Just spent a couple weeks in western CT and thought you might be interested in some shots of downtown Hartford.
First impressions of the city:
Makes Bostons Financial District look like Time Sq. on the weekend. Brew pub dosen't even open until 4PM on Sunday.
The city is a bunch concret plazas on steroids.
Riverwalk has great potential, but no p e o p l e.
Fanatastic food, but mostly in the burbs and ethnic sections of town.
Sorry, Boston 02124 not a single crane in sight. Development activity is non existent.
