stories our readers care about. Now, through our new project Curious CT, we're making it easier for you to tell us what you want to know about people, places and issues in southeastern Connecticut. All you have to do is submit your question in the form below.</p> <br /> <p>Not sure what to ask? You can ask questions big or small, such as: "Who's the biggest taxpayer in Groton?" or "How often do legislators travel outside of Connecticut for work?" or "What's the average wait time at the local DMV?"</p> <br /> <p>After each submission period, we'll select a few questions and kick it back to you, the readers, to vote on your favorite. Once a winner is selected by reader votes, we'll contact the person who submitted the winning question to be part of the reporting process, if they so desire. Then we'll report back what we learn. This could be in a story, a podcast, a video or a combination.</p> <div class="row "> <div class="col-md-4" style="text-align: center;"> <img src="https://static.theday.com/theday/assets/curiousct/images/question.png" style="max-width: 32px;" alt="You ask" title="You ask" /> <h4 class="curious-header">You ask</h4> </div> <div class="col-md-4" style="text-align: center;"> <img src="https://static.theday.com/theday/assets/curiousct/images/vote.png" style="max-width: 32px;" alt="You vote" title="You vote" /> <h4 class="curious-header">You vote</h4> </div> <div class="col-md-4" style="text-align: center;"> <img src="https://static.theday.com/theday/assets/curiousct/images/investigate.png" style="max-width: 32px;" alt="We investigate" title="We investigate" /> <h4 class="curious-header">We investigate</h4> </div> </div> <hr />   <div class="clearfix"></div> <h3 class="static-inline-head">Here's how it works:</h3> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="article-video"> <iframe id="ytplayer" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TrLsJHrt9Uw"></iframe> </div> </div> </div>          <h3 class="static-inline-head" style="margin-top: 20px;">Past CuriousCT stories</h3> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4"> <a href="https://www.theday.com/local-news/20230923/making-sense-of-fort-nonsense/" title="Making sense of Fort Nonsense"> <img alt="Making sense of Fort Nonsense" style="width:100%" src="https://imengine.public.prod.day.navigacloud.com?uuid=2e201c0a-c4de-5072-87b7-978ab90194b1&function=cropresize&type=preview&source=false&q=75&crop_w=0.99999&crop_h=0.38233&width=1000&height=563&x=1.0E-5&y=0.29652"> </a> </div> <div class="col-md-7 col-md-offset-1"> <h3><a href="https://www.theday.com/local-news/20230923/making-sense-of-fort-nonsense/" title="Making sense of Fort Nonsense">Making sense of Fort Nonsense</a></h3> <p class="sect-byline sect-smaller text-right" style="padding-right: 20px;">September 23, 2023</p> <p class="summary"> A reader asked through CuriousCT where a forgotten Revolutionary War fort stood in New London.
