Cruising Hartford


With Labor Day marking the unofficial end of summer, it also marks the end of our favorite pastime, cruising the fine city of Hartford for some Sad City ghetto tourism. Cruising the city's neighborhoods is a great way to to get a feel for the city and to see some real, ehh, ummm, "interesting" stuff. The good news is that if you get a little tired, the city has thoughtfully left tons and tons of mattresses just laying around the sidewalk for adventurers to take power naps in! How nice.

Check out Jumper's classic video of cruising Hartford above.

SAD CITY BONUS TIP:

Bring spare change and be prepared to be asked for cigarettes. Everyone in Hartford who looks like they might possibly have a job is going to get badgered for change for that mysterious "bus fare to New Britain." Also apparently it's 1954 in Harford and everyone is sucking down cigarettes like Coca-Cola because tons of people will ask you for a cigarette, even without a shred of evidence that you smoke.

Sad City Readers Come Through

Thanks to Sad City reader Nada P who sent us a tip on where to locate Hooker Watermelon Ale. Looks like we know what we will be sipping after the Hooker Day Parade on Saturday!
