Despite being called the "Rose City" Norwich has a constant smell of rotting plants combined with cannabis. A favorite spot for middle class white people to pretend to be street thugs while staying safe from the actual streets in New London. Local pastimes include dining at the premiered 7/11, and shoplifting the local Goodwill. Main exports include Meth, Crack and shitty ass drivers. You won't have your car broken into but don't be surprised to find homeless people rubbing their stomach on your car if you leave it for more than 5 minutes. Local mothers ship their welfare claims to the Norwich Free Academy where students either choke on fumes from poor ventilation or get expelled for asking teachers for prescription drugs. If you live in surrounding towns like Bozrah, Lebanon, or Preston you probably know someone from here who either drives a shitbox Subaru/Civic complete with monster energy stickers, thinks selling 25$ of weed a week is the "grind" or claims Chris Webby cured his depression.
"Hey man you ever been to Norwich Connecticut?" Nah Fam, not a fan of watching local crackheads try to fight hicks from Lebanon just trying to get weed"
A heavyweight boxer also known as the "boilermaker" who fought consistently from 1895 until 1904 beating such legends as Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett, Peter Jackson and Tom Sharkey and retired undefeated. He was like many at the time, a staunch racist, and when the legendary black champion Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title, he foolishly agreed to "put that N*gger in his place" despite the fact that at this point he was morbidly obese and retired over 6 years. After extensive training in fitness and sparring (and many more insults to Johnson), the bout was deemed the fight of the century, and the vast majority of white people bet on Jeffries despite the major fore-mentioned disadvantages. As expected, Jeffries lost in humiliating fashion while Johnson grinned and toyed with him for 15 rounds before knocking him out. Many white people were so butthurt they began killing random black people and even each other. Jeffries undefeated record was now destroyed, but he took the loss with humility and admitted he couldn't land a hit on Johnson and lost fair and square. He stayed retired afterwards, and remained a public figure until his death in 1953.
"James J. Jeffries was ruthless in the ring, but boy did he make a mistake fighting the Galveston Giant"
