Dissection: 'The Top 10 Reasons People Regret Living in Connecticut'

Recently, I came across a video on YouTube titled Top 10 Reasons People Regret Living in Connecticut. The video and its content were prepared by a realtor from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, named Jerry Pinkas. I was curious to see what reasons he presented for people regretting living in Connecticut. Below are the Top 10 reasons he provided.

I hate to oversimplify everything but there really are only two reasons anyone regrets living in Connecticut and they are:

Cost - This does not need to be multiple categories like cost of living, taxes and jobs, it's one GIANT problem. It's expensive all the way across the board and it's only getting worse.

Weather - Again, I love the changing of the seasons, but this wears people down after a lifetime and eventually some people cannot take it anymore.

The rest of the "issues" in Connecticut are either manageable or problems you'll find anywhere in America.

Here are some reasons you WON'T regret living in the Nutmeg State:

Unrivaled history
Stunning architecture
The country's most underrated culinary landscape
Breathtaking nature
Proximity to New York and Boston
Very good schools
Safety

I've been dying to say this, "Poor Pinkas, poor little Pinkas!"

Take it away Pinkas.

17 Stunning Danbury Photos Along With Random Odd Facts About the City

The day I took this round of pictures (September 15 or 16th I can't remember), the light all over the city was just perfect. The sun was dancing in all the right places on the buildings, the trees and the grass. I said to hell with it, I'm publishing these photos. But what should I write in the description? I decided to pair the images with odd Danbury facts I gathered from prior articles.

Maybe this works out, maybe not at least I can say "look at this!"

In 1970, Two Men Robbed a Danbury Bank + Blew Up the Police Station

The story of the Pardue brothers, their connection to Danbury and what happened in the Hat City in February of 1970 came to us from Mike Allen. Every Tuesday Mike joins the Ethan and Lou Show on I-95 for a feature called "The Place You Live" and this week it was a local story unlike any I'd ever heard.

John Pardue was a 27-year-old man in 1970 who lived in Danbury, his brother James was 23, and living in Lusby, MD. Before the story finds its way to the Hat City, and the brothers rob the Union Savings Bank on Main Street, they had already racked up quite the list of astonishing crimes.

Prior to Danbury, they robbed banks in Lewisboro, NY, Georgetown, CT and Union, MO. They also killed their father, their grandmother, two other men who helped them pull off the robbery in Georgetown, CT and had, at minimum, a role in the death of an innocent Bridgeport man that they stole a car from. John and James Pardue were hardened criminals before their Danbury bank robbery.
