I dont read TOTV to take tests or answer fantasy questions. You know what you know. Is this the only thing you have to talk about?

NY sucks because you can transport but you can’t spend the night. Straight thru is fine you just can stay the night.

My 30 something young son and girlfriend visited about a year or two ago and we were trying to find a restaurant to eat at at 9:00 p.m. . It certainly is lights out.

Spending the summer in New England, isn't the "reverse snowbird thing".... it's the snowbird thing.

That's true of most non constitutional carry states you aren't licensed in. It's for sure true of Massachusetts.

A good lawyer would advise you to not even stop for gas if you can avoid it in those states.

When they came to visit they saw the true Villages. 98% of the residents are lights out by 9:30 PM. Hardly a soul is out past 10PM.
I'm one of that 2%...not that I stay up late, I don't. But sometimes, after the show in SS, it's nice to hang around, enjoy a cocktail, food, whatever then drive over the bridge with no one around, let the cool air run thru your hair (I'm a lady- so there is still some hair up there) , feel the chill as you go thru that park like area and then drive home thru historic area , sometimes taking the long way. It's very pleasant and just makes you feel....young.
