Waterbury Travel Guide

As a lifelong resident of Waterbury, I must take exception to the two previous tips. Like any metropolitan area, there are areas of Waterbury that one should take caution when travelling through. However, the incidence of violent crime in the city is lower than in any other CT city. Waterbury is a city of strong neighborhoods and beautiful parks and architecture. The downtown area is home to several Cass Gilbert structures and parks designed by the world-renowned Frederick Law Olsted. Once known as the Brass Center of the world, Waterbury is showing her age. But revitalization efforts are under way to bring the city back to its proud heritage. I challenge anyone to provide valid proof that Waterbury is anywhere near as dangerous as Hartford or New Haven. The statistics just don't support the accusation.
