It's a simple question that got a huge response on Reddit, "Where in CT Makes You Happy?" Many of the respondents gave serious answers which were great but there were a few jokes that I enjoyed even more.

The question was posed by a user called laxyliz and these are some of my favorite answers:

NASA_Herpetologist: "The portion of the Appalachian Trail that follows the Housatonic River for maybe 2 miles."

Regallybeagley: "The woods, just anywhere out in nature." - This dude probably owns an NFL hat like Rob Lowe

J0ltman: "My house cause my wife is there :)"

judioverde: "I also choose this guy's house." - This had me in tears when I read it.

Common-Turn-5475: "Running the shoreline and boardwalk areas in Old Saybrook, the restaurant area in the town of Chester (lunch, ice cream, brewery all in this beautiful quaint little town), and sitting on the lawn Harkness State Park with my dogs on a beautiful day (and taking them to Captain Scott’s for steamed mussels after)."

Anaetius: "Roller Magic in Waterbury." - This is funny if they are serious

crossbowman44: "Red Bridge Trail in Meriden. Especially calming when sitting on the old Meriden-Cromwell Railroad in the middle of the river."

MRV-DUB: "If I told you, it wouldn't be my happy place because of people. Sometimes I go just to get away and don't see another person for hours. It's in the Northwest area though." - I have massive respect for keeping it a secret because as we know, people are the worst.

potassiumchet19: "The Highway heading out." - Why do they keep making this person? PLEASE MOVE TO FLORIDA!

jrdineen114: "Mystic Aquarium is fun. Apple picking is generally very peaceful and there are a ton of orchards all over the state."

heathercs34: "I love the Washington Depot area. So beautiful!"

Significant_Chest401: "Yale Art Gallery (it’s free) then a stroll to Group W Bench, then happy hour at either Zinc or Ordinary then a little dinner anywhere that grabs you. Add in all the other wandering you’d like. This is a perfect day in New Haven. Visiting Edgerton Park and the East Rock trail behind the Eli Whitney Museum is a perfect bonus. Lastly, end your day with ice cream at Elena’s on Orange."

Vail87: "Bridgeport." - Seems reasonable.

Ancient_Savings_6050: "What is this "happy" you speak of?"

Connecticut's 5 Favorite NFL Stars: Not Much Love for the Locals

The NFL is a collective success but that unit is propped up by a foundation of individual stars and the league has many of them. But who is popular, where are they popular and why? For instance, I wanted to know who are the 5 most popular NFL athletes in the State of Connecticut? I found the answers but I was surprised there was not much love for the Jets, none for the Pats and zero for the Giants.
