56. You’re a patchwork of farmland and factories,
suburbs and sprawl. You’re a quiet place, yet
your population is larger than some cities in
Connecticut. I’d say you’re pleasant, but not
inspiring. But does inspiration lurk beneath your
ordinary façade? Do you attract people who
want the quiet life? Or are people cut off from
each other by the two highways which roar
through you? I wish for more connectivity and
culture here. I have heard kids say that there’s
nothing to do. How can you become a hub for
culture, a hive of activity? —Will
Dear Wallingford
Dear Wallingford,
I have enjoyed living in your town since I moved here in
1999. I hope in the future, you will attract more racially and
ethnically diverse residents; be welcoming to all new
residents regardless of their backgrounds and cultures; be
forward-thinking in order to achieve growth and success
through innovative practices; keep and attract major
employers from all business sectors, including
construction, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, finance,
pharmaceutical, and technology; develop the younger
generation to become community leaders; continue to
recognize the value of your public library; and
Be a leader in Connecticut.
All the Best,
Julie
