The Farmington Asylum Business Alliance
what ever name they go by are not to be trusted.
They mostly live on Oxford Street and are house wifes that don't have any businesses in Hartford's westend, yet have manged to take control of the bussiness district. They have screwed up the Westend Business area with there ideas of business. The crime in Hartford west end is on the rise, businesses are being forced to close at sunset so they won't get robbed. Everyone knows if you walk around here after dark you most likey to get mugged. Also Parking on Sisson Ave after dark your car will get broken into, so don't park there.
Hartford's West End, located just outside of downtown of Hartford, is now home to a retail business center that is in decline, and now Hartford's newest slums aka the west end slums. The Farmington Asylum Business Alliance has done a great job in destroying business here. It was once a special place and now associated with murder and mugings. If you want to open a business don't do it here. The only business that's here is drugs and crime.

There is so much crime in the Hartford's west end that it has become an everyday occurrence. The west end went from having no police stationed here to three. Police sirens are now so often heard on Farmington Ave, that they have become normal. People that live and work here are so used to hearing sirens, you notice when you are away from Hartford's west end, that the quiet seems abnormal. Walking in the west end business district in the late afternoon, or at dust in to the night, you will get hit up for money, lose change, and has that scarey feeling that you are in the wrong place. The newly add bus stop has made a great haven for pan handling. Its hard to tell who is waiting for the bus and who there to pan handle. The Bus Stop also is a favorite place to hang and have a drink from the famous brown bag. On your way by don't forget to ask for a hit. The West End Alliance wanted to make it just like West Hartford center, it's more like a mirror image, where West Hartford center is safe and business is brisk, Hartford west end is the opposite. Hartford's West End was a better place before the West End Alliance got involved. None of the Businesses here want them involved or belong to their "gang".
