CT New England? Hardly...

That is socially speaking?  We know it is historically, but socially in =
the present reality, I don't see it.  At least not in New Haven and =
Fairfield counties.  Up north and east maybe.  I know one thing, I am =
sick and tired of the so-called local CT news acting like they serve the =
whole state when all they talk about is New England.  They try to shut =
out all things NYC and tri-state.  I have written to them quite a bit on =
this as I want them to change their ways and get down with the program.

The New England thing sucks.  New England sucks.  NE is poor also.  If =
it were not for CT no one would think of NE as wealthy.  We (in the 203) =
have no connection with Boston or MA.  That is a Hartford obsession.  We =
hate Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots(I like the uniforms and I =
respect their skills though).  We are NY all the way.  I put this in a =
NE group to express this to you people so that when you roll through CT =
on your way to the city (NYC, not corny Boston), you will know that we =
are down with the city and not Boston and NE.

Everytime I see a MA person (rare in the 203), I say "oh, you're from up =
in the New England area..."  They must agree as they almost always say =
yes.  Very few say "CT is New England too."  When they do, I tell them =
where do you see it?  What is NE?  No Red Sox down here.  One guy =
replied to me like that and I told him that this is (what it is) the NY =
area.  He said, "oh, I forgot this is the NY part of New England.!"  I =
said whatever, as long as you recognize.

When one thinks of New England,  Boston comes to mind first, then MA, =
then RI and the other states.  One does no typically think CT unless =
they are not from the east coast originally.

If anyone finds this divide interesting, I will be glad to post my =
letters to the so-called CT stations.  It seems as if News12 is the only =
true CT news without the New England focus and it's proper NY,NJ and CT =
focus and our place there.  If any CT people truly feel NE, I want to =
hear it.  Now if you are from the 860, it may not be as shocking in the =
areas around RI and MA.
