All About

Wow, who knew you could get so much knowledge for just 35 cents!



Just a few months ago the woodland way I walk into downtown looked like this.



Now it looks like a big green jungle.

Poetic observation in downtown Northampton.



Weird image in a Hamp window.



Big blooming beauty near my house.

I used to live right by there on Dresden Street, in a scene where no law of God nor Man applied. Another Springfield fixture falling into ruin - Silvano's. It was a favorite of mobsters and corrupt politicians.

In the past Northampton was captivated by a woman with a different ideology.
