I'm just saying that NewHaven, is not as bad as he must be thinking it is. It is nowhere near as bad as a lot of other cities, that's for sure. I don't live there, and never have, but since it is the best, closest reference point on the map, I often use it as a point of location, on sites such as this. I could say Hamden, Greenwich, or Colchester, but a lot of people, have never even heard of those towns, so I just say Newhaven, or sometimes Hartford, as a reference point, merely as a big city reference. Since Ct. is so small, I very often actually have to tell people "Near NewYork City" if they ask where either Ct. or NewHaven is... Believe it or not, a lot of people in this country, or outside of it, have never even heard of Connecticut, and could not find it on a map to begin with. If I'm in L.A. and someone asks where I'm from, I just tell them NewHaven, Ct. If they are still stumped, I have to say, Near NewYork city, or even Use Yale, as a reference, because they just don't even know where I'm talking about if I don't explain it that way. So I stuck NewHaven, in the location slot, for the site, and stuck the town I grew up in 15 miles out of NewHaven, (yet, still in NewHaven county), as my location....It just makes things easier, for other people to get an idea of where I am. I've used NewEngland as a location, but some morons think I'm refering to England, the country, and they're even more confused then...Lack of education, is most peoples reason for it. Believe it or not, a lot of people were "sick that day", when they were supposed to be learning that in school....Understand now..?
