29 Signs You're From Cheshire, Connecticut

Love it or hate it, we all survived growing up in the "Shire."

29 Signs You're From Cheshire, Connecticut

Some of us enjoyed growing up in this small town, everybody-knows-everybody's-business environment. Some of us couldn't wait to get the heck outta town after graduation. Either way, there is a common bond between Cheshire's residents. Here is a list of signs that you hail from one of the most boring towns in good ol' Connecticut:


1. Your first stop on your way home from any break is to get Choffee.



2. You have yelled at every person who pronounced it Che-SHIRE.

3. You’ve sat in the student section at a football game.


4. The phrase “the bubble popped” has a whole different meaning for you.





5. You sometimes forget that Cheshire Academy exists.



6. You think that we have way too many CVS/Walgreens/Rite-aids’ for one town.



7. You’ve enjoyed a cone from Sweet Claude’s here:



8. You have a favorite Dunkin Donuts in town.



9.You’ve thought it was a good idea to go to/order from Dragon Buffet.



10. And you hate yourself afterwards.



11. You’re either team Green Light or team All-Star.

12. You’ve gotten senior pictures taken by Joey Jones.



13. At the Percival Estates.



14. You have a favorite in town Italian restaurant.



15. But you know that the best pizza is a short 20 minute drive away in New Haven.



16. You know that the Girls Swimming and Diving team holds the National Record for “Most Consecutive Dual Meet Wins.”

17. And/or you probably think that the boys football team is more relevant than the swim team...



18. You have tried to explain what the “Chetto” is to all of your college friends.



19. Whenever you’re home, you complain about how boring Cheshire is.



20. Most of the people you know go/went to UCONN.



21. You've participated in one too many Bagelicious vs. Shef's debates with friends and/or family.



22. You always knew all about the latest high school party that got busted… even if you weren't even there…




23. You are no more than 5 minutes away from at least 3 apple orchards at any given time.



24. You know it’s not “buffalo chicken” it’s “buff chick.”



25. You spent your few hours of preteen parental freedom roaming around at every Fall Festival and Carnival.



26. You’ve attempted to avoid Stop and Shop fundraisers by exiting at the other side of the store… only to realize they have a table on that side too…



27. You know who this is:


28. You aren’t friends with half of the people you hung out with in high school.



29. But the few that have stuck around will be your friends for life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
