Inside of the small state of Connecticut holds The Farmington Valley. The Farmington Valley includes Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, Canton, and Granby. You know you're from The Farmington Valley when...
1. Somehow you know everyone.
Somehow it seems like you know everyone from every town, except Granby... what's Granby?
2. Awkward Chipotle interactions.
You can be certain to see someone you know at the closest Chipotle to you. Not only them, but their mother and grandmother too.
3. Being a cool kid at the Simsbury Commons.
For some reason that prime hangout spot when you were in middle school was the Simsbury Commons. You could always find a crew of kids hanging on the benches in front of Hoyts or squared up in front of Starbucks.
4. The Angry Bull Saloon
Your home away from home on Thursday's. You can always be sure of a high school reunion when you walk through the Angry Bull's doors.
5. You find yourself driving around aimlessly at night quite often.
Everyone has those nights when you just can't seem to find anything to do.
6. "The Wall"Â in Canton was once your favorite summer spot.
Until it just kept getting more and more dangerous. Yup, nope there definitely is not a ladder hanging anymore.
7. Collinsville will always resemble Halloweentown to you.
Also you know that La Salle's is the best.
8. Rivalry during school sporting events.
School sporting events brought out the worst in people. Creating tension between the towns in the Farmington Valley like no other.
9. You have definitely hiked up Talcott Mountain.
And did you even hike it if you didn't get a picture at the top?
10. Summer tailgates at the Comcast Theatre.
You have definitely attended at least one summer tailgate at the Comcast. DMB Weekend is everyone's favorite time of the year.
11. That one time Halloween was canceled...
You still haven't forgotten when Halloween was canceled in 2011 due to Storm Alfred.
12. You always find yourself saying you want to move out of your small town.
But in the end, you know you wouldn't mind starting a family and raising your kids in the one-of-a-kind Farmington Valley.
