I admire New England, but I don't love it yet. It's too pretty in a way?

new england is beautiful but there are plenty of ugly shitholes here
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link
hahab yea xp
or springfield, or new bedford, or lynn, or chelsea, or holyoke, or or or or or
also bar harbor is awesome. spend as much time as possible in acadia, that whole park is utterly spectacular. wife & i hiked 3 or 4 long, full days there and barely saw any 2 trails that looked similar. and we barely made a dent in the park. such a diverse landscape. cliff trails, rocky beach trails, birch trails, pine trails, lake perimeter trails, mountain trails, dense deciduous trails. it was really amazing.
bar harbor had an amazing vegan restaurant, eden cafe, but yelp says it's closed. bummer, it was really cool and the owners were awesome people who make all kinds of cool art in the off season.

basically any urban area in southern new england
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link
Chelsea sorta grew on me when I worked there but yes to all of those listed.
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 9 June 2014 14:29 (nine years ago) link
otm. maine has some depressed shitholes too if am not mistaken.
new england's prettiness is primarily restricted to cute smaller towns and rural areas. there some exceptions, boston obviously has a few attractive neighborhoods
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link
both vermont and maines larger cities are quite nice imo, there are def some shitholes in n new england, i sit not far from one as we speak, but the hit ratio is much higher up here generally, you dont get anything like an entire state covered in vinyl siding (r.i.)

lets not even talk abt conn no one want to claim conn
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:45 (nine years ago) link
I miss the halcyon days of when mentioning Conn. made me think of all those wacky land boundaries and not horrible tragedies.

xp: Oh come on, Connecticut has... Mohegan Sun...
― On-the-spot Dicespin (DJP), Monday, 9 June 2014 14:48 (nine years ago) link
connecticut is easily one of the worst states in the world no offense anyone
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:49 (nine years ago) link
new haven can be pretty cool imo
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:52 (nine years ago) link
yale's museums are great, lots of good cheap food, great pizza
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link
oh im def gonna visit new haven as soon as i can now
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:55 (nine years ago) link
my dad now resides in new Bedford should I not visit
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 9 June 2014 14:56 (nine years ago) link
also CT has some pretty rural areas, sherman is a cute little town iirc that felt pretty similar to the berkshire towns in MA like stockbridge and great barrington. went to wedding there a few years ago
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link
omg stop trying to make connecticut happen
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link
ha, i feel like i have to justify it, if only for myself. my wife's folks live there and there is a 30% chance we will end up there too

you should totally visit New Bedford IMO
― On-the-spot Dicespin (DJP), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link
window is short but I will take that on board
if I've seen Gloucester does yr answer change? cos I've seen Gloucester twice and that was once and a bit too many tbph
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:04 (nine years ago) link
well, kind of? New Bedford is like a seedier version of Gloucester with worse restaurants and a pretty cool whaling museum
― On-the-spot Dicespin (DJP), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:05 (nine years ago) link
otm it's way seedy
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
and CT sucks but I do want to try New Haven pizza.
hmmm I feel like I could find a closer whaling museum were that all, yknow
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
tho I guess I can see why he moved, given the facts
Gloucester can be pretty seedy too though. Someone in a bar there once stole my shoes.
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:09 (nine years ago) link
I like it even though I'm still bitter about the shoe incident.
lmaoo

yeah gloucester has a nice balance between historic gloucester and being mad real, new bedford is more just mad real
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:13 (nine years ago) link
you cld always just take a day trip to the cape too
New England is a mystery to me!

If you go to conn drive the Merritt Parkway
Everything else kinda sucks imo
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah the merrit owns
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:35 (nine years ago) link
yea it's a good drive. was kind of a miracle when we started driving the merritt instead of 95 to visit my in-laws in fairfield. that stretch of 95 is one of my top 3 worst highways in the country
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link
As someone who lives within the Louisiana Purchase, parkways are such a novelty to me.
― pplains, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link
I think if you do 95 entering from NY there's a cool bridge you drive across. But yeah that's an awful stretch
