I don't know about you, but I love playing tourist in my home front. I am always amazed (and embarrassed) when people come to visit with their list of "must-see-sights" and how many of them I really haven't even been to. Mark Twain House What? Monument Where?
I have lived in New England my whole life (minus my two-year stint in Utah), and lived in Connecticut for about 15 years. For years I have made the drive down I-95, crossing the Thames River to see the small black sign welcoming you to the city of Groton, announcing that you are officially in the "Submarine Capital of the World". Like any local, I never paid much attention to the sign, acknowledging that we have General Dynamics/Electric Boat, and that subs are the name of the game in this neck of the woods.
