Photos I have taken...........
Enjoy my photos, any questions please feel free to email me: Aktie9@Aol.com all of my photos are also links to webpages I like or find useful.
This photo was taken earlier this winter by my husband Sean (seanbahn@aol.com) This place was once an junky Chinese eatery/bar here in town. Once called Kee Loon. It is no longer and people all over are finding out that Chinese food is actually good if purchased from a real restaurant.

The old Town Hall.....now office buildings.

Northborough Town Hall 2001
Actually this used to be the town hall in Northborough, MA 01532. Unfortunetely this beautiful building no longer is owned by the town.
One day hopefully the current owner will sell it back. (long story) In 1987 or thereabouts this building burnt down pretty much to the foundation.
(another long story) It was eventually rebuilt, though it has taken some serious years as being an eyesore, until it was completed. For a long period of time it was rubble, and then another longer time it was a building site. Finally it took shape, and eventually became the glorious sight it is now.
I remember when it burnt down, because that evening it was a hot summer night, the kind you wake up and want to go swimming because it was so hot, and humid out. My parents were awake and let me and my sister go swimming in the pool. IIRC, we heard fire trucks, and saw flames in the sky. The building was ablaze and pieces of the bricks were later found in our pool. I remember riding my bike down town to
see the building the next day, and even snagging a piece of the brick. I can remember picking it up, the shape of the brick...and the colour, but to this day I don't know where I ever put the brick. I had it for some time in a drawer..but it must have gotten lost. I think at one point I took it to school and showed it in my writing class. This photo, I took July 1st 2001. I took it after a thunderstorm blew through the center of town. The sky was pink, blue and purple. It's hard to see but the sky is reflected in the windows. If you would like to see the original picture email me for a copy.

My Mother and Stepfather

Oh well better luck next time. |
