Connecticut is a pretty diverse state today. The state is rightfully proud of it's Yankee heritage, but aside from a few isolated parts of Fairfield County, modern Connecticut does not much resemble the old Connecticut of charming village greens and hard-working, steady-minded, abstemious residents.

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.

There are still some places like that - Woodstock, Suffield, and Somers come to mind. Haven't been in that area since '99, though, I'd like to think things haven't changed too much.

Who are you calling abstemious? /sarcasm
