Since the beginning, Real Hartford has aimed to show Hartford in its natural lighting. We don’t have a history of showing up only when someone has been murdered or when there have been murmurs of political corruption. We have been, ever since day once, in the city’s various neighborhoods, on any given day. That’s easy to do when the creators live here.

In Your Neighborhood is a recurring photo series that involves us walking or biking through a different section of the city. It shows what is — whether it casts Hartford in a positive light or not.

Why walking or biking? How can you take in the surroundings while moving fast and in a separated space?
