Bloomfield, Connecticut

Bloomfield is a townish place located directly north of Hartford, Connecticut, which explains a lot. It has a population of, I don't know, 18K? There used to be a cool diner there called A.C.Petersen Farms, but it got torn down and now it's a Rite Aid or a CVS or something. That's sort of terrible -- it's kind of a mini version of tearing down Connecticut General to build a golf course, which is sort of a mini version of the entire story of Connecticut.

History
Bloomfield was founded in 1944 by Samoan immigrants who intended to build a 30-story glass church to worship their god, God.

Nah, just kidding. Bloomfield was founded back when the rest of New England was founded, and there are some brick houses and white churches from the Olden Days and junk there.

There is a hardware store in the center of Bloomfield that has changed hands like 50 times in the last 25 years, and a bunch of gas stations and a movie theater. Also, Wintonbury mall. Bloomfield used to be called Wintonbury, or maybe vice versa -- no one is really sure, except for some dorks I bet.

Bloomfield was an All-America city in the 1970s, because it was so racially harmonious. Naturally, as soon as someone pointed this out all the white people freaked out and by the early 1990s every white family that could afford to had pulled their kids out of the schools. This is pretty funny if you ask me -- "Congratulations on having such ethnic diversity in your public schools!" "Thanks a lot! It really means a lot that -- wait, what? Uh, I have to make a phone call..." This is the reason that Henry Quinn hates white people and thinks they're pretty much all racist.
