Hartford, CT
The Great Escape -
6/4/2007Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson would have escaped this city in about 30 seconds if filming was on location here for one of the all time great American films. When you arrive in Hartford look North, South, East and West as long as each direction is a highway to greener pastures and beyond New England's sinking ship.

Springfield, MA
Abismal area -
6/4/2007They need to eliminate stop lights in Springfield, in order to get through it as fast as humanly possible. Also worth noting, do not stop to use a public restroom, there are very few stalls without a hookers # or sprayed diareaha all over the place in them.

Do your homework! -
6/2/2007Been to Boston many times and must say that the weather is schizophrenic. You will get everything in the timespan of a week and I believe this affects brain chemicals, sunshine is best as a natural anti-depressant. There is definately an inferiority complex here, people seem to take things very personal, from politics, sports and socio-economic status. Housing is outrageous and traffic congestion has LA, NYC and Phoenix trumped. Don't get me wrong, there is enormously fascinating history, traditional architecture and some of the best schools in the country here, however, do your "homework" before chancing a random move here. I would suggest a place that is more "down to earth" and civil, although that is vastly becoming a thing of the past in America. Maybe Portland, OR, Austin, TX or just outside Raleigh, NC. Good luck!

City not what it once was -
4/17/2007Corrupt politicians, businesses evacuating faster than the "gold rush", rising property taxes and depleted law enforcement have cost this city dearly. Many have bolted elsewhere.
