There was something about the 'five different Connecticuts' in today's Greenwich Time. At least we in the gold coast towns maintian the fiction of Yankee Connecticut with manicured village greens, Congregational Churches with ancient adjacent graveyards, volunteer fire companies and the like. Times are changing though, as far as I can tell, only Darien really retains the 'town as Wasp club' atmosphere the whole area had when we moved to Greenwich in the mid-1980s.

Greenfield Hill, the Fairfield neighborhood in which I live, still has the air of a New England village about it. The Congregational Church on our green is magnificent, and most of the residents seem to be somewhat reclusive, eccentric WASPs. (They are also very Republican. When I entered my zip code into one of the campaign finance sites, Bush showed up as far and away the largest recipient of funds from locals).
