Capital City:
Unlike the largely white Hartford once run by clubby Yankee businessmen everyone called the Bishops, Perez's Hartford is a city of minorities, many from Jamaica and Puerto Rico, with the largest percentage of Latinos north of Miami and east of the Mississippi. A way station for suburban-bound immigrants, Hartford has a homeownership rate of less than 25% -- the nation's second-lowest, after Newark, N.J. Thirty-one percent of its 125,000 residents live in poverty. Only Brownsville, Texas, ranks lower.

Get the Connects mug.Connecticut is a nice state. If you are the one of the idiots who thinks that it is all rich than you need to leave Fairfield County and roll down your tinted Beamer windows. Or just come to visit from another state. Hartfor id the ghetto and all of the mill towns are for working men and women and sometimes welfare takers. If your are from California your state sucks and you are paying way too much for real estate so don't say shit about CT. Watch out for those wildfires maybe you should get an IQ like as high as a person from CT and stop putting your houses in the middle of the forest without a fire break or on a cliff that is prone to mudslides. You forgot about all of the shitty cities that you have. LA's ghetto is almost as big as CT. Ct is way better than Cali anyday. Our girls have real titties they may be ugly but they are real. I grew up in CT NW corner - Go Yankees. Since I moved to Texas I miss Snow (not shoveling it), grinders, driving on the highway, raggies, package stores, and getting cocked. Texans just don't understand. The unly subs we have in CT are in New London. I wish it was illegal in everystate to talk on the cell phone while driving.
Where you from?
Connecticut.
Your a rich boy arn't you.
No, I grew up in a factory town.
damn yankee!
I kick your fucking redneck ass I got plenty of practice in CT public school ( the only place where you learn how to spell and learn how to fight)

Get the connecticut mug.The state people try to hate on or don't know the geographical location of and secretly wish they were from. Jealousy runs deep once someone finds out you're from the land of nutmeg and Franklin Giant Grinder and they aren't. Those who can, go to Connecticut. Those who settle for mundane and average stay in some god forsaken hell hole somewhere else.
person 1: hey where are you from?
person 2: Connecticut?
Person 1: I'm gonna just give up on life because im not from such a cool place.
Person 2: Don't be so hard on yourself..not all of us can come from the best state. It really must suck being you though.
