lake compounce: I mean, it's not REALLY boring. You can have fun at the mall, go ice skating, go to the movies, go to fairs, go to the outlets, go to the pools in the summer, go out to eat, and go to a couple good clubs in downtown Middletown and downtown Hartford. There's Lake Compounce, which is a fun amusement park. Also there's the awesome haunted graveyard in October. We're near Six Flags as well. There's also the Manhattan is right around the corner, too. Brownstone park is in connecticut too. You can zip line there. Also the farmington river has places wear you can go tubing. It's not that bad.|||I love your question! I am from Connecticut, but am currently in Maryland for school. It is kind of true that Connecticut is boring, but I think that is what makes it so great. Yes, there is Lake Compounce, river tubing, and malls. However, those things get kind of repetative and dull. I think that the "boringness" makes CT so great!|||It's not that boring, but it's not the most exciting place to live. It's because everyone fantasizes (sp?) about living in places like LA that it makes CT seem boring.|||Boring people will find everything boring. interesting people will find things fascinating in a desert
