 100 DAYS OF CENTRAL MASS FEATURES HARTFORD - CITIES TO WORK IN

Day 87, can you believe it?  We are almost to the end of our 100 Days of Central Mass series...time to start thinking of some new topics.  The next few posts will feature all of the major cities that are close to Central Mass, a great commuter location.

Harford, CT is the capital city of Connecticut and a place that many of our locals commute to for work.  Hartford is the "Insurance Capital of the World" housing most of the world's insurance company headquarters.  Located on the Connecticut River, Hartford covers an area of 18 square miles, 17.3 that are on land and 0.7 that covers water.  Hartford is amongst the oldest cities, close to 400 years old.  A charming New England city and a great place to work.

At the Big E in Springfield a few weeks ago I met a gentleman with a station setup selling K Cups for the Keurig coffee brewing stations.  I just received one of these great machines from some clients we sold a house to, and I love it.  I've been looking everywhere for the hot cocoa K cups so I figured I'd stop by and see if he had any.  He didn't have them on site, but he handed me a coupon to visit his company website where I could order them and receive them in 1-2 business days.  If you have one of these great machines and are looking for all different types of K cups, give their site a try: http://www.coolbeanspods.com.  I did a little shopping around on some other sites before coming back to this one where I knew I would be getting the best deal.  They sent me a free Cool Beans mug that I've been using at my son's early morning soccer games.  I accidentally put in the incorrect billing address when ordering and it showed up as 2 pending charges on my bank account even though one order had been declined.  I emailed customer support and received lightening fast responses.  I would highly recommend their site if you're in the market to fill your office Keurig station or your Keurig Mini at home.  Great service, great products!
