Not what it was.

I have lived in East Hartford for many years, went to school here in the 60's &70's. In 1980 I left for about 21 years and returned in 2001. While still a quiet residential town, the loss of many jobs at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft has hurt many of the smaller businesses, property values and the standard of living. Many of the P & WA workers lived in East Hartford and with the loss of their jobs, meant the inability to maintain their property, as they once had. The town isn't as progressive as it used to be and the infrastructure needs updates, but without the tax base the town once had that probably won't happen any time soon.........it is a shame.
