I gave some guy my last $50 to valet my car outside of XL on Asylum and he never brought my car or my money back.

If you are serious then you don’t deserve your money or your Audi.

I’ve gone to multiple games at the Rent every year since it opened. The enthusiasm is gone, along with the fan base. I’m part of a tailgate group that once touched 100 season ticket members. It’s gotten smaller every year since we made the BCS bowl, with no signs of improvement. You can’t even give away football tickets anymore.

The program and fans will be back. Joining the ACC would be a no brainer, slam dunk. Not even worth discussing. Better basketball league than the Big East too, most years.

actually we were a short while ago and can be again.

We were never a football school. Our football program was once decent and is now terrible but UConn was, is, and always will be a basketball school. Same with Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas...

We need to be in the ACC? Really? Obviously we've gone down this road before. I would describe our previous attempt as an epic fail. The moronic AG sued the ACC. Also, we just got into the BE. Yesterday we were all psyched to be back in MSG. Ready to claim what's ours. Today it's see you BE clowns later. We are going to the ACC. It's part of the revitalization of Hartford!

The MBTA in metro Boston has seen ridership decline 85% as I understand it. It was struggling already, requiring heavy state subsidies to operate. Now it's in really rough shape. Commuter rail hit harder than the subway and buses.

Metro areas are going to have some tough choices. Do they keep investing in that model, or do they shift resources?

as always with realty -location, location, location. bahstan will be fine. as the center of brainpower on earth, and with the enviable location of a short trip to the awesome beaches, a short trip to the awesome mountains, or an evening stroll down newberry,
it will remain an awesome place, with only a rebalancing for the office space thing to evolve.
texas, florida, and the likeminded, are already soaring into the future, with only the hydrocarbon industry contributions to be figgered out (which should never have happened. thanks, not, dc. another place now horribly, and for a long time to come, toast.). kali metros, nyc, chicago, and such? the current metrics for them tell all. not good.
now, back to the desk, where the homework on a 2000 homes project in daytona metro awaits. if it passes muster and flys, im gonna try and push for a 'no carbon, only horses allowed on the streets' mandate. ya know, crunchy green and all that. lol. prolly time for me to get into the hay and grain bitness. 2xlol.
currently, ten million folks jobless. but hey, that supergenius in charge of ny state looks like he'll be heading to the breadline, so, there's that. progress.

I bet these fools still think Pratt & Whitney builds engines in East Hartford! Ha! What a bunch of dopes....

They do, in pieces. Parts are made all over the country, some in EH and some at the West Palm Beach plant. And the Middletown plant for that matter.

Tell that to @Waquoit dude is clearly insane. At a minimum needs a refresher on Pratt & Whitney component sourcing.

I laughed for a good minute after reading this. Sorry for your misfortune but what the hell were you thinking?

The engines are built in Middletown. I thought that's what you meant by building engines.

Was just playing around. I don't much about P&W. Hopefully that was obvious.

To recap, this little discussion began with you and the other guy throwing shade at Hartford. I'm glad you both walked it back.

I threw some very mild shade. Not sure I walked any of it back.

Gambling as an economic growth engine is a joke. Cleveland has tried it. A dismal failure despite two downtown sports venues. Wishing Hartford all the best but this is not forward looking or innovative. It’s just another source of money to be thrown out the window with no lasting benefit. A tax on an addiction.

Hey, when your government leaders view gambling as "economic development" this is what you get.

If what Texas and Florida stand for is the future, we are toast.

Hartford 400

I like the vision. I’m concerned what industry and business will thrive in the US over the next 10 years to fuel CT growth. Also, CT taxes are are a drag on a turnaround plan.

Maybe it’s “if you build it, they will come”. The cash has to come from somewhere.

Stick to random comments about your minor university. You embarrass yourself less.
