What state or part of the country do you live? Connecticut
What state/country were you born? Connecticut
How large is the town/city where you live? about 110,000 people
What form of local government do you have (i.e., mayor, town council)? mayor
Is your town/city noted for anything? Some years ago, we were number 300 in the country's top 300 cities. My thought was - at least we made it into the top 300. I've also been told we were the armpit of Connecticut. Seriously, we used to be considered the brass capital of the world because of all the brass factories. They still call it 'the brass city'. Most, if not all, the factories have closed but apparently, we're sticking with the name. We are also noted for corruption. Our last mayor is now in prison for doing bad things to little girls. Another ex-mayor, that already spend like 7 years in prison for shady deals, just got arrested again for some type of mafia dealings. Also, our ex-governor, who recently spend a year in prison for accepting bribes hails from our fair city. Hey, at least we're noted for something, right?
Does your town hold any type of annual festival? They have an arts festival that completely changes character from year to year. Not sure if they are even having it this year. We also have certain clubs, churchs and ethnic groups that put stuff on. I've been going to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel's fair for as long as I can remember.
