Pope Park facing Northwest (John Groo photo) The Hartford Parks System has been the topic of much debate in the 2+ years I’ve been on Council. As Chair of Public Works, Parks and Environment, I’ve received more, uh…feedback than most others, and deservedly so. The sad condition of our parks has earned us a national distinction [...]
I normally do not use this space to advertise/promote/highlight things that I personally am involved with. Seems kinda unfair so it’s my own type of self censureship. Normally I try to highlight good things in the city as well as complaining about things that I feel might not be for the overall goodness of our fair city.

Yes people, I now give to you (drum roll) THE BEST WEEKEND EVER!!!
In the infamously mis-quoted words of Senator Lloyd Bentson, I implore to you, my wonderful reading public, to bear with me while I get some sort of motivation to get back in the spirit of things.

I, on the other hand practically grew up in that neighborhood and was happy to go back for such a happy event. In fact, this thoroughly oppressed neighborhood was, at least for an hour, the center of the political universe in Hartford today with a grand total of six politicians (1 Mayor, 2 Councilpeople, 2 Rep’s, and 1 Senator) making their way to the park.
