Its July 5 and the streets of Springfield are empty as the townspeople enjoy the long weekend. The 4th of July flags are still flying as a DM&E westbound passes through town.
Springfield Armory Museum, Springfield Massachusetts.
The Springfield Armory was established in 1777, at the request of George Washington and Henry Knox, to build weapons for the United States military. Another armory was established in Harper's Ferry Virginia. Harper's Ferry Armory was destroyed in the Civil War and was never rebuild. The Springfield Armory was the major source of American weapons until it was closed in 1968.
The square at the center of the armory. The buildings were originally part of the armory and are now part of Springfield Technical Community College. Today was the first day where the the trees were showing masses of green leaves.

Springfield Barnes - the former farm run by David Fleming; in the 1960s the meadows would be full of Fresian dairy cattle, only about a mile from Chelmsford town centre. Behind the trees on the left was the former Post Office Telephones depot which housed all the olive green vehicles.
The Fleming family also took over the watermill from the Marriage family in 1918 and the family also owned the nearby Prentices Farm and Horns Farm the land of which now comprises Chelmer Village.
Traveled to Boston to attend baby sister’s graduation from Springfield College. While there I did a mini photo shoot with her in Springfield to celebrate her accomplishment and was able to get a little sightseeing in as well. Pictured here is the view from our hotel room.

When I was in high school in Springfield, Oregon, which was longer ago than I care to think about, cars like this were THE thing for the cool kids... one of which I was not.
Last week I visited my home town, and the same style of cars, in the same not-quite-running condition, continue to beautify driveways and side yards around the same neighborhoods.
I have no doubt that if I were to knock on the door of the house and ask the owner what he intended to do with this car, I'd get the same response I heard throughout my high school years: it just needs a little work and some wheels and tires and it will be worth a lot of money.
Other than the new construction, row after row of identical rental townhouses, this place is like some kind of weird Twilight Zone, forever stuck in the late 1970s.
First Presbyterian Church of Springfield and historical marker. Founded in 1745. Historical plaque and statue in memorial to the Battle of Springfield during the War for American Independence.
Used by Napoleon Russell (the architect & builder) for his ad in "Picturesque Views Along the Lines of the Springfield Street Railway", published in 1899. pg.182. The ad read:" NOW TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Come & buy a good house & be happy together, or go & buy a cheap house & be sorry forever."

October 9's WHAT it is Wednesday was a cobbler's bench, used for shoemaking and repair. (The miniature version was a handcrafted piece in a frontier diorama scene that we were working on yesterday). We wanted to give you some tidbits from the museum and archives that represent the many many shoe stores and shoe repair shops that were in Springfield. Around 1950 there were FOURTEEN shoe stores in downtown Springfield alone! The 1949 Bill Swonger downtown models on the first floor of the museum show quite of few of those places. Models represented in the collage photo here: Nisley Shoe Company (in the Arcade), Patsiavos Shoe Repair (26 W. Main and Foster), and Dohan Shoes (15 E. Main Street). The last shoe place to leave the downtown was Carmen's Shoe Salon (24 E. Main) in 2000. Also in today's shoe related collage: a full-sized cobbler's bench from our collections, trade cards and ads from George Horner, P. O'Toole and Starkey & Scowden (in the Arcade), a birthday card and sign from Nisley Shoes, a postcard of their location in the Arcade, Nisley's arcade entrance, and the Nisley sign by Mattie Guthries just before the Arcade demolition. You can also see Christ Patsiavos' shoe shaped shoe repair place on the corner of N. Limestone and College, along with the Cat's Meow of the memorable building. In the top right corner of the collage is a picture of the Sterling Shoe Repair building that was located on the spot where Memorial Hall later stood at 300 W. Main Street.
