BTW>>>>Yale is not a city, though it controls New Haven, NOT the state.
Growing up in New Haven as a townie, I detest Yale. That’s why I went to Univ of Pa…Ivy league in Philadelphia. 45 years ago there were far more kosher options in Phila than New Haven.
March 15, 2016 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm #1144194apushatayidParticipantIsn’t Hartford the capital of Ct.?
March 15, 2016 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #1144195Ex-CTLawyerParticipantApushatayid………….
In the early days of the republic..New Haven and Hartford were co-capitals of CT. The legislature split its term. BUT for almost 200 years it’s Hartford.
Much to popa’s chagrin Yale wields little influence in state politics. It’s the big businesses in lower Fairfield county and Insurance and United Technologies near Hartford that pull the strings.
Since you said Hartford:

March 16, 2016 10:23 am at 10:23 am #1144200Geordie613ParticipantMay I suggest a clarification. Many of the places posted here are not cities. The place does not have to be a city, but it HAS to be a recognised placename. E.g. ‘The north of Texas’ is not a place, it’s a geographical reference to an area. But North Dakota is a place.
CopyMachine, LOL is not a place.

March 16, 2016 11:41 pm at 11:41 pm #1144216The QueenParticipantgeordie, it may have been missed since it was part of a longer post. Try to post your place separately from your ?????.

btw, when you say Mazel tov Bubby, are you perchance referring to the late dear old Queen Mary?

No he didn’t. He responded to Derby CT, LOL doesn’t start with the letter Y. So he rightfully skipped it.

You are right about Amsterdam.

March 17, 2016 9:59 pm at 9:59 pm #1144240The QueenParticipantGolfer, Your turn is S
March 17, 2016 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm #1144241golferParticipantIt gets confusing, Queen, when posts don’t go up immediately, and then when they’re up you find 2 or more posters who followed one post.
I propose adding to the rules that you follow the first post or answer and ignore later ones.
So- AllentowN is followed by your New Orleans and my Naples is ignored.
(Even though serendipitously we both ended with the same letter – S)
March 17, 2016 10:08 pm at 10:08 pm #1144242golferParticipantOk Queen, you’re asking me to take the S? >>>>
