@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.

Isn't it interesting that we see pictures of German and Italian immigrants but no Japanese? A real comment on the times.
