Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/MHkgeBW1ydr .
Hartford is the capital of Connecticut and the historic seat of Hartford County until Connecticut disbanded county government in 1960. As of the 2010 Census, Hartford's population was 124,775,[1] making it Connecticut's third-largest city after the coastal cities of Bridgeport and New Haven. Census Bureau estimates since then have indicated Hartford's subsequent fall to fourth place statewide as a result of sustained population growth in the coastal city of Stamford.
Nicknamed the "Insurance Capital of the World", Hartford houses many insurance company headquarters, and insurance remains the region's major industry.[2] Founded in 1637, Hartford is among the oldest cities in the United States. Hartford is home to the nation's oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum; the oldest publicly funded park, Bushnell Park; the oldest continuously published newspaper, The Hartford Courant; the second-oldest secondary school, Hartford Public; Trinity College, an elite, private liberal arts college, and the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his family, among other historically significant attractions. In 1868, resident Mark Twain wrote, "Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief."[3]
Following the American Civil War, Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades.[4] Today, Hartford is one of the poorest cities in the nation with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty line.[5] In sharp contrast, the Hartford metropolitan area is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production[6] and 7th out of 280 metropolitan statistical areas in per capita income. Highlighting the socio-economic disparity between Hartford and its suburbs, 83% of Hartford's jobs are filled by commuters from neighboring towns who earn over $80,000, while 75% of Hartford residents who commute to work in other towns earn just $40,000.
Economy
Hartford is the historic international center of the insurance industry, with companies such as Aetna, Conning & Company, The Hartford, The Phoenix Companies, UnitedHealthcare and Hartford Steam Boiler based in the city, and companies such as Travelers and Lincoln National Corporation having major operations in the city. The city is also home to the corporate headquarters of U.S. Fire Arms and United Technologies.
From the 19th century until the mid-20th century, Hartford was a major manufacturing city. During the Industrial Revolution into the mid-20th century, the Connecticut River Valley cities produced many major precision manufacturing innovations. Among these was Hartford's pioneer bicycle (and later) automobile maker Pope.[64] As in nearly all former Northern manufacturing cities, many factories have been closed, relocated, or reduced operations.
Aetna and the Hartford Financial Services Group, both Fortune 100 companies, are headquartered in Hartford. Travelers Insurance has its largest national employment center and historical headquarters in the city. CIGNA insurance is headquartered in the region with a presence in Hartford and its suburb Bloomfield. United Health Insurance has a significant presence in the city.[65]
Hartford is a center for medical care, research, and education. Within Hartford itself the city includes Hartford Hospital, The Institute of Living, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center (which merged in 1990 with Mount Sinai Hospital).

@@MARIOdeANGOLA the usa is the best place in the world. Greetings from Nevada
KxS cheers...You are lucky Man. All the best to you in Nevada. I hope to visit America in the near future. Thanks
MARIO de ANGOLA Don’t just visit the usa sir you can come here and help our black community you know what’s im saying if you have a good job come here it could be easy for you...I live in Marietta it’s near Atlanta, you can say it’s the suburbs of Atlanta, In the state of Georgia
This is such a trip for me. I haven't been to Hartford since I left in 1992. Brings back so many memories.
you left just when Hartford was changing from a boom town to a bust town
How was it back then?
We are trying to bring back the Hartford Whalers!! This city was amazing especially in Spring during the Stanley Cup playoffs... just aint the same. We rivaled Boston New York Montreal even Buffalo
Damn racists from this city who killed a good and peaceful guy just because he was black..Those racists are thank God in prison..I personally want them to rot to death all their lives in prison.Their souls are cursed and waiting for them Devil in hell! Amen ..A RIP for a black man !!!💕💗✝️
Was it a smelly dump back then too?
Hartford was once a richest City in United States
back in the early 1900's it could rival New York City.
@@juliemnm8273 before civil war it was richest city
Raju Panday oh shit really!!!!!.........
Its was once called the Insurance capital of the World
Then we lost the whalers
I enjoyed waiting at the countless red lights with you.
I missed Hartford so much. Hope to get back again.
Thank you for showing me the town where my mother was born and raised in the 30’s
this seems like i’m playing a video game lol
thanks for this video man, been watching the place that i had grew up many times!
Too bad that this is such a rough city... It's so nice in the day time
This was so neat! It was like seeing a really familiar place from an outside perspective.
(I'm not actually from Hartford, but my town is right next to it.)
I’m angolan and Missing connecticut... i used To live there for 3 years, East Granby and Hartford👌
Were you deported?
Wow, I really want to visit Connecticut. It looks very beautiful! (I live in California)
Thank you for making this video, hope someday i can visit USA someday
Fun Fact: View from the overpass at 5:10 onto the interstate is used on Radiohead’s OK Computer album cover
You can even see part of the roads that you drove on ;)
Could you film Hartford at night during the Christmas season? We used to go there each year in the 1970s, and it always looked so nice. The Travelers Tower always had a bright white light at the top of it. I can't find any good night videos of Hartford on TH-cam. Thank you.
Lived near Downtown Hartford for 7 years and moved in January 2021. I already miss taking walks here.
Ah I love this part of the city. I live in manchester
I love how you see the gold building XD
I know this place from the back of my heart
Same ! Wethersfield field , bonner street, main, park street,
Looks like a place to visit 💛
Thank you, man! 🙌🏻
I live in east Hartford and go to Hartford for..things. lol I love it. Grimy as it is, it still has it's old school swag and Elizabeth gardens is a great place in the summer
I used to be able to see the one financial plaza right from my house it was nice but way too bright in the morning 😂
Awesome memories!
Love the red-bricks and the Jeffersonian columns that have come to define the New England area.
CT is in metro NYC, new england is a MA thing and new england is not a metro area. Boston has nothing to do with CT
I live in eastern CT which is a mix of the 2 but a lot of new England culture
It defines the real English architecture/culture too, a blend of Mediterranean, Celtic and Nordic pneuma/spirits. It offers you that maritime aura, next you need is fresh lobster and lots of Tabasco or smth.
Wow, it's very big city!
Hartford has the articulating buses..Nice Thanks for the upload.. xd
Que lugar legal, so tinha ouvido falar por causa do seriado my wife and Kids!!!
nice job , impressive location to use camera
Hartford is used to be the Insurance Capital of the America ( World too)
Clean as hell!
What camera do you use?
Thank you! My great grandmother used to take me through Hartford on foot to Gfox store. She lived at charter oak terrace. Not sure what happened to that building. It must have been torn down.
I was born and raised in COT D side 117 Chandler street.
G. Fox store is on the right at 4:48. Charter Oak Terrace I don't know. One thing I noticed about Connecticut FWIW: Traffic lights all dangling from wires over the intersection instead of mounted on poles at the corner like most places.
Someone said downtown Hartford was better when the Whalers were there. I'd say better when G. Fox, Sage Allen and other stores were there and attracted people to the downtown area. In this video, sidewalks nearly empty.
DaynaT060 I lived in Rice Heights on Flatbush Ave..Next to Charter Oak Terrace.The projects.Ah,the milk machine where we went to buy our milk.Of course both projects have been torn down.
I love watching my city
Do you recommend to live in ct.
@@dayand1189 I’m born and raised in Dover Delaware but my dad is from Hartford ct and I lived there for 2 years once I turned 16. Hartford is rough but adventurous all at the same time. Leaning more on the rough side😂only fun if you know the right people. I think Connecticut is a nice state...just don’t move to Hartford if you don’t have to. Hartford is a nice place to go if you need cheap rent and bus lines that go most places. That makes it easy to get around. And the city has plenary of diversity...Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, and African Americans there for the most part. They have parades and such. There’s plenty of colleges too. I’m moving back cuz I’m 20 now and I’m starting my independent life
the traffic lights got me so angry, look like you got every stop light wow
Dennis Clark and the sky full of chemtrails ? Didnt get you ungry.....?
Yeah the traffic lights take dumb long to change and the drivers drive funny.
The Hartbeat ❤❤
The gold building is my bank "Peoples Bank" :)
Very calm ☺
Greetings from Las Vegas NEVADA 📍

JUDAH STRONG why’re you getting mad

Lol I love when broke people point out the negativity.
It's called Driving Downtown.
well i know you dont care but my cousins said it s dangerous out there sometimes and in bridgeport where i live its nuts i even saw a street fight going on a few blocks away!!
@@resumewriterbrian most of CT don't care about new england, we are in metro NYC, far greater.
@@Thebrothaisback is that new Yorkers rap like southerners now,because it's far greater? Lol
@@kingfriday2786 lmaoooo...thank u
Grew up in Gbury. Took the bus all through there for school
Sunday or a holiday .... luv ma city but don't live there anymore, closer to NYC now. Nothing like the HARTBEAT so unique for its size
America is so beautiful
best place for introvert, i love it
I was the Electrician at the Federal Building years ago when I was a kid.... its at 1:09 right side...
Thank you for your work, sir! I remember spending hours in that building as a child while my mom got her citizenship. It's more than just a building.
I wanna find a nice city to ride my bike around in but i live in enfield so you know any where that is closer than hartford?
springfield
hola disculpe me puede dar su numero nesesito gravar un video musical
Nice 🌆
Thank you for your video I left Hartford many moons ago back in the early 90s felt like I was still there 🙂
Damn racists from this city who killed a good and peaceful guy just because he was black..Those racists are thank God in prison..I personally want them to rot to death all their lives in prison.Their souls are cursed and waiting for them Devil in hell! Amen ..A RIP for a black man !!!
I used to be living there 2018
Me too. Back in NJ now.
Must be a Saturday
Jamie Curling agreed, it definitely was a weekend day!
A nice place to go to in Hartford is the XL Center. RIP Whalers, and go UConn!
Take me to Sands to cop 😋
that white and gray building to the left at 37seconds is a methadone clinic
От души .
хочу туда,а может быть попала,есть шанс.
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Wow Dunkin Donut Park that is no longer there anymore.
I drive here everyday
👋here's your 🍪
I’m right outside of downtown
3 mins in the video past the Gold building on the right was my Divorce Lawyer lol
someone who gives me a location of a tax survey porfa
Waterbury is beautiful
So quiet I could sleep!. I couldn’t live there!.
Drove by the methadone clinic at 54 seconds 😂🤣
I was born in Connecticut and I live in hartford
Your in my state :)
America is Heaven
Mark Kramer is dating Deirdre Breen.
Dunkin Donuts Park ....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
BobEckert56
Um Its a baseball stadium ......
@Crypto Zen they don't refuse to work, racists don't hire them, they import Mexicans instead. That must be part of nafta
Crypto Zen So if you are the lead corporate sponsor of the stadium would you not put your name on it for advertisement type purposes? I am sure they were just covered with corporations looking to spend money to sponsor the stadium that they were able to be selective on who had the least “stupid” name as you put it.
Nope I pass by their every weekend
@@LazyAssWins
Junk food sure but nothing wrong with their Coffee . That's all I get there anyway, but Starbucks is still my first choice.
Regardless who cares who puts the money up. At least we got the stadium.
I live in the area!
Looks like a peaceful city, would u recommend it for someone that has never live in a western country before?
kelly- it's crime ridden and segregated
We are trying to bring back the Hartford Whalers!! This city was amazing especially in Spring during the Stanley Cup playoffs... just aint the same. We rivaled Boston New York Montreal even Buffalo
Winnipeg is a great city as well.... amazing lakes and beaches
Hartford can be rough but if you don’t go looking for trouble it’s a nice city. It’s actually great for people like you who have never lived in the west before. The busses run everywhere so it’s convenient for work and school. There are PLENTY of great colleges around. And Hartford has cheap apartments for rent. Much cheaper than here in Delaware. Also Hartford is very diverse. The city mostly consists of immigrants....Jamaicans, Puerto ricans, and African Americans and they all have different parades and festivals.
Not if you don’t enjoy the daily shootings now and stray bullets! They left out all the crappy parts if this city conveniently! I live one town over- this is such a farce!
Thank you J Utah !!
glad you enjoyed it!
There's no one walking the streets..Is it bad there?
EmmaGrace Mills The state has become monopolized, very expensive to live in. High taxes and yet lots of poverty. That's why there is barely anyone walking the streets. I would know, I was raised in Hartford. Democrats ruin everything
I lived there, it's likely that he is driving around on a Sunday, downtown Hartford is very quiet on Sunday. Monday-Saturday there are people everywhere.
Could be late morning or early afternoon when people are at work or school, except the lunch rush.
@Crypto Zen fuck Canada
I mean, it’s the ghetto, not everyone wants to casually walk around. But theres usually a lot of people
looks like a big city but only has around 125k residents...
It's still big
Ozzy Laboy Yes, your right but to an extent.
Bro you travelled the whole America its time to travel India 🇮🇳...
Downtown Northport Long island
Hello nice to meet you how are you doing today how is the weather over there you really look so nice on your profile how is your family hope they are fine?🌹🌹🌹
The street looks abandoned no people only few cars .. looks boring
Alvin Muaña Hartford is not boring unless this was a Sunday
Alvin Muaña probably a weekend a lot of the pedestrians during the week are workers and students (UConn and capital community college)..when the weekend comes there’s not much to do in Hartford a lot of bars/night clubs got shut down
It's just the weekend
@@ronnie4661 it's just a sunday
It is boring. You would think the weekend is when most people are out and about enjoying the weather. This person has a good camera making the city look better than it really is.
Too bad you didn't pass Bushnell Park, the Soldiers & Sailors monument, the Capitol, etc.
it looks like a ghost town , where are the people?
fh2dnd kcrs its a small city, very small
Hey bro downtown only looks like this on the weekends lookup downtown CT on weekdays it's so bad
Only 123,400 peoples live in Hartford, Connecticut. That's why
My gf lives down here an im gonna visit her
George W, 1734
We used to play Yankee Doodle.
Greetings, your channel is very nice, I look forward to seeing you on our channel.
This state is my best one in USA, Connecticut State.
We are trying to bring back the Hartford Whalers!! This city was amazing especially in Spring during the Stanley Cup playoffs... just aint the same. We rivaled Boston New York Montreal even Buffalo
@@brandonlewis5135 The Whalers should not have left
@@BM_2002 thats right
Cómo me gustaría manejar por aquí escuchando a Led Zeppelin, esa canción de "Levee."
Lol
I want to visit here!
No you don't
Mr. Biggs it's a nice city to visit for a day or two but to live in its can be dangerous depending on what side of Hartford u live in but it's the capital what do u expect??
Naaaaahh
I’m on the good side and it’s really nice but my cousin and uncle went to West Hartford and there was this weird donut shop and they sold mini donuts and there was like graffiti everywhere and it was tiny and when they went to the library and got in a guy was having a seizure lol
It's boring... nothing to do, nothing to see... well old stuff... if that's what you're into.
i live in Beaufort s.c and its pretty her.
It’s my state
Come down to East end of Hartford on a Friday night!!!
J Donovan very sad
too much traffic light
Putra F Azima it’s a city...
U.S.A. 🇺🇸 👍 the best country on earth👍, God bless America
I hope that one day, should the NHL ever expand again, we would get the Hartford Whalers back! The only thing is that in my opinion, should that occur, the XL Center won’t be their arena. They would probably build it next to UConn football’s Rentschler Field, and make that a little sports complex. I think that with the Rangers’ farm team, the Hartford Wolf Pack being here, they would either move to M&T Bank Arena in Hamden, home of Quinnipiac hockey, and become the New Haven Nighthawks, or would stay at the XL Center, and be known as the Connecticut Rangers. Should they move to Hamden, become the Nighthawks, and get the Whalers back like I said, I think that they would still keep the XL Center, but only for UConn basketball.
Joe Rogan brought me here
Really how he's talked about Connecticut before?
Hello Russia ,love USA
And Donald Trump loves you!
US conservatives love Russia. Russian people are very down-to-earth and practical most of the time, unlike the American lib-tards.
Get out your fuckin ass over here drunk man
