Can someone put up an early 50's video of Trumbull..

My parents bought our 1st house on Edison Rd back in 1949 grew up there through HS (Trumbull High) class of 64' which was then on Madison ave trumbull back then was very quaint and small, there were only 2 schools Center school and Edison school no HS back then

I work the games at the fair but the super wheel 🎡 gets tore down we do alot of work with that 😢

I want to move here

PePes pizza is the best,,,,,,

I found your video while researching the area for Fairfield U. Is this also a college town? Looks nice!

I've bought an outdoor shed, a hot tub, a lawn swing, lawn chairs..........at the Big E. I now live in Florida, but come up to New England every year for the Big E. So many great memories.

I was also class of ‘86

I am really enjoying your videos! It takes me back to wonderful memories. I remember taking the train from Trumbull CT to the city with my grandparents when I was a kid. I was a little scared leaving the safety of our small town into the city and seeing all those huge buildings and going through Harlem. My grandparents took us to a movie, I think it was Kelly's Heroes. Hah! When I got older and moved away, I went to NYC a lot for business. Grand Central is super amazing - too bad I never had the time to really look at it. Thank you for sharing!!

Awesome fair ❤

Great video. I'm 62 and grew up going to the Big E from Ct. It was like Disneyland for me. Mom would take us out of school midweek b/c she wasn't taking 4 kids in the weekend crowd. I do the same for mine. They know we go Rain or Shine Train is $6. Big E calories don't count if you are walking Required are: Buying my supply of OdorGone from Better Living Center and Amy's soap from the Massachusetts Building Fried Chese curds Dels Frozen Lemonade from RI building Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat on Draft Shout out to Dole Whip at the end of the Ave of States. Their First year at the fair. If you love orange pez, get the Orange Float (pineapple soft serve with Orange Fanta- YUM). Also Chocolate Moonshine Fudge- worth every penny. Their Tennessee Whiskey is a new fav besides my #1 Penuche Best new tries this year were: Dolewhip (had to bring one home for hubby) deep fried butter (not at all what it sounds like) Taco Deviled Eggs Thanks for the video, LaurieO

I grew up in New Milford, so I know Litchfield. Two important historical points: the First Congregational Church was once pastored by Lyman Beecher, father of Henry Ward Beecher ("The Most Famous Man in America") and abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Litchfield is also the town where the nation's first law school, Tapping Reeve law school was established.

That ferris wheel is not permanent--I go to events there all year and there is no Ferris wheel. it's all the for the fair. In fact, you would not recognize the wide open site when the fair is there.

Used to go up to the pinical to bird watch pretty part of the state,kent is really pretty too Macedonia Park top of the blue trail 🇺🇸🎸🌹

I love the Big E. Thanks for the great video

Another good one!

I am 81 years old and was born and raised in Middletown. I can write a history of what Middletown was like in the 40's and 50's. I go back there often and miss it very much. I have often thought of writing a legacy of growing up there but I don't know who would like to read about it. Anyway I enjoyed your video and could easily pin point where places used to be, especially main st.

i did not get my invite!! lol

It was so hot the first day this year

Re: 'gotta wash my hands' after eating something delish, or drinking a cocktail. Are the bathrooms nearby or in the area of where you purchased the item?

The Ferris Wheel is not a permanent structure - they bring it in every year (never realized it had AC haha). Side note - the Big Yellow Slide is a permanent structure and stays up year round.

Thank you for the video. We will be there next Sunday. Have fun.

What a great visit and video of you and your sister at the fair! We always wanted to go to the Big E but never got there 😔. One time the bus trip we reserved for there was cancelled to go there as we were the only ones who signed up for it. The ferris wheel was amazing and not as scary as I thought! Glad you both had a wonderful time ☺️❤️

Maple donuts and cheese curds! I am sold. 😋

French fries and vinegar mmmm

Omg those donuts and coffee . Lots of walking to burn the calories ! 🙌

Are you going to make it to Encore Casino in Boston? Well just north of it. Pretty nice

I am from Poland ;) I will visit CT this fall and your channel is amazing, thank you for all the recommendations! It really helps me a lot to create perfect road CT trip!

You are so sweet, love how you support your kid 🌻

Thank you for this video. I have so many fond memories growing up in CT - I grew up in an old colonial on White Plains Rd on corner Wesley Dr, then Leonard Place and then in Nichols on Booth Hill Rd. Loved the bunny fountain. Went to Center School (I am so sad it's gone) - my grandpa is buried in the cemetery next door. Went to Madison Jr and then Trumbull High (when they had the smoking section outside), played tennis at that park, went swimming at Tashua. I simply LOVED the old town feel, the old Trumbull Library, going down those steps for the kids area - with that smell of old books and oak. I shopped many times at Korvette's and then went to see a movie at that stand alone cinema. I cried all throughout your video. I wish I could go back in time. I live in AZ now.

It was pleasure to call Shelton home for 3/4 months. Great place big up to my road Long hill Avenue

Sadly, Middletown relied on one factory basically for its commerce. Now that that’s over for Betty years there really is no economy there except some little eateries and such. The town Doug years ago. They fix up that main street pretty well they’ve been doing that for decades. They try to get people to move there, but basically what happens is people leave there. The old neighborhoods are gone. Like a lot of American towns and cities, it was prosperous in the past. And now they’re just trying to hang on. There are towns and cities like this. Every once in a while, they’ll have an event or something. We’ll try to get interest back into the town. People say we’re doing this for the town that we’re doing this for the city. But the town of the city is not a living being where if you hold some event, and your neighbor show up and smile that doesn’t give it longevity. They just don’t understand commerce. They don’t understand Connecticut should’ve treated business as well. But they saw business as the enemy. They wanted the businesses out of Connecticut. Saw the big manufacturers left and went down south. And with them with the jobs. And a lot of the residents and the state look up on this as if they’ve achieved some thing. But what they’ve done is, they’ve helped destroy their communities and increase their taxes. It is a have to pay more taxes you have elderly people losing the homes that they paid off the mortgage on years ago. You have young people moving back in with their parents. These are typical Connecticut stories. This is what happens when you run that kind of government. Go up to Massachusetts go up to any of these northeastern states when you’re outside of the city and by the way you want to see depressed cities? Just look at New Haven look at Bridgeport. Ridge Portsmouth fallen apart since the end of World War II! You mean to tell me they couldn’t of saved Bridgeport? Well, they had some events thinking that this was going to breathe new life into Bridgeport but that’s not how it works. With a needed to do was create a huge industrial park area and knocked out a lot of those old factory buildings. But no they didn’t do that. They hate business. They hate commerce. It’s representative of the American system to them and they hate that. So they get rid of all the jobs and then the businesses that go in the jobs go and there’s no money there’s no work and people start living off the state. And that’s how Connecticut years ago ended up in such a way that more people were living off the state. then those who actually had jobs in the state and other words, the biggest employer in the state of Connecticut was the state of Connecticut. And that made them thrilled. They could control people everything. The only thing that doesn’t give you is money to run everything so they just text the people more and more. And a dirty secret is even though the casinos are tax exempt they have a deal with the casinos to pay the state millions of dollars. I hate to use the term shakedown money. But think about it. And also ask yourself how come politicians don’t have a lot of money when they going to politics but very quickly become millionaires? And of course. Everybody admires them because they have this high social standing. They live in mansions they have fancy cars well all those things are provided for them through your taxes. And they become multimillionaires and nobody questions this. And the people in Connecticut are least of all the ones to question something like that.

Stay away from Middlefield. A history of scandals crime bigotry.

Lordship is literally the "Nantucket of Bridgeport" but the Lordship residents struggle to keep their noses pointed up so high that they will miss the aroma of sewage that's Stratford.

I grew up nearby and spent many years hiking this beautiful, haunting and historic park along with ice skating across the street. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. What a relaxing video.

Ucbc bagels then a walk to the park. What a great start to a day in my opinion

We love Mohegan Sun. It's an upscale place.

I was there today. My hometown! Yeah! As kids, we sleigh rided down that tiny little hill on East Main. I ripped my jeans on the pricker bushes 🤣 You walked right past my family house that is for sale right now. My parents ate at Billies. They had a fire and then closed for a while. They used to have home cooked type meals. There is a new restaurant in Chandlers Square called the Castaways. Check it out. During the summer months I enjoy sitting on the deck on the harbor at Danfords. It was good once. Not sure about now. Under new ownership. This was a great tour. Lots of great things to buy there, too. Thanks a bunch! God bless you!
