Yeah, there are some interesting places in Hartford to visit, but the people are not friendly, the place is dirty, the streets confusing, and some areas are dangerous to go through. The state likes to point out the sports venues without realizing that only people in CT would ever be interested in those. I have been to Hartford several times while living here and I plan to visit more museums and restaurants. However, if you want to see all the problems the state has encapsulated and amplified in one place, then Hartford is a good place for that.
