Dont forget about the mix master just over the river in East Hartford in the area that was called "The Meadows". Hundreds of homes, business' and a grade school were demolished with the residents displaced.

Crazy that the footprint of the mix master is basically the same size as all of downtown Hartford. Even if you want to look at it from the most conservative economics only perspective, that is trading off a fuck ton of potential economic opportunity and tax revenue for an interchange.

My dad grew up in East Hartford. He vividly remembers his house had to be moved down the street for some type of construction project. I’m wondering if it was because of this now
