Brittany and Justin Bedard sipped drinks at the bar inside the Parkville Market shortly after 2 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, killing time before heading to an appointment at nearby Witchhouse Tattoo for romantic body art.
The Bedards, both 30, live in Manchester and run small businesses. Together and separately they’ve repeatedly visited Hartford’s Parkville neighborhood to stop at the market, an alternative arts center, a brewery or to enjoy recreational ax throwing.
