[UPDATE] I've just asked Bridgeport to hoist my colors!

I didn't take down anything. I filled out New Britain's own form — six fields, three weeks notice, same as every heritage organization before me.

I fully, and with utter precision, complied with the city's requirements.

New Britain took down the flags. The city looked at a 9–0 Supreme Court ruling, looked at my application, and chose to close the pole rather than fly every viewpoint equally. That was their decision, made with their lawyer, under their own letterhead.

Shurtleff gave every city in America exactly two lawful options: fly all comers, or fly none. New Britain ran a third option — fly the ones one unnamed official liked — and that option was never legal. Not before my application. Not after.

What I did was force a city to comply with the law of the land. If your favorite flag no longer flies, your quarrel is with the Mayor who chose "none" over "all." City Hall's number is public.

The Constitution doesn't guarantee your flag a pole. It guarantees your flag the same pole as mine.

I will NOT be answering comments... Want to learn more, head over to my personal sub or my Substack.

Stay hydrated everyone.

Who the hell is this crazy woman?. I went on Facebook against my better judgment to look up my landscapers page and came across some of her unhinged posts, against my better judgment I posted a comment telling her to basically back off. Now she’s threatening me. Jokes on her because I use a burner account but what the hell?

These are the guys you trust your life with rather than owning a firearm?

Most of my civilian friends shoot WAY more than the once a year cops are required to shoot to qualify.

Looks like you can stream online with more info on the website.

I'm curious to see them face to face as I'm undecided at this point

Alright. Fess up. Which one of you was it? Hahaha!

Just a reminder that Howard Gombert is being released into your community in December with no supervision. This is a serial rapist and murderer who preys on little girls and teens.

Driving in CT seems to be getting nuttier and nuttier with each passing year. There are certain intersections I’ll avoid when I can due to the chaos that always seems to ensue—whether it be blindspots, short lights, drivers uninterested in stopping, etc. Curious to hear from other CT residents whether there’s one (or two) intersections in your town that stand out as the most chaotic or dangerous!

Says solar stars on their sleeve and they were asking a lot of weird questions, about what times we go in and out of the house, what times we are both home, if we are home on the weekends, if we get packages delivered etc

Edit: they ended up parking up the street, going to the house, and then after they asked all their questions just got back in the car and left.

There was a big salary thread a couple of years back, but it'd be great to get some updated info for 2026 across the state.

Please share your job title, salary, age, location/county, and education. I'll start:

Anyone used cashheatingoil.com??

I found a price on here about $.50 less per gallon than the company I normally use. You can’t see who you’re buying from until your order is placed.
Is this legit?

Connecticut is home to some incredible products, but which one is the coolest? 

Sixteen manufacturers will go head-to-head for the title of the 2026 Coolest Thing Made in Connecticut. 

Now in its third year, the single-elimination, bracket-style challenge produced by the CBIA Foundation in partnership with CONNSTEP celebrates Connecticut’s manufacturing legacy, showcasing world-class products and the highly skilled workforce behind them.

In each round of the competition, products will compete head-to-head, with the public voting to determine which products advance. 

Online voting begins Aug. 20.  

The winner will be announced Oct. 1 at the Made in Connecticut: Manufacturing Summit at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. 

There were four to five other cars pulled over and stopped that seemed to not have been involved in this crash. It seemed there were people there to help these people.

Does anybody else feel like Stamford just lacks soul/identity. If you go in most other cities the different neighborhoods are completely different experiences with different traditions, cultures, and people. However in Stamford whether you’re in downtown, harbor point, glenbrook, or anywhere else it feels 100% the same for the most part. It really feels like a haven set up to house NYC commuters who all wish they could live in NYC. Looking to see if anybody disagrees, and why they disagree because I’d love to see it in a different light.

Hey r/Connecticut, not sure if this will apply but what the hell - I'm hosting a unique golf event this summer. It's called the Social Scramble, and instead of the usual foursomes, everyone who registers plays as one big group on one shared scorecard. Whole group tees off together, we play the best shot, and repeat for 9 holes. No "my team vs your team"... just one chaotic, low-pressure round with a bunch of people who showed up to have fun.

We (my business Happy's Indoor Golf & Random Golf Club of CT) ran a version of this back in 2024 and it was one of our favorite events we've done — figured it was time to bring it back.

The details:

• Sunday, August 2, 2026
• Goodwin Park Golf Course, full South Course (Hartford, CT)
• Check-in 4:15–4:50pm, tee off at 5
• $39/player — includes a special edition tee and a drink ticket
• Ages 21+
• Walking only (bring your own clubs, pushcart is fine, no carts allowed — course rule for twilight rounds)
• You pick your own tees for the round, so total beginners and low handicaps can both have fun without holding anyone up

We're capping it at 30 players total to keep it manageable, and we're at 12 signed up with two weeks to go, so there's room but it's not unlimited.

If you've got questions about how it actually plays out, whether it's beginner-friendly, what to bring, whatever — drop them below, happy to answer. And if you want in, you can register here: happysindoorgolf.com/our-events

Would love to get a good mix of skill levels out there — that's honestly what makes this format fun.

At the end of the first half of 2026, Connecticut’s unemployment stood at 5.2%, a full percentage point higher than the national rate. 

June marked the sixth month in a row that the state’s unemployment rate rose, according to the state Department of Labor’s mid-year jobs report.

But department officials were quick to emphasize a different statistic in the mid-year report. Connecticut set a new record for the total number of nonfarm jobs, which reached 1,726,500. And they pointed out that some long-struggling industries, including manufacturing and construction, were showing promising job growth. https://ctmirror.org/2026/07/21/economy-unemployment-workforce-jobs-ct/

We need a piercer who uses a needle (not a gun) ideally in a quiet environment (a tattoo studio would be fine). Thanks!

I've heard ct pronounce it cay man like the caymen islands. But when I was a kid most people said Kamman like command without the d. Which is correct? Any employees or ex employees on here?

So my wife and I went for our daily walk once the rain stopped…
