I've worked in downtown Hartford for 30 years and if you're downtown, there's few options, and these businesses come and go, for shopping, etc. CVS is about it, the and the bodega that is opposite it on Main St. How is that being ignorant? I was thinking of what is accessible within walking distance.

Definitely the problem with downtown is no grocery store, gas station, or other sort of basic stuff you'd get if you lived in a less urban area. The bright side would be no commute, easy access to theater, museums, and the park.

I root for New York Yankees and New York Giants - always have, even when I lived in Indiana. The Yankees are the premier sports franchise in the world. The Giants are the Giants and fun for me. Yes, there are spots teams in Boston, but I'll leave it to others more qualified to speak about them.

What kind of game is this the the utility companies are playing? First the increase, now the credit. The credit should not distract anyone - it's a 50% increase and a 12% credit or something.
