What's the matter with those people? Didn't they have any internets???

The big sheet in the middle column mentions Winston Churchill bidding the Italian people to "oust Mussolini," their fascist dictator. He made that speech on December 23, 1940. During the 1950s and 60s my mother worked here at the Enterprise, writing articles for the social pages. I went inside the building a few times to see her, but in 1959 went in on my own to read an essay I wrote on WBET, the newspaper's radio station.

Please see stumblng.tumblr.com/post/23944336, where I've written a mini-essay on a related photo.

I am so obsesed with the LOC's photo stream

I remember as a kid, I used to see this and people gatherd th read some of the headlines that would appear in the paper! The Brockton Enterprise had been sold out to the the ledger. The Enterprise does not belong to the people of Brockton anymore!

It appears that the house at the end of the street is the building in the next photo.

before all the elms died

And evidently right after the streetcars were massacred.

Such a neat winter scene and could even remind one of Holland. A time where people had more time to do things like ice skate on frozen lakes instead of playing video games inside.
