Have lived in Connecticut for almost 24 years. Still taken aback by the 169 towns (and jurisdictions) packed into this tiny area. Last week got Ellington and Enfield mixed up resulting in a 30 min longer drive. Today just realized East Hampton, which is just north of Haddam and East Haddam, is west and south, by some way, of Hampton. Not to be confused with Hamden, nowhere near. Also, make sure you know if you are going to Plainville or Plainfield (2/3 of the state apart). #NewEngland#CT
@IcooIey I grew up in Painfield, in the village of Meriden - New Hampshire, that is. I believe both were named after those places settled earlier in Connecticut.
