West Hartford Mural

This is a mural in the West Hartford Trader Joe's store. I think the idea is to show some of the local sites. I hate to point out to Trader Joe's (a great West Hartford store) that almost every single thing in this picture is from some other town - not West Hartford. With the exception of the Noah Webster House (where our greatest resident resided), all of those other things are in a place called "Hartford" somewhere off to the east of West Hartford. Mark Twain, his house, Elizabeth Park, the Colt Dome, the Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Arch, the Hartford Carousel: those things are in "Hartford", where most of us try not to venture. We don't really understand what all of those things from another town are doing on a mural with the words West Hartford stretched across it...certainly they could have found some good landmarks from West Hartford to paint up there!! I mean, there are plenty of good buildings featured right here on this very blog that would look GREAT right up there on the wall of Trader Joe's. Oh well their loss!
