Cool Date Spot in 1977

It's Fall of 1977. You're 17 years old and you live in the South End. Where do you take your new girlfriend for a date? Someplace visually stunning, romantic, probably outside, but private enough where you could fool around should things go that way. Something that feels different and cinematic. (still working on that novel, for those of you who saw my earlier post about neighborhoods in 1977).

Thanks!

Cover up tattoo artist

Anyone have any recommendations for a good tattoo artist that does cover up work? Preferably one with an online portfolio where I can see past work. Looking to do a lower arm half sleeve. Looking for a space theme half sleeve. Would like an alien to cover up what need to be covered up and other space stuff to fill up the arm. I like surrealism. So thinking wavy lines etc

Edit: I’d also like to add, I would like a tattoo artist that would design and tattoo.

Moving to Hartford (parkville)

Hello!! I am currently working in Hartford and my commute has gotten to be very long now. I was considering looking into getting an apartment and moving to the Hartford area particularly Parkville. I hear crimes have been rising and I just wanted to get peoples opinions on whether or not it would be a safe area to live in. I am worried about my personal safety as well as my car. So any pointers would be great! My dad and real estate agent have differing opinions on it so I would appreciate any other input from people!

Adult Hockey in/near Hartford

What’s up puck heads? Just moved to Bloomfield two weeks ago and looking for any open hockey or men’s leagues in the area. I’m a broken down 51 year old just looking to get on the ice and maybe find a D or I league to sub in. Last season played was a decade ago so I’ve got no dreams of great things 😜

What’s the best sandwich in Hartford?

Trying to mix up my lunch routine. My go-to is G’s chicken cheesesteak. Top notch ingredients, great bread, made fresh, and reasonably priced. What’s your favorite?

Best resturant for a wedding rehearsal dinner (30ish people)

Getting married in the fall here in Hartford, I don’t know anything about the restaurant scene. Where’s a good place to seat about 30 people? Nothing overly fancy but nothing too cheap?

Job and Real Estate Market for Gen Z

I’m a 25M living in Boston, frustrated by high rents/ COL with somewhat slow career growth at my current company, I feel like I’m going to be squeezed out of MA in the next year or two. I took a look at Zillow for Greater Hartford, and my jaw dropped. It looks like my hopes of owning real estate aren’t completely gone if I head an hour south. What does the market look like for condos in and around Hartford, and what’s the job situation like in the area? This is very hypothetical, but it’s something I’m starting to look into more seriously.

Relying on Uber/Lyft to get from BDL to Providence?

Hello,

My wife and I live in Providence. We will land at BDL airport on the Sunday after Thanksgiving (12/1) at 4pm, and I’m wondering what’s the best way to get to Providence from the airport.

Can I rely on calling an Uber/Lyft upon landing? It seems like it costs $100-125, and I’m prepared for some fluctuation but worried about drivers rejecting our drop-off location. I would have tried Uber’s Reserve function but it doesn’t cover BDL. The Reserve function is available from the Hartford Amtrak Station so I could that.

If Uber/Lyft aren’t reliable, I’ll just do a one-way car rental from BDL to Providence but would prefer to avoid that if possible.

Thank you for your help!
