I live in Hartford and it is 100 miles but only 30 from NYC

mostly because... its in CT which is in New England

Irene blew it into Connecticut??

Because it's in CT, which is part of NE.

Also, for what it's worth, NYC might as well be 100 miles away from Stamford. Between traffic or mass transit, it's never easy to get in and out of NYC (around a session) from Stamford in a reasonable amount of time.

I agree. Stamford is more part of New York than it is Hartford. Hartford is like a foreign country to Stamford. You need a passport to get into Hartford. Technically it is part of New England and there are alot of Red Sox fans here considering the Yankees nearby presents.

there's no difference...except the taxes.  That's why I'm moving back to Stamford.

....you've just taught me something lol.
