'nice', but dull....

newtown is nice but dull. i moved here from westchester in 2006, cashed out and came to a place i thought would be nice place for my kids to grow up in, thinking it was an idyllic new england town. well, some disappointments; kids are so bored they hit mailboxes with baseball bats, over and over. my neighbor is ready to kick someone's behind! lots of drugs, heavy drugs i am still shocked over. sports has taken over as everyone's only interest, and parents are crazy to try for scholarships, beginning at young ages. i love the people who have been here a while; honest, down to earth, typical new englanders. but the people that came when i did either think they are the sh.t because they have more money than some people here, or they are running from something, feeling second rate to southern ct, or westchester. i'm very disappointed in the schools, which are just ok. the high school has a prison feeling to it. summers are pretty, but no swimming except the town pool that resembles 'caddyshack'. winters are terrible, everyone's depressed staring at sticks for half the year. even though i will lose my shirt on this house, we may go because if i have to spend one more boring year in this town, i will end up in the fairfield hills loony bin!
