    @pennylrichardsca: Excellent contrast from then to today, thanks for the pic! You can still see the Southington News building there behind "Dominic's Men's Shop", and it looks like the same house just to the left of it. Very nice.

    After the war the photographer worked for Fortune magazine, and later gave up professional photography to become a chef in Vermont.

    Ciao, sono amministratore di un gruppo chiamato Italian migration. Ci farebbe piacere aggiungere l’elemento al gruppo.

An American town and its way of life, Southington, Conn. The Memorial Day parade moving down the main street. The small number of spectators is accounted for by the fact that the town's war factories did not close. The town hall is in the left foreground.

    This same intersection, today. Academy and Main Sts. The building must be (or have been) Town Hall?
