WEST HARTFORD‌YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW It’s easy for those of us who live in West Hartford to take our extraordinary town for granted. The superb schools. The lush green parks and landscapes. The distinctive restaurants. The proximity to world-class museums and theaters. The endless awards and accolades. In recent months, however, something interesting has begun to take root. You might even call it a phenomenon. Banished from their skyscraper offices and confined by COVID-19 to their pothole-sized apartments, pandemic-weary New York urbanites arerelocating to nearby suburban towns that offer great schools, excellent amenities, spacious homes and safe, more comfortable living.
