There's a small music venue in Hartford across from the new Plan B Burger, and Bears Barbeque. That's probably what you're looking for. All their shows are easy listening type stuff like Dark Star Orchestra. I'm sure there's some Jazz going on. Infinity Music Hall** it looks pretty happening.

My old hometown of Trumbull is 72, my current hometown of Shelton is 81, and my side hometown (because I have a lot of family there) of Milford is 99.

I would have put Milford higher. I love living in Shelton, but if I could afford it I'd be in Milford. I don't have kids, but there's great schools for people that do, there's beaches, a mall, a movies, a great downtown, and a train station that gets you directly to New York.

Shelton has a train station at Home Depot called the Shelton/Derby stop, that gets you to Bridgeport, and then you can switch to an NYC train. I'd rather have a direct train stop though.

Trumbull is very nice, and I was lucky to live in a safe place, but the taxes are horrendous, and both Shelton and Milford offer more to people of all ages. Milford more than Shelton though.

Thanks! Interesting, and I’m glad I’m not the only one wanting to know what this is about. I would have loved to have taken a video, but I was a bit too busy . . . driving. Also, from the slightly elevated portion of I-95 I was on, it really appeared to be extremely low.

I'm genuinely surprised by how many people have no idea about the 1959 husky in the center. Yes, folks, that is an actual UConn logo. Once in a blue moon you can find a shirt or sweatshirt using this logo.

That is the UConn husky. It's sometimes called the 1959 husky or "derpy husky". You even can, on rare occasion find UConn swag with that husky on it. The bookstore in Storrs Center had them a few years ago and I made sure to drive over there and buy a shirt.
