Ultimate Blogger #2!
The following is my latest Ultimate Blogging Challenge Entry. Enjoy!
Meriden is known as Connecticut’s Silver City. This is because our founders thought that we weren’t quite good enough to be considered Connecticut’s Gold City. This feeling of ‘second best’ is really what sets Meriden apart from other New England cities.
Meriden is halfway between Hartford and New Haven: The Perfect Location! In the words of Robert DeNiro, who filmed JACKNIFE in our lil’ city:
I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, ‘There’s no place like New York. It’s the most exciting city in the world now. That’s the way it is. That’s it.
And Meriden, my friends, is only 2 hours from New York! Imagine that!
Although I’ve only lived here for a year, it feels like forever. Because I’m so new to Meriden, I decided to take this Ultimate Blogging Challenge to the streets. I went to all my favorite hot spots and created the Meriden Monopoly Game Board below. Click on the individual properties to see the a photograph of the location with some a brief description that will hopefully help you get a feel for my city! Use your browser’s back button to return to the Monopoly Board.
I love Meriden, you will too.
