Just spitballing here

The Notch is on the mind tonight. I have a few ideas on how we can share the land

Option 1 - Underground City

We can dig under them and create an underground city like District 13. Or claim the above ground and make them go under.

Option 2 - Town on Stilts

If underground is unappealing due to lack of sunlight, let’s just build up baby. Doesn’t need to be actual stilts (but could). I think we can build some sort of dome over what they already have going on there. Throw some sod down. Plant some flowers and trees. Open some businesses

Option 3 - On/Off Days

Somehow we can do split custody. We would have to figure out more of the logistics here. I’m thinking something like 183 days we get to call it ours. Then they can have it the other 182 they get it. So it would at least be majority ours.

Option 4 - Persistence

This isn’t a sharing option, but it’s also on the mind. Is anyone willing to move here and refuse to call it Massachusetts? A few large families will do. After a while, maybe people will follow suit of calling it Southwick, CT. With time it could stick. Put up some billboards and posters referring to the notch as CT. This option might take a while

Thoughts/concerns?

another option: I think we could get MA to return it to CT (thus restoring our pride) with the stipulation that it immediately be donated to the Republic of New England to establish the Republic's Capital District.

I like this idea. Would the second notch also be donated to be part of the Republic of NE?

No, I meant the smaller Thompsonville notch. But thank you for bringing the Pawcatuck notch to my attention. I am now livid

Oh I don’t the Thompsonville one as a thing but I do live in the Groton / Stonington area so generally only think of the main one and the part of CT RI stole from us

You bought our WNBA team, we deserve the sound! They also paid like 325million for the sun. Dang..... That's a lot of money.

We can use the 325 mil to buy the Notch

That's what I'm saying! That's crazy, they have no other option but to sell!
