Last weekend’s snowstorm reminded longtime residents of the Old Days.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a winter like this.
When we did, artist Al Willmott painted them.
In 1994, he was on the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridge. Not much has changed (though the trolley was poetic license).

Nearly 2 decades earlier — in 1978 — he painted Railroad Place. It looks a bit different today — not the streetscape, but the businesses.
