Picture Connecticut: Out Of The Fog

NEW HAVEN COUNTY, CT — The latest image in the Picture Connecticut series takes us to Interstate 91 in New Haven County.

It's the "Fog Area" sign on the Southbound side.

The sign has greeted drivers for years.

It has also been the inspiration for a radio schtick back in the 1980s into the early 1990s. Then, when the team of Dr. Chris and Hozay graced the airwaves via KC101-FM, the fictitious sidekick of Chris Evans — Hozay Smith — also served as the shady mayor of Fogarea.

There is also a Fog Area sign located on the northbound side of the highway.
