Don’t Retire in Connecticut

AOL ran a piece today about the worst places to retire. My birth state of Connecticut was included as a bad place and they had this write-up about my birth city:



Bridgeport, Conn. :
Highest Taxes In retirement, income taxes aren't going to matter much. It's the property taxes that are going to kill you. This year Connecticut ranked as having the highest taxes if you consider state, local and federal contributions. In 2003, Bridgeport, a troubled city with some lovely beachfront neighborhoods, ranked as tops in local taxes: 17.7 percent.



They did have a nice picture of Bridgeport.




Also, there was this about the Gate River Run ;





It's Official! The Gate River Run, The Florida Times-Union 5K for Charity and the adidas junior river run will all finish inside Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on the football field. Spectators will be able to set in the East Club Seats and watch live race coverage provided by WJXT TV-4. The runners will be able to see themselves finishing on the two large jumbotrons that are used by the Jaguars.
