OMG, you sound like a happy Hartford booster Kevin, your most upbeat posting on Hartford since I can recall, which is only back to 2009.

All sounds good and plenty but how do you convince people to come and spend their money in downtown Hartford? Oh, I use to live in Hartford but moved because I would not put my children in Hartford public schools. Or, I work in Hartford but the suburbs have much more to offer and parking is always free. So,why would I want to come and spent any time or money in Hartford. Also, the Hartford Public Library has a day time parking fee. If you are lucky you can park free but there are only several free spots. How ridiculous is that? The suburbans come when the Riverfront Recapture, Bushnell Park or something in downtown Hartford is having a free venue. Hartford on the Rise!!!! What a joke?

Parking is a large barrier to downtown growth. It stems from previous days when parking contracts were given out as political candy to political friends and not done to benefit visitor's to downtown. The Parking Authority has made a difference, but there is a long way to go to make it right, as you correctly point out. Why come to Hartford and spend $10.00 for parking to have dinner when you can go to West Hartford Center and park for 50 cents
