New London County
The diverse, heroin-infested county of southeast Connecticut. Has two Indian Casionos and some of the finest beaches/seafood. Many of the towns are working-class New England towns with Irish/Polish/Italian Catholics and some Blacks/Puerto Ricans. Cities are mainly Latino/Black but have more of an ethic-white presence than down south/out west. Rich towns include East Lyme, Old Lyme, and Mystic which are all on the coast. Cities like New London and Norwich are relatively small for cities, but still diverse. Norwich is more rundown but New London has more gangs. Pawn shops, Packies (Liquor Stores my bad!), gun shops, motels, and rundown gas stations are everywhere.
Heroin/opiates are a huge problem in the area and overdoses are at an all-time-high (end of 2017). The drugs come in to New London/Norwich from NYC/Providence and then get distributed to towns like Montville, Salem and Ledyard. From there they make their way to the rich towns. This is because rich people would rather get their drugs re-distributed from a poor Irish Catholic or Polock compared to a Puerto Rican/Haitian.
There are two Native American reservations that are home to the Pequot and Mohegan tribes respectively. The Mohegans are usually white and the Pequots are usually black. Makes no sense right?! Both groups still get free houses, cars, school, food, and more.
Lots of us have Rhode Island accents.

Blake: Christopher, would you care to go to Mohegan Sun Resort Casino in New London County and get free drinks at the slot machines?
Christopher: I’ve watched enough Shameless to know that poor Irish Catholic criminals and needle-infested streets are not my cup of tea. Neither are Italian politicians or violent, gun-toting Haitians.
