    "Some people are friendly or not friendly and beware of police and they like to be noisy around. Some houses are pretty to look at and some other are not so great. That is my opinion. Wethersfield is too close to city of Hartford. Fun places go shopping in Newington or Glastonbury. Food are pretty good thank you. "
