I spent my first 30 years in East Hartford and I would never move back, Manchester on the other hand I like to go to often. Manchester has a little bit of everything while East Hartford has been simply going downhill since it’s existence. Take a drive down Silver Lane and you’ll see. I used to go to restaurants there, got my tattoos there used to go to Bare Bones Boxing and the movies, ow there’s nothing but empty parking lots. It honestly makes me sad cause I’d love to live where I grew up but there’s nothing there anymore.
