Steve Baldwin is the gift that keeps on giving.
In the 1960s he took tons of photographs, all around town. Now he posts them on Facebook.

Except back then:
Connecticut National Bank had not been gobbled up in successive waves of takeovers.
And the Minute Man stood proudly over the time and temperature sign, which …
… Actually worked.
