[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The blue collar parts of NJ are closer to NYC so there is more interaction - in the city, your plumber or carpenter may be coming in from NJ but less likely so from CT. Since a lot of pop culture originates from NYC, this perception has been amplified. Then there's the Boss...who, by the way, has never held a blue collar job. [/quote] Lots of people come into NYC from CT, but I think they tend to be in white-collar professions. My guess is media, though. Bruce Springsteen, for sure, but the NJ blue collar stereotype gets used all the time. And people outside of the area aren't familiar with either state, really, but they've likely heard of Greenwich as being very wealthy. [/quote] With Connecticut, you have people like Katharine Hepburn, who was the ultimate blueblood. Also, Martha Stewart's farmhouse was in Connecticut. [/quote] Paul Newman also CT.[/quote]
