'What's Groton into you?'

At the time this postcard was printed, in 1912, Danbury was the hat-making capital of America.

“When they can hear each other over the wind and the music, they speak Connecticut: I will not Stamford this type of behavior. What’s Groton into you? What did Danbury his Hartford? New Haven can wait. Darien’t no place I’d rather I’d rather be.”


― David Levithan, in “Are We There Yet?’’
