Great photos for sure. Didn't the Connecticut company run every streetcar system in the state?
Thanks for the shots David, looks like it was a fun ride and a good time was had by all.
I'm fascinated by that great-looking Forbes Avenue diner, any idea if it's still around? They just don't make 'em like that anymore!
No, I just looked, it's not there anymore, it was replaced in 1957 with a stainless steel Fodero diner, which isn't there anymore either, it's now in Salisbury. There's a Dunkin' Donuts on the site now. I don't have a problem with DD but I'd prefer that neat old diner!
And that's a nice picture of your parents. I can see in their faces how proud they were of that fine young son they were raising.
