Connecticut Casualties
::finding the beauty in everyday CT life::

Location:

Connecticut, United States

About:

Casualty \Cas"u*al*ty\, n.; pl. Casualties. [F. casualit['e], LL. casualitas.] 1. That which comes without design or without being foreseen; contingency.

Welcome to the ct_casualties community. This is a community in the same vein as

urban_decay,

rural_ruin and

haunted_asylums with the one common thread being that it is specifically for places in Connecticut.

In this community, casualties are being taken to mean anything from destruction and degradation due to urbanization/rural places that have become left to develop their own beauty without disturbance...to abandoned buildings, old mental institutions, graveyards and anything of the haunted/paranormal persuasion. There is also a bit of a stretch in the meaning to include "casual" things that strike you in some way, whether it be a beautiful tree, a random stranger/tourist, or simple occurrence that most would not take the time to notice. A focus of this community is to showcase the casual occurrences of everyday life in Connecticut.

This community is dedicated to finding the beauty and mystery in the simple things about the historical and diverse state of Connecticut. All who currently live in, have lived in, go to college in, work in, have relatives/friends in, or are just plain interested in Connecticut are welcome. Negative attitudes/bashing of CT will not be tolerated. There is beauty in everything...including the mundane. :)

Even casualties need some rules:

Posts must involve things such as photographs, stories, links to sites of interest, or commentary/questions about specific places in CT. Look at the aforementioned 3 communities that

ct_casualties is based on if you are unsure about what belongs here.

Promos for other communities are not allowed unless they somehow relate to the subject matter of this community.

Please put all photographs being posted behind an lj-cut. (instructions on how to do this can be found here)

Do not complain about CT. This is not the place to vent. My general response to people who complain about being bored because there's nothing to do in Connecticut will be: "If you're bored then you're boring" ~ Harvey Danger.

Be nice to each other, c'mon people...that's a given. ;)

Those who fail to follow these simple rules will be warned/banned if I see fit. I am, after all, from CT...and will evoke the "CT attitude" if need be. Don't test me.

Ok, just kidding about the "CT attitude". :)
