Back when Connecticut was an industrial State and before the government bought out most of the dairy farms. Before the endless miles of strip malls and box stores and junk food suppliers.

Interesting that the narrator mispronounced both the name of Groton and the Thames Rivers?!

@crixxxxxxxxx : THAT'S an interesting observation. I'm always ragging on Florida because it's shaped like a limp, diseased ****, and conducts itself accordingly.  ;])

Connecticut was shaped like a home plate back then.
