    Ugh, what happened? I'm asking that rhetorically, but still. Man. Watching this while sitting in my office at Foxwoods makes me want to cry

      We forgot that it was our manufacturing base that made Connecticut afluent and thought we were to good for dirty manufacturing. Now we are destitute and an empty shell of what we once were. Sitting here in Danbury "Hat City," Connecticut, where we no longer manufacture our namesake.

      Liberalism and woke. Killing the whole country.

      It sure isn’t the same place I grew up in the 1050s and 60s. I came back for a few years after an enlistment and left in 1979. Where I am now mhas changed a lot also.

    My mother spent summers in her grandmothers house (1750s), with no indoor plumbing, except there was a hand powered water pump in the kitchen.

    The Thames river is pronounced just as it's written (not "Tems" as in the UK). Conversely the City of Groton is pronounced "Gra-tun".
    It's a Connecticut thing.

    Both John Brown and Nathan Hale are in my family tree. My great-grandfather, John Lathrop, used to grow broad-leaf tobacco on his farmland in South Windsor. There aren't too many farms left nowadays. The cities are full of crime. Hartford and New Haven are dangerous. Elihu Yale is in my family tree too. I think he would have a heart attack if he were to see New Haven now.

    Ever been to downtown Waterbury?

    All statues and paintings of Nathan Hale just guess at his appearance. He never sat for a portrait and there are no known physical descriptions, so what he actually looked like is completely unknown.

    This is a really fun channel! Would it be possible to upload these videos without that time counter? It is very distracting.

    What a Great Time Capsule. American Manufacturing ! Some industries were deemed too toxic for the newly formed Clean Air, Clean Water and Soil Acts and Laws. so it was all shipped overseas to places that didn't have those laws. a lot of people lost their livelihoods some their lives. Thank Goodness we can get it all cheap from China. 🙄

    Odd that there was no mention at all of its formally most industrious city, Bridgeport. Could it be true that even in 1947, the filmaker foresaw what a toilet Bridgeport would become ? One wishes that a follow-up film could be made describing how Connecticut has become the state from which many of us have escaped . Connecticut has lost 95% of its manufacturing might and is now a crime-ridden example of progressive failure.

      I left in 1979 in my mid 20s. Things were booming then and I worked at EB right out of the service then a little later P&WA.

      @chrisaldeninalaska2960 My family stuck it out till Nov of 83. 8 breakins in the preceding 5 years was too much to handle. But what finally did it was Christmas Eve 1982, house was broken into everything just smashed, dog killed, and refrigerator defecated in. House went up for sale at 75% loss, and on the day of the closing, we moved to New Hampshire. Never going back. Ever. Most of the extended family most out within a few years to. I was born in Milford, which in the 70s was a great town, and then my parents bought a rundown Victorian house in Bridgeport and had the audacity to fix it up. That made us a target. Lesson learned.

    So according to their map, Hartford is right near the Mass border and there's no Fairfield county

      And it's the only part of the state worth living in.
