Proof

One of the most frequently asked questions I would get asked during an introduction to someone new at school is “when will you stop staring and following me?” 


just kidding


The question would be “where are you from?” or something along the lines of “what type of town do you come from?” in a way that meant they didn’t want to hear your towns history, they just want to know if your a townie or a city girl. This question, when I’m asked it - always results in a question of my own, and the answer of my question usually allows me to discern if we will truly be able to be friends or not. 
my question: “have you ever seen gilmore girls?” 
Why I ask this question is simple. My town is the exact same as stars hollow, which makes it very easy to explain the type of area I came from. AND since it is still reigning as the best show ever, I can tell if they will get along with me or not.

So, to all of you people who have doubted my word - this post is your proof!


All places listed are within 2 miles of my house, all on this bike path lined with righteous signs.
I rode my bike to take these pictures, but typically I just walk.
(map to come in future post)

My street is right off of the town green. Its almost a perfect mile around, which makes it perfect for running when it's nice out. Unfortunately, there is no gazebo.

Farm stand, grown in the farms surrounding the town.


Okay, need I say more? This inn is incredible. It looks over the town green and is a destination wedding spot to some in the summer.



The historical society runs the town more than anything else. There are a few stories I could tell about that, but I don't want to commit them to writing, where I cant take back what I could say.


On main street, there are old houses that now serve as museums (being the first settled town in CT.) There is also and antiques store (lane?) as well as a great restaurant, pizza place, coffee shop etc. 



The local church in town is also on main street, right across from the picture above. Unfortunately, this is not my church, nor does it double as a synagog, like the church on the show.


Comstock Ferre has changed hands multiple times in the past few years. It is now, and usually the location where most of the town buys their plants and seeds. This is also on main st, and right next door you will find the most outlandish house in the town, Main Street Creamery & Cafe. This shop has the best ice cream and on occasion the most controversial look.

And there you have it. If you don't know what this has to do with Gilmore Girls, rent a season and educate yourself because you are clearly severely lacking in culture.
