It started in the kitchen of Pepper Ridge Farm by a mother who's child had health problems due to lack of nutrition. She learned how to bake whole wheat bread for him. The pediatrician was impressed with the bread and her son's improvements, so he started prescribing it for his patients. She grew it into a successful business.

Correct. Young people move to cities for jobs. But they want jobs near where they can have fun, and get there easily. That's why business were leaving. They need young talent because boomers and Gen x are retiring. Hartford just isn't conducive to any of it, and now covid has thrown in a curveball; changing habits and ways of working. We need to study what cities are still thriving and come up with a plan. But then there is the challenge of financing it.
