Torrington could be described as a run down ghetto with some nice middle class neighbrhoods and a few wealthy upper class neighborhoods/ developments. The "city" of Torrington has several dumpy plazas and strip malls along with the lack of any significant nightlife coupled with hardly any restaurants ! Unless you consider McDonalds and Burger King your restaurant of choice ! The closure of several major firms has left Torrington's local econamy stagnating and several other major manufacturers and retailers are considering leaving the area. The average income is around $40,000 and the population is around 35,000 and growing. Thankfully you can meet a lot of citizens who make more than $40,000 and live the lifestyle of most Americans !

Torrington is the asshole of Litchfield County. It totally fucking blows. It’s harboring the second highest number of mentally retarded citizens in CT and is the new found home of Waterbury’s rejects. And if you’re in need of a heroin fix or whatever’s on the menu, then the South End is for you. Cumby’s is right on the corner for when you get the munchies, as well as Dunkin’ Donuts and the Crack House (Coffee House). You can just walk your suspended licensed (DUI) ass across the fucking street.

Just over half of Torrington High’s crack head population ever graduate. They drop out due to either drugs, pregnancy, or they’re just straight up fucking stupid. And OWTS isn’t much of an improvement. The students carry a self righteous, pompous attitude and think they’re the shit. Just because you’re an A+ (A= Ass Kisser) student doesn’t mean you’re any better than the rest of them.

Those folks who do earn an honest living and own homes in the nicer neighborhoods wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning because they don’t make quite enough to live in Litchfield. It burns their asses having to walk out their door only to face everything described above.

There’s no nightlife, no good restaurants, no good shopping, and no scenic views. There’s literally no reason to come here because there’s absolutely jack shit to do.

City of 35,000 in the northwest hills of Connecticut. Has an extremely good looking mayor who is 24. Has its share of raggies, but neighboring Winsted is home of the raggy. There is a severe lack of anything to do past 9 pm. There are no clubs, an assload of Dunkin Donuts and other fast food establishments. There is, however, a stop on liquor store permits because there are so damn many. The population consists of scant few whites, lots of white trash wiggers, a shitload of hispanics, and quite a few blacks that aren't Dominican. There are two high schools in town: Torrington High, and Oliver Wolcott Tech. OWTS is the better one and a better ticket outta Torrington. Half the student population may be high, but they don't have STDs at that rate. There also is not a 20 percent dropout rate at OWTS either. Torrington High is filled with the scum of the city and kids who were too dumb to get into Tech. The south side is the ghetto, the east side is actually nice, and the north and west sides are somewhere between, with west being slightly better than north, despite the fact that Torrington's only projects are located on the west side. Shopping in town is poor, limited to KMart, Walmart, and Target. For the last 8 years there has been talk of downtown revitalization, and in those 8 years NOTHING has happened.
Torrington is a dead end shithole. And despite what some may think, its no better than Winsted.

A half suburban, half ghetto city in Connecticut that has a shitty school district, with a bunch of good teachers, but the board of education is full of crack smoking hillbillies. On the good side though we have a hell of a lot of good restaurants in Torrington. And we have the Home Depot.
What the actual fuck is the future of the city of Torrington, Connecticut? Like holy shit, when I tell people I’m from Torrington, they think I’m from Wyoming, not fucking Connecticut!
