West Hartford Hopes to Attract a Hotel
In West Hartford's well developed downtown, this open space stands out... but it may not for long. The town is taking proposals from hotel developers that want to build on the land which is owned my the town.
West Hartford is looking for a full -service hotel with about 120 rooms. Though the town already has the west hartford inn which is very close to the center, Rob Rowlson who is the community development director says a modern hotel in the center is needed.
Hartford, Connecticut
Hartford, located at the end of the navigable portion of the Connecticut River, was settled in 1623 as a Dutch trading post called House of Hope. In 1636, a group of English settlers led by the Reverend Thomas Hooker left Massachusetts and formed a colony here. The settlers made peace with the local Algonquin Indians, who called the town Saukiog, and renamed it after Hertford, England.
Early in its existence Hartford made a significant contribution to the burgeoning society. The Fundamental Orders adopted by the colony in 1639, was the first document in history to establish a government by the consent of the people. The pattern was followed by the framers of the United States Constitution, giving Connecticut its nickname, The Constitution State.
Evolving from an early agricultural economy, Hartford grew into an important trading center on the Connecticut River. Molasses, spices, coffee and rum were distributed from warehouses in the city's thriving merchant district. Ships set sail from Hartford to England, the West Indies and the Far East. Merchants were concerned about risks to this thriving trade, with fires, pirates, storms and accidents always a threat.
The insurance industry was created when groups of merchants began to share these risks. The practice was formalized with the creation of the Hartford Fire Insurance Group in 1810. Our nation's oldest insurance company still operates in the city as the Hartford Insurance Company. Hartford became the home of many of the nation's largest insurance companies, such as Aetna and Travelers, and is known today as the Insurance Capital of the World.
Pioneering manufacturers like Samuel Colt also called Hartford home. Colt's experiments with interchangeable parts created the basis for today's assembly line manufacturing methods. New techniques employed in his firearms factory made mass production possible and laid the groundwork for Hartford's pre-eminence in the area of precision manufacturing.
Shaped by the social and economic forces which gave rise to industrial growth in America, Hartford grew and prospered as successive waves of immigrants came to work, build and settle in the community. This ethnic and cultural diversity continues to be a prominent part of Hartford's heritage and one of our cities greatest assets.
Hartford also became an important cultural and communications center. The Hartford Courant, founded in 1764, is the country's oldest continuously published newspaper. The nations oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, was founded in 1844. Supported by prominent benefactors like J.P. Morgan, the museum grew to become one of the top ten art museums in the country. Authors like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe were drawn to the area, because, as Twain said of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief.
Springfield, Massachusetts: Downtown Driving Tour (August, 2019)
Driving tour video of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, possibly the hometown of 'The Simpsons'. The city was settled in 1636 and incorporated as a city in 1852. The current population is just over 155,000 with a metro total of just under 700,000.
Seen in the video is Monarch Place, the tallest skyscraper in town. The office tower is 401 feet in height with 26 floors and was opened in 1987.
Also seen, among many other landmarks, is the MassMutual Center. This venue opened in 1972 as the Springfield Civic Center. The arena seats 6,793 at home games for the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds. This was an alternate home of the New England Whalers of the WHA and the Hartford Whalers of the NHL back in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

New Haven, Connecticut, USA
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. New Haven was the first planned city in America. A year after its founding by English Puritans in 1638, eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is commonly known as the Nine Square Plan. The central common block is the New Haven Green, a 16-acre square at the center of Downtown New Haven.
MALL TOUR 2017 : Brass Mill Center (Waterbury, CT)
I stay in my home state of Connecticut for the 6th stop of the 2017 Mall Tour, exploring the Brass Mill Center in Waterbury with Angela and Gabby (who makes her Mall Tour debut)
What ensues is one of the more goofy Mall Tours I've ever had as we check out every square inch of this Waterbury shopping mall including a very large Burlington Coat Factory
You also won't want to miss a cameo from Clifford the big red dog and an intense air hockey matchup. All this and more awaits as Mall Tour 2017 continues on
