Nice bedroom community north of New Haven. Home of the Eli Whitney industrial museum, Sleeping Giant State Park (a series of hills that look like a sleeping man, sort of), Quinnipiac College, and myself. Somewhat schizophrenically divided between sprawling industrial/commercial blight, and genteel suburbia, it's less WASP than Irish/Italian strivers, Yale professors, and a good deal of professionals of all nationalities. Yawn.

A small city (although called a town by pretty much everyone here) in Connecticut.
