Photography & Life in New England

I would visit many of the great places in Worcester and Worcester County that were “the places to go”…. Preferably back in the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s… memorable times, that should not be forgotten. “Mom and Pop” stores and restaurants were the best…now everything is chain and corporate America….. ugh! I got on this rant because I stopped and took photos this morning of the Edgemere Diner and the photos did not do it justice for it’s glory days back in the 40’s and 50’s… It needed to look a bit special again and the only way was to turn it into a sketch type photo. It must have been a beautiful shiny Art Deco Diner in it’s time. Imagine everyone back in the day, men wearing their hats in the 40’s, girls with their poodle skirts in the 50’s. These thoughts make me smile when I pass by the diner now. Heck I am not even old enough to remember those times but still appreciate them.
  

I am adding a link for more info on Places of Worcester’s Past here and on the Local links page…. enjoy!
