You know what, I noticed what looked like salt when walking yesterday, too. I didn't think too much of it, there wasn't a lot and figured it was just left over. What do you think it could have been other than salt?

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If CT is feeling the effects, that means a ton of other states besides OH are too. Politicians everywhere should be shouting from the rooftops about this, and I suspect those that won’t do so receive financial support from Norfolk Southern.

Yup, that smell. Plus I noticed some crazy white stuff on the roads all day yesterday that looked like road salt, except obviously they weren't laying down salt for 50-70 degree weather.

Of course locals in Ohio aren't getting a straight answer, I doubt we'll even get sideways glance by officials this far away.

I don't doubt you, though I'm not sure there is a "preference" more than that's just who tends to frequent the place. East Rock is diverse on paper, but not always in practice. There was a reasonable amount of diversity there the last time I went, including black women. But that was at least a decade ago.

This ^ OP, plus New Haven and ‘burbs have more housing variety than Durham/Triangle, and it’s very accessible to the City, Boston, outdoor activities in/near New Haven, the rest of CT, New England, and also upstate NY. If you’re a Dukie, not much love exists for Duke in CT.
