SKETCHY TOWN.
NEVER would I live here, but sometimes circumstances dictate outcomes....Sadly.
I moved 6 mos ago into a
town full of dee's dem's & doe's. Totally without any refinement or class. Its embarrassing to state where you live.
While not reported as crime ridden, EH has more than its share. The very night i moved in I had items stolen from my porch...WELCOME!!
I believe approximately ONE of every 35 vehicles has a functional muffler. Noise level incredible everywhere.To have ended up living here after working full time for 40 years makes me sad. Nice retail shopping choices are non existant & politics are nauseating. Race appears to be a major issue as does drugs, as evidenced by the weekly EH "Police Log" in the local newspaper. Also, seems as tho folks would just as soon run you over, rather than smile & wave.
After observation I've concluded that road rage seems to be inbred here in East Haven natives. I'm hoping against all odds to meet some nice folks who are familiar with the phrases Please & Thank You....you know...basic manners.
At this time I would like to remain anonymous while I work on & hope for better experiences in East Haven.
Thank you. Anne
