Here is how Good Morning America depicts Connecticut in 90-seconds:
Nicknamed the Constitution State because historians believe that world's first constitution was written by settlers here in the 1630s.
Birthplace of iconic movie star Katharine Hepburn.
Home to inventions like the first submarine, called the Turtle, used in combat against the British during the American Revolution
Invention of classic American games like Frisbee, originating from students at Yale University throwing pie tins in the air.
The self-proclaimed pizza capital of the world: Frank Pepe's (white clam pie), Sally's Apizza (the "magic" coal fired oven) and Modern Apizza (Italian bomb).
Home to the first hamburger and hot lobster rolls with butter (no mayo).
Between the Lines: It's mostly about pizza now. They forgot to mention how prosperous the state of Connecticut was in the past. It was one of the manufacturing capitals of the world during the industrial revolution and it was the hedge fund capital of the world until 1991 when the state introduced an income tax. Those were the good old days.
