Hartford is a charming city with a low cost of living, a rich ethnic mix, an educated populace, and a rich history.

We also have the excitement which comes with a high crime rate and an active gang culture.

We also have a lot of bars and insurance executives. I'm not sure how those go hand-in-hand, but I'm pretty sure that there is a correlation.

Hartford has a pedestrian-friendly downtown. This is because it is impossible to drive anywhere because all the major streets in downtown are one-way in the same directions (West and North).

We used to have an NHL team. This differentiates us from FL which has two poseur franchises currently pretending to be NHL teams.

We're a gay-friendly community. There is even a banner on the church on Main St. which says "We're a gay-friendly community."

Our mayor is bi-lingual. He sounds like an idiot in both languages.

We're efficient. The Park River doubles as a sewage main.

Hartford has a thriving art community. There's me, my friend 'rissa and the guy who makes statues of Elvis out of chrome bumpers.
