Groton’s Town Trails

November 29, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Groton’s Town Trails

I’m sure you can find this lament elsewhere on CTMQ, but I’m saying it again: Connecticut’s town structure is annoying enough, but our fake towns are even more annoying. Mystic is probably the worst example. Granted, this only matters to me and my “need” for accuracy in listing things within the 169 towns.

I’ve tried to completely ignore “Mystic” in any real sense and have put Stonington things in Stonington and Groton things in Groton… but you know future CTMQ visitors will be confused by… by reality. And that bothers the heck out of me. Especially since both real towns are pretty rad and have tons of history and beauty and cool stuff. Ah, that felt good.
