Isn't Dalmation90 from those parts?

No, he's from Brooklyn. That is in north-eastern CT. Stamford (home of the WWF, for those who care) is down in the "New York" area of CT. It is only 2 or 3 towns out of NY, along the shore.

Yep, I'm from the opposite corner of the state, geographically and economically!

Although I kinda figure being in the poorest part of the richest state still isn't too bad.

I always found it amusing that Bridgeport was (don't think it still is) the poorest city in CT, and one of the poorest in the country, yet it bordered the richest city (Monroe) in the richest state.

It was a few years back I heard those stats, I am pretty sure they have changed since then.
