Emotionally weary or hardened. A combination of heartache and shopworn. Conceived in 1978 for the film Heartworn Highways by Phillip Schopper, editor. The film was originally titled "New Country" and was selected and appeared in LA's Filmex under that title. The title was changed for general release.
"We were searching for a title that was more on target and descriptive of the effect of the film and 'heartworn' came to me. Nearly all these songs spoke of heartaches that had been well traveled and I pictured them as worn, like tires and old boots -- well used and been there before." --phillip schopper

Get the heartworn mug.An eclectic town within Greater Hartford lined with million dollar mansions in the Mountain Road area and more marginal housing in the Elmwood area.
Good public and private schooling, many kids graduate and become lawyers and doctors while many others opt for more non-traditional artistic careers.
West Hartford center has excellent dining and nightlife options, though people who prefer dive bars or seedy night clubs may find themselves disappointed.
I'VE LIVED IN GREENWICH, and I can honestly say that West Hartford is a better place to live. First of all, most people who live in Greenwich, or anywhere in Fairfield county, pay upwards of 500K for a house that looks like an old shanty w/ a tiny yard. That doesn't stop those people from feeling like they are amongst the upper crust of society...inherited money can have that affect on some people, I suppose. Also, unlike Greenwich, there is a lot of diversity in West Hartford, it's not just white kids w/ large adam's apples, lobster embroidered shorts, and a displaced sense of entitlement.
Overall, it's a town similar to most places, there are good and bad people, it just comes down to what you make of it. People who find themselves on the receiving end of social rejections will define the townspeople negatively, so take it with a grain of salt.

WEST HARTFORD RESIDENT: Why were you bragging about living in Fairfield County when your house looks like a dumpster with windows?
FAIRFIELD COUNTY RESIDENT: I don't know, brosky, my family inherited money so we feel classy.

Capital city of Connecticut. Abandoned after 5pm when all the insurance company workers take their daily white flight back to Farmington, Glastonbury, and Avon, where they are far less likely to get shot or carjacked. Hartford is a city so sad that it lost its one professional sports team when Whalers hockey left. A city so sad that *I* had to be the first one to define it. If it wasn't for the Wadsworth Atheneum or the insurance companies it wouldn't be on the map.
Me and my UConn friends go to Hartford on Saturday night to bar hop. Make sure you avoid the north end unless you want to get jumped.
