Thanks For Reading BLOG Number TWO-Have a GREAT Weekend!
OK folks, to have five people as of 7:00 am this rainy Friday hit me with a post on my first blog( I posted last night ) is overwhelming as I have checked a few blogs out on this Register Citizen site and five is a great start!
Note: Today's SOUND OFF, also found in the paper, has a little error and believe you me, I make LOTS of them.
it talks about a CIGNA light, i really think they meant to say SIGNAL LIGHT :-)
This has to be YOUR place as well,not just mine!
I ask you to ask me what are YOUR concerns these days?
But remember, I am NOT the guy that tried to become mayor,that is Tim Driscoll.
No, we can not change the gasoline prices nor attempt to.
Maybe you can tell me more about Rock Street,in the 1950's, how you had a place to make booze back in your basement back circa 1960's which helped pay your twenty five cent gallon of gas?
Or maybe tell me about your favorite walk through STAR"S with the popcorn popping and the Christmas trees out front?
A drink at Benny Nero's in the 1970's or being a hanger at Alvord Park and or the Brass Mill Dam when us kids did not beat up on people for no darn reason!
Or walking through that narrow alley-way to a place us kids jammed music at in Litchfield in the early 1970's. what was it called?
If you are from out of state, please let me know. Again I end by saying this is all new to me BUT
when I wrote in the paper with what was called " Mike's Memories " I do know that many of the readers were seniors. Would also like to hear from them!
Have a pleasant weekend and God willing we will talk soon!
Today I ask you to remember Glenn Carlson, great guy from Norfolk Conn whom died young!
We will end everyday,remembering someone,Peace,MD

Glad to see you writing about Torrington of yesteryear. I will check in on your blog daily.
Hey Mike;
Remember hanging at Alvord Park or Brass Mill Dam....at no point did we ever get the crazy notion to go break into houses because we knew our parents would have our heads. Weren't those days much easier...I wouldn't want to be a teen again, it's too darned complicated!!
mike, this is great, looking forward to all the great stories, talk to you soon fredo
