Where Does Southern New England Start?

[wa-loaf]

All joking aside. Southern New England is MA, CT, RI and Northern is VT, NH, ME. Not much else to discuss unless we want to keep picking on CT.

New Englanders are generally a weird bunch..with their accents and real maple syrup..drive through liquor stores, package stores, and clam chowder...I'll take New England over Jersey anyday..I do know that Connecticut is one of the most expensive and wealthiest states

as opposed to Pa where you cant buy anything less then a 1/4 barrel in a package store. You call your grinders a hoagie. and 1/3 of the population drives horse and buggies and doesnt have electricity.

but new england is strange. :lol:

You can buy a case of beer in a beer distributor..we don't have package stores..that's something Dr. Jeff talks about. You are right..there a 4 million Amish people in PA..lol..There's no perfect place..you can go to Burlington VT and it's all fruits and nuts...eating their granola..or down south where they go to Family Reunions to pick up chicks..But I always get a kick out of the Boston accents. My friend Tom who lives in Montana has a wicked strong Boston Accent. The first time I met him he asked me if I played Dots..and I was like huh..but he meant darts..lol..

Yes...anything south of Sugarbush should be considered part of Massachusettes..

never seen a drive through liquor store in New England, plenty in Ohio though. Very strange, they looked like converted car washes where you'd drive through and the walls would be lined with coolers of beer and shelves of booze and you'd tell the attendant what you wanted. I wonder if they drive up the driving under the influence rate in the state. There's apparently a significant DUI problem in that state as they had two levels of prosecution for it: .08 - .2 was considered a normal DUI, anything over a .2 was considered a Super DUI :lol:

Come on now GSS, it's not "Chow-DER" it's "Chow-DAH" And it's got to be either white or clear, none of this red chow-dah stuff uke:

i was exaggerating about the amish, obviously. I have relatives in lancaster, dead smack in amish country. its a trip seeing the dedicated horse and buggy lanes on some of the roads.

Probably just the NH State Liquor Store in the highway reststops is what GSS was referring too

Clear chowder..huh:blink: It's Chow Derr...not Chow Dah...you'd think Boston people learn learn how to pronounce a soup that it served all over..

drive through liquor stores

The Brew Through! There were a few kicking around in the day (in Maine), but I haven't seen any in a long time.

In college there was a liquor store that would deliver anything to you dorm room. Case of beer, no prob; keg, no prob; 4 bottles of tequilla, again no prob!

There are some hot Amish beezies who work at the Allentown Farmers Market..where I live is a clash between the Pennsylvania Dutch and Puerto Ricans..you can get rice and beans and ShooFly pie..on the same block..

Yup Clear Chow-dah is typically a Rhode Island thing. Just good 'ol Chow-Dah without the cream

CT(East of I-91) = suburbs of Boston

Fixed it for 'ya DHS

As an ex transplanted New Yorker, I can attest to that fact. Here in the "quiet corner" it seems we are more connected to Boston than New York. Every time I commute to work on I-84 the eastbound enterance sign is marked Boston, yet the westbound one is marked Hartford.

Our cable system has two Boston channels, yet none from New York. When people here talk of going to the "city" they mean Hartford:roll:

I guess that for someone from Caribou, Maine, Southern New England could be considered Portland, Maine.

One time at camp in Maine a kid from Presque Isle said he was going to the city and proceeded to tell me he that he didn't like it because its such a long ride to Bangor.

One time at camp

alright, who's gonna take a swing at this hanger.

 

[LonghornSkier]

alright, who's gonna take a swing at this hanger.

I am nearly positive he was serious

Okay.

I bet he lost his virginity before you did... :razz:

He's referring to the way you started "One time at camp". Anyone who's seen American Pie should remember the band geek who started every story with "This one time at band camp..", including one rather risque story, involving a flute, towards the end..
