I expected to have a quiet work day at the house yesterday but found myself doing the “social hustle” around Hartford. It’s been cool being home and sizing up the “scene,” or lack thereof, in Hartford. Downtown has always had an identity crisis; attracting and alientanting various demographics and individuals from really partaking in anything hip or, for that matter, fun. Being away and seeing how major cities like San Francisco, LA, New York, and Boston get their party on has really made me look at Hartford with a critical eye. I’ve been spotted around town with my camera snapping away, taking notes and doing a little recon. This kid is back and the family and I have some aces up our sleeve.
