You might have never heard of Trumbull, CT. It is a small town nestled in Fairfield County (no not everyone in the town is rich) and is the perfect town to grow up in. Here are some signs you grew up there.
1. Late-Night Food Runs
After hanging out with your friends all day, there is always that late night craving for anything you can think of. From Galaxy Diner to Merritt Canteen, the possibilities at both places are endless
2. Rent-a-Senior Day was the best day of the school year
Whether you were an underclassman or a senior, it was always the best to see the seniors dressed up as crazy characters. One of the best parts was the people who wore costumes that did crazy things such as being construction workers or traffic cones.
3. $6 Tuesdays at BowTie Cinemas
Movies were always great on Tuesdays because they were so cheap. Gathering a group of your friends to hang out and watch the newest movie was always a highlight during breaks or Tuesdays where you didn't have school.
4. The Trumbull High vs St. Joseph's Thanksgiving Football Game
The rivalry between these two schools always made for a great game. Sitting with your friends on the bleachers cheering on your favorite team will always be one of the best memories you have.
5. Going to Bruegger's and Starbucks before school
Whether you had late arrival or just got up early enough to get some breakfast, you would see the whole town waiting to get their bagels and coffee to prepare for the long school or work day.
6. Going to Dracula Drive late at night
The old tale about the melonheads fascinated everyone. Going down that dark, dirt road at night evoked fear in all of us, just waiting for the melonheads to pop out.
7. Going to the Rinks in Middle School
The Rinks were a hot hangout spot during those middle school years. Ice skating with your friends and your middle school crush were always the highlight of those years.
8. Having Mr. Rodgers as a substitute
Mr. Rodgers is arguably the best substitute at Trumbull High. He was so cool, knew many different languages, and made the work left behind for us fun to do.
9. Wanting to get out of Trumbull but always missing it
No matter how far away you go for college, nothing will ever beat coming home from breaks and hanging out in the town you so desperately wanted to get out of.
