A bunch of willi heads playing cards, getting
drunk, wondering where we went wrong in
life to still be living in willimantic. A place to play cards, drink, fight, and get the full willimantic experience without the heroin.
Dress Code: naked if you'd like

The Willimantic Area Bus makes 4 daily trips to Foxwoods Casino. The first one at 10:00 a.m. the last one at 12:30 a.m. The cost is only $2.00.
If you have to get around in town it is best to have your own car. The public transportation isn't that convienient.

Locally owned athletic gear and clothing shop. Great shoe selection. Buy, rent, fix up skiis and snowboards and boots. They do uniforms and specialty items as well. Must visit when in Willimantic!
What to buy: Anything athletic. From rollerblades to waterbottles.
What to pay: depends upon the item, generally very reasonable

The only thing thats really dangerous in Willimantic, would be some of the roads, they're wicked messed up.. If you like rollercoasters and rocky things.. then its for you.. if not.. make sure u got a barf bag. and u've got good shocks on your car.. If you're on foot through here.. Just watch out for the usual, poison ivy, skunks, homeless crackheads... and prostitutes.. I've lived here 15 years.. its not a bad place, all though it is.. When you get here, you'll understand...

Luggage and bags: Okay, to be truthful, You're baggage, should be the type that has heavy duty locks. Coz some of the people here can be rightous assholes. So to be on the safe side, heavy duty baggage with heavy duty locks.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The weather here isnt that bad.. In the spring, it gets beautiful here. So for like a spring trip, I'd say, pack light pants and shirts. Maybe a windbreaker.. or a sweater.. Sunglasses, coz it does get sunny here.. When it rains, you'd be good with an umbrella.. it never really rains hard here.. unless it's stormin.. For summer.. Tank Tops, Light Shirts, and Shorts.. Coz it does get hot. and it's also windy.. Winter, it depends on the summer, sometimes, you'll be needin the heavy jacket and sweats.. just to stay warm.. Autumn/Fall is warm/cool.. so sweaters.. not so heavy pants.. u know.. combo of Summer and Winter... You should be all set then.. Shoes.. whatever shoes you wear everywhere else, jus wear here..
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: I'm sure if you run out of ya know 'the goodies' theres plenty of places to stop and get em.. Medical Pharmacy aint to far.. It's on Main Street. They've pretty much got everything.. Across from there, is CVS. So you've got a bonus if u need anything. If you have asthma, just bring your pumps.. and if u got allergies.. just bring ure meds for that. theres nothing here really that could do anything. The air here sometimes, if Natchaug River, or the South Windham, sometimes it smells of poop or other bad smelling things, so u might wanna bring nose plugs..
Photo Equipment: We have 2 photo places. One on Main St. and one in North Windham. so if you've got probs with your photo equipment, just go there, they wont bite your head off so dont worry, not very expensive either... They do the usual, passports, photos, stuff like that.. They're nice people actually...
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: well, I wouldnt be caught camping out in Willimantic, coz really this aint the place to go camping.. Theres a few places near by tho.. Mansfield Hollow Park.. I think has camping there.. It's a nice place. The closest beach near here is Ocean Beach in New London.. and at Harkness Park.. thats by New London too..
Miscellaneous: Ummm... If you do drugs, and if you do come here, make sure u bring pleanty for the crackheads.. They'll be your friends for life.. But otherwise you're pretty much covered here.. Some places here can be expensive.. but thats about it.. Willimantic is what u call a 'poor cheap' community..

Confessions of an Inmate
I DIDN'T WANT TO OBEY THE LAW BECAUSE I HAD TO
I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY TAXES, RAISE MY RIGHT HAND, OBEY A BOSS, OR DRIVE UNDER SIXTY-FIVE BECAUSE I HAD TO
I DIDN'T WANT TO DO LAUNDRY, MAKE MY BED, DO THE DISHES OR PAY THE RENT BECAUSE I HAD TO
DIDN'T WANT TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE I HAD TO DIDN'T WANT TO SMILE, SAY SORRY, SIT UP STRAIGHT, OR SAY HI BECAUSE I HAD TO
DIDN'T WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOU, HOLD HER HAND, OR BUY A RING BECAUSE I HAD TO
DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE BECAUSE I HAD TO
SOMETIMES I'D GO TO CHURCH AND MIMIC THE PRIEST
SOMETIMES I'D PSYCHOANALYZE MY PSYCHIATRIST
ONE TIME I TRIED TO GET THE DECEASED TO FLINCH AT AN OPEN CASKET FUNERAL
SOMETIMES I'D RINSE MY MOUTH WITH MELTED BUTTER AND EAT POPCORN BEFORE MY DENTIST APPOINTMENTS
SOMETIMES I'D GO FISHING WITH A BEEBE AND CAST IT AT OTHER FISHERMEN
ONE TIME I STARTED A MOTORIZED SHOPPING CART WITH A TOOTHPICK AND WENT SHOPPING BECAUSE I WAS TOO DRUNK TO WALK
SOMETIMES I'D STEAL JUST FOR THE THRRILL
SOMETIMES I'D TELL MY GIRLFRIEND WE WERE GOINGI ON A DATE AND I'D ROB A LIQUOUR STORE
ONE TIME I WHIPED IT OUT AND PISSED WHILE ON THE FRONT SEAT OF A ROLLERCOASTER
I MADE MY OWN RULES
SOMETIMES I'D STEAL THE CHURCH OFFERING BOWL
SOMETIMES I'D WALK AROUND ALL DAY NAKED
ONE TIME I PICKED MY SCABS FOR A YEAR, SAVED THEM IN A JAR AND OFFERED THEM TO MY FRIENS AS BEEF JERKY
SOMETIMES I'D PICK MY NOSE AND FLICK SNOTS AT MY BOSS
SOMETIMES I'D KICK MY POOKLE IN RIBS
ONE TIME, AFTER SMOKING CRACK, I PLAYED DEAD AT THE EDGE OF MY FRIEND'S BED
SOMETIMES I'D STEAL CARS
SOMETIMES I'S SELL CRACK
ONE TIME I SHOT AND KILLED A MAN JUST TO GET HIM BACK
I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE THINBGS I DID
I JUST GOT SICK OF DOING WHAT I HAD TO DO
ANYWAYS, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
YOU'RE A LOT LIKE ME
YEAH, I'M THE ONE BEHIND BARS
BUT ARE YOU REALLY FREE
THIS IS A POEM WRITTEN FROM MY SOUL THAT WAS FORMED IN WILLIMANTIC
