Thoughts on the tiny blip into Connecticut?

Look, we established Southwick Jog as a part of Massachusetts fair and square during whatever the fuck happened over there.

Besides, I said it once and I will say it again, they're better off with us anyway.

Massachusetts stole Southwick Jog from you.

If you join me in stealing Seekonk from them, i'll stand with you in stealing Southwick back.

For all residents living in the Southwick Jog, we haven't forgotten you.

How laziness, fear, blunders, and fights gave Mass. towns such weird borders

Have you ever heard of the “Southwick Jog?’’ Massachusetts and Connecticut fought over this mistake for more than 160 years.

If I were elected governor of Connecticut, these are the first things I would do:

1. Demolish the I-95 and replace it with a high speed rail line running between Boston and New York

2. Order a militia to retake our land claims in Rhode Island, Delaware, Long Island, Chicago, Pennsylvania, and most importantly, Southwick Jog

3. Force everyone in Greenwich to swap houses with everyone in Willimantic

4. Convert this blog into the official blog of Connecticut

Congamond Road / Connecticut Highway 168 Looking east from Southwick, Massachusetts, into Suffield, Connecticut. The body of water is the "middle pond" of the Congamond Lakes. The borderline lays on the eastern shoreline, located just under the front of the backhoe. All of the water is in Massachusetts. The traffic signals on the left are in Connecticut. Most of Massachusetts lays due north of Connecticut. However, this image was taken from inside the Southwick Jog, a notch cut out of Connecticut's border to balance out an error made by land surveyors who accidentally gave away the seven southernmost miles of Massachusetts. This mistake, which has lived on through five centuries, still gives some property owners fits. (We don't know where exactly those property owners live, but these people must have similar problems.)

The 12 Mile Circle can give you much more detailed and entertaining information about the Southwick Jog. We're only good at clipping pictures.

We're gonna free southwick jog just you wait

What if we turn Western Massachusetts into Northern Connecticut? I feel like Hartford might be more attentive to us than Boston is

We want nothing to do with western Massachusetts. I've heard what it's like out there. You're more than welcome to come here though. Northern Connecticut is really nice despite being cow country
