sad city hartford

neighbor to the north - Hartford. recently, i stumbled across this site about the once thriving capitol of connecticut. 
good and bad facets of the area are discussed. the one time downtown was not enough, i will be back to investigate and form my own expert opinion. 
i'm slowly getting used to the sheer amount of abandoned industrial spaces littering this corner of the US. 
attesting its rich, manufacturing past.

to the city
new haven -> grand central station. 1.5 hrs.
greeted by an old friend, whisked off to brooklyn -- to a commune on the top floor of a converted industrial structure. weekend dominated by pizza, walking, coffee, gin, hipster-watching. basta con las barbas!

-paducah, KY, isolated in the western tip of the state. my father relocated here years ago, the area where great rivers converge 
(the ohio, mississippi, tennessee). the center was architecturally charged, lazy, and cozy.

dance it all away

in il parco sempione, there was a large tent set up complete with dance floor 
and energetic people of an 'older' persuasion sweating it out to classics from 
gloria gaynor to grease. this one diva in particular stole the show with her saucy moves, 
making it impossible not to at least sway to the rhythm. i don't know where she is from, 
where she learned the moves, but i'm glad she's alive.

a fulfilled trajectory directly followed by an imagined one. (miami, pre-barcelona 2009)
