I don’t know where the plaque is located, but I hear they have been gradually reducing its bronze content in favor of a thinner plaque supplemented by an inefficient, difficult-to-use led screen. Also they outsourced polishing duties to a non-union contractor.
I’ll follow that up with: State street to the riverfront was a bustly place back in the day when the ships were coming in. I’m going with that general area, though I don’t remember the plaque and can’t be more specific.

Comment of the week award right there, and it’s only Monday.

Right? I don’t even care now if anybody guesses where this plaque is. That’s how good of a comment that was.

Has to be downtown because in 1764 that’s pretty much all there was to Hartford. Don’t recall seeing the plaque, though.
Kerri Provost
It is downtown.
Here’s a hint: It’s not on a wall.
Jane
Is it somewhere near the riverfront?

Impressive reasoning, but I’d say it’s in a more dead area, rather than a bustly (or busty, as I misread it) place.
Jane
Ha! Where do the Beat Street Beauties rehearse? Just kidding. I give up!
Kerri Provost
Actually, I think the Beat City Beauties might’ve done part of a photo shoot really close to this plaque.

Seem to remember something like that near Center Church, the Ancient Cemetery? Might be mistaking it for something different…
Kerri Provost
Got it!
It’s on the sidewalk in front of the Ancient Burying Ground, next to Center Church.
