One day I will go on a road trip and stop in Harrisburg first instead of waiting until the end when I'm exhausted.

I was wearing a West Ham kit at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, which drew the attention of an English tourist. We talked about the fifth tier because I know ball.

Actually, the first person to fly an airplane was Gustave Whitehead in the great Connecticut town of Stratford (my hometown).

Maybe Passaic is a better comparison. The Essex suburbs are more dense and livable than suburbs in Connecticut.

A planner I work for told me the planning board there once had a hearing that kept him there until 4:00 in the morning.

Really, state to county comparisons are difficult to do. County comparisons are where it's at. They're just not as colorful.

Adam Florek 🏳️‍🌈 @planningadam.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Eh, not really. It doesn't have the same kind of affluence/political culture as a lot of Connecticut towns. Maybe Plainsboro and South Brunswick. I was thinking Bergen County but that's somewhat less urban, I think) and then I couldn't troll @princetonyimby.bsky.social by comparing his area to CT.

Having lived most of my life here and having lived around Mercer County, I'm willing to categorize it.

There's a scene in this movie about the need to put housing close to jobs and a government functionary opposes it because of zoning. (The stooge is also engaged to Jean Arthur and stands in the way of romance. Bad!)
