Foxwoods is actually not in NS - though it's near the border.

Jonathan Edwards is stunning though.

23 VOTERS!!! Record Broken for the first Round!!!

Oh My Word!

1. Sharon has taken a comfortable lead against East Haven. East Haven was leading for a while, but Sharon has come back and overtaken the lead.
2. Andover 10-10 Prospect is a draw and both towns are fighting for life.
3. Ledyard has a 2 point lead against Berlin. Ledyard likely has it, but it's far from locked.
4. Watch Out Bridgeport and New Britain, Vernon and Willington are catching up behind you.
5. Salem 11-11 Pomfret. This keeps going back and fourth, and I hope for at least another voter to break the tie.
6. Lebanon vs Wolcott, Hampton vs Montville, and Tolland vs Stafford is extremely tight and is going back and fourth.
7. For some reason, Hartland cannot hold onto a comfortable lead against Norwich. Norwich just won't go away.
8. Columbia vs Somers, Bloomfield vs Scotland, and East Hartford vs Lisbon are tight as well.
9. Union 10-10 Killingly. This has been back and fourth for a while.

Anyways, I am hoping for at least one more voter to break tiebreakers:
Andover 10-10 Prospect
Salem 11-11 Pomfret
Union 10-10 Killingly

What do you mean by NS?

And where was your traffic court appearance a couple of years ago - Killingworth or Killingly? I always get the 2 confused. I know one is pretty nice and the other one is not so great.

Killingworth and Killingly are both great places. Killingly is just a working class rural area with a town center. Maybe some people say it's not so great, but it's really nice, just very working class and not upscale at all. Killingworth is a little more upscale compared to Killingly and probably regarded as nicer, but honestly, other than location and proximity to different areas, they really aren't even that much different. Killingly does have a town center and Danielson area which is decent but nothing to rave about.

NS is abbreviation for North Stonington. It was in response to a few comments regarding somebody voting in the North Stonington vs Hamden fixture.

Thanks for the information. I visited Killingworth once and it seemed a nice, if remote and rural, area. But I always get the two confused - Killingworth vs. Killingly.
