Dr. Chester Hunt Office
Imagine Hunting For Your Appointment Here Dr. Chester Hunt Office Windham I'd been holding onto my pictures and "story" of this building for at least a decade.

Rick Nicita Gallery & Cinema Archives
NiceTaSeeya Nicita, if Only for a Minute Middletown (Google Maps location) February 20, 2016 How many words can I possibly write about this tiny little place? Movies. Film. Cinema.

Potsdam Cottages
Where There's Huy, There's Hope Potsdam Cottages Hartford Aside from Fishfry Street in Hartford, my favorite street names are those down around Coltsville.
