Take a look. If you look hard (at the movie itself not the trailer), you might catch a glimpse of me!

I would love to watch that film gave me chills... in fact Hartford is one sad little world for 40 years.

You must be the medic getting into the back of the ambulance? Looks like a film worth watching. I grew up in Hartford and have seen it change.

The trailer was absolutely chilling. I can just *imagine* the entire film. What a world we live in...

LOL, ah, no. No no no. I repeat, no.

I'm not in the trailer, but probably in the film. The camera crews were around for a few of my calls...

Hartford hasn't been a stable place for decades. I'll never forget the first time I drove down 44 to get to downtown from Avon. It was incomprehensible how quickly it changes after you drive past the West end. It was like driving through the South Bronx once the arson was over and you could see what was left in its wake.


I really wonder if the city is worse now than it was a generation ago. It seems like today's youths are more out of control, but the appearance of the city might be better. This from the early '80s & it reminded me of what I see when taking the train to NYC and going through a few parts of Bridgeport:

Man, I swear some of those abandoned buildings look the same today! Hartford certainly has some areas that look the same as that (in the north end especially), but maybe it isn't as widespread. I'm always fascinated to see how the landscape has changed (or not) over the years.
