as One of the Most Hated States in the Country." Read my article, and you'll find out why.
I've had the pleasure of living in this beautiful state for 45 years, and truth be told, all of us are not uppity tight-assed individuals, as several may assume. Sure, we've got our rednecks, maybe not as many as Arkansas and Mississippi, but we have our fair share. What we do have are some quirky, unusual, and fascinating fun facts that I feel you might find quite amusing.
