I’ve lived downtown for years and I have never not felt safe living here, walking around at all times of the day or night. Just like any other city, including New York City, you just have to be aware of your surroundings and be smart. Don’t leave stuff visible in the back of your car enticing people to break in. Be open to meeting new people and actually doing some research to look for things to do. There is a lot to do here besides just going to restaurants: art shows, festivals, open markets, live music. Check out Hartford.com to get an idea.

Thats some real good advice. I will make sure to keep my car empty. Im worried about having a bunch of stuff in my car while Im still in hotel. Getting extended stay outside of the city until I get moved in. I love art, history, and nature. My first planned tourist spot is mark twain, then I want to go look at all the old buildings. Thanks for the website recommendation Im checking it out now.

Do you think Ill be made fun of for saying Yall and Howdy? Haha Thanks again!

If you like a good drink once your here, stop by Little River Tuesday thru Saturday and ask for Dusty. Very welcoming crowd and often times a pitstop of fellow out of towners I find along with locals
