My dad sent these photos a while back of the small town I grew up in. Show of hands: Who thinks he should go back and take photos of these same places to compare what they look like now, 100 years later?

yes, pa bowden should go back and take some pics!
Yes, he should definitely do it! There are entire books that go with that concept of “then” and “now” photos (maybe the postcards aren’t HIS photos, but still!).
Sent a few photos on your e-mail if you would like more let me know
ENJOY CAMPING and watch out for ticks
Dad
I live in this town.
Love the photos. I grew up in New London in the 50′s and 60′s. Any way I could get copies?
