West Hartford Center in the morning

West Hartford Center is a shopping, dining and hanging-around destination for central Connecticut and western Massachusetts. 

To the west is the original center, part of which is shown here.  To the east is a two-year old mixed use extension of the center, called Blue Back Square. 
In mid-day, the center is busy, and in the evening the lure of dozens of good restaurants means that it is so packed that parking spaces are scarce. 

But, early on a weekday morning, the center is peaceful and sleepy.
