    Hey, I remember those frogs...I owned and lived in a 3-family on Jackson St. a couple of blocks up the road. I can't believe the money they spent having those things built, but the bridge is cool!:cool:

    I think it would take more than those frogs to guard the Borne Bridge in the summer, talk about back-ups with the Cape traffic!

    Hey hdsn49...
    Have you let Matt drive your car in the snow? I love your car but it would look real cool sliding around in the snow.

    Those frogs are the neatest thing ...glad they got 'em up before the bottom dropped out of everything...now we'll have 'em forever. The guy who made them does tons of neat stuff, too bad it's not auto related, except for being on a bridge.

    Hey Dave, I work in Watertown.:D At the old water treatment facility.:eek:
     
  28. I still work one day a week, sometimes two in East Windsor. Been doing that for 30 years now.
    My '36 Ford coupe came from Danbury many moons ago.
    I got my cherry popped down in Stratford when I was very young, dumb and full of c%&m if that counts. Her dad and other people told me to LEAVE though.
    I'm a resident of Massatwoshits in my real life for about 2 more years than I'm outta here.
    I guess I'm still not close to calling Connecticut "home" but I'd like to very soon.
    I think the statute of limitations will have eased up by then.
