When I first say this house, I noticed only the color scheme (I like it) and general shape of it. Some of the vegetation looks like it has seen better days, but those who live here obviously take some care of the property. The lawn is not lush, but it’s not a pile of dirt, nor is it covered in trash. In my neighborhood, there are a few properties where the front yard actually is one of those things, or a combination of the two. One spot is just dirt with some random bricks strewn about, and another property is basically the owner’s trash fenced in. The prior is lazy and seemingly unaware of how plants help discourage erosion; the latter is disgusting, as I have heard from others that he or his guests have been caught urinating through their fence, onto others’ property. The home in this picture, however, is a happy middle-of-the-road dwelling. Nothing is terribly overgrown. The roof and chimney appear to be in good shape. Sure, the two windows on the first level look bizarre, but the shutters are not peeling away from the side of the house. More proof that while lazy slobs do live in Hartford, so do people with self-respect and a sense of pride.
