go back and visit someday.

The economic woes of that state have been there for a very long time, all of my life for certain.

There were surely many things I do recall, as well, that made it joy to be there when I was. It is nice to know that many of the industrial cities have cleaned up their act as much as they have. I have heard some good things. I am sure that I was there during the ecological turning point. I have been back to some of the cities I inhabited in southern NH in the past twenty years and was favorably impressed by the changes on some issues and unfavorably impressed in others. But I don't live there anymore so I guess it's not for me to say.

I do have a couple relatives in the region whom I would like to visit again, I'll make sure to make a drive up the coast when I do.

BTW, that isn't my site. I just found it for reference, some of the pictures reminded me of things I had long forgotten.

Thanks for bringing up the subject, though. It was a nice little trip in the "way back" machine for me!!
