I remember the days when Aetna (the predecessor to CVS) was instrumental in rebuilding downtown Hartford. The Civic Center . Cityplace . And much more.
I live in the same building as the CVS. It’s more than your suburban CVS, it’s a place where residents can pick up a drink or snack between catching buses on the way home. It quickly became a dependable place to go when downtown. It’s such a shame that CVS/Aetna seems to be abandoning Hartford.
If you do get a chance, walk into the 777 Main St. CVS. The original lighting is still in place and if you’re old enough, you can picture a row of bank tellers attending to your needs…
