Back in the Day

January 19, 2012

A friend of my dad’s sent this photo from the Penobscot Marine Museum. It’s the street I grew up on, from way back in the day!

Now it looks more like this. There are a lot fewer trees on the street, and the road is paved. I wonder what they were doing with that step ladder near the tree? And I wonder who those kids are?!

You can see more here!

    I loved seeing this old photo of the street! The trees lend a certain charm to it.

      Isn’t it funny? Looks so different! I can even remember it looks different than 20 years ago. We used to have apple trees! Now we have full grown birch. Time flies!

    Dear Emily,

    Thanks for writing a great blog! I like the variety of your posts. I am also from Maine and still live here. I grew up on Cushing Island in Casco Bay.
    I visited Dublin in 2005, did the typical tour (Guinness brewery, Trinity College, etc.) but didn’t really get to discover the cool stuff you don’t hear about.
    Questions: Are you an artist, too? How did you gain attention and sponsorship for your blog? How did your agreement to contribute to poppytalk come about?

    I am just getting started with my blog, working as an artist, networking, etc., so any insight would be really helpful!

    Have a lovely day!

    Cheers,
    Becky
