Yeah and thats another thing. You're comparing rural towns to suburban towns, and rich towns to poor towns. It shouldn't have anything to do with County.

I agree. Many people in this thread are simply voting for the more affluent towns. I have been voting based on the general vibe/atmosphere of a town. And in my opinion, I can't stand the whole wealthy family oriented town vibe. Makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Anywhere there is wealth, there is more pretense, keeping up with jones, superficiality and emphasis on money. Shoot me now.

I'd be amazed if the winner isn't a wealthy town.

I am aware of that, thank you. I guess my sarcasm went over your head.

LOL. Yeah I see many people voting for wealthier towns. but I did give them permission to take advice from friends if they haven't been to all towns by the way. Yeah I basically have full support for my 3 favorite towns: Fairfield, Glastonbury, and East Lyme.

And yeah its kind of strange that I live in VA. You know I was actually waiting for someone to bring this up on one of my posts. Yeah I am from CT thats why I am on the connecticut forum a lot, I grew up here and just moved to VA 2 years after college because I could get a well paying job for my career there. I have lived in Fredericksburg for around 28 years now. Kind of Weird but Impressive.
