Can someone share this location in Hartford? I'd like to see how it looks today.

This is just on the other side of the river. Unfortunately the whole downtown city area was broken up by a major highway.

"the whole downdown city area was broken up by a major highway" - seems pretty standard for a US city

I feel you. We have decent train services in Europe, also city centers

Yeah, you’re right of course. It’s a shame because the location is beautiful and it does have its charm…but it’s not the safest town so other than speeding through, there is no reason to stop.

Afraid the best I could offer is reverse image search; I grabbed this pic a l-o-o-ng time ago, and don't remember where I found it at the time.
