Think of a story from your neighborhood over the past weekend. Anything happen?
Not much, maybe. Somebody's dog got loose. You walked a couple of blocks over and watched the first half of the UConn game with some friends. In the warmth of Sunday, you watched your neighbors sweeping and raking away the winter debris and felt guilty that you and your kid were in the backyard playing the spring's first game of catch instead of working.
The stories of Hartford aren't that different, even though people picked up the newspaper this morning a read a front page story of a tragic shooting. Most Hartford stories are about life and love and health and sickness and trying to make a go of it.
It's weird and a little sad, actually, that we have to dedicate a show to making this point -- the stories of Hartford normalcy just aren't part of most people's Hartford narrative.
