Here I am, with OPP’s mascot! Today, Our Piece of the Pie hosted a trunk or treat for its students for Halloween. It’s Nathan Gulley there, under the bear head. Nate is the security guard and resource officer for OPP, and he and I are neighbors in Frog Hollow.
Earlier in the day, OPP hosted a press conference at which state and city politicians announced that they would provide a grant to OPP to create a scalable model based on their Opportunity Academy that could then be replicated around the state.
Caught my eye: a wheelbarrow as planter, the old television antenna (I think).
The front porch, the south gable, the back deck.
The old lights at Sigourney and Asylum in operation. The new lights still under wraps.
Since I was out there, and the leaves were colorful even if the sky was not. Happy Halloween!
Shots are the Salvation Army at 855 Asylum, which was originally an insurance company; soon to be former offices of 839 Asylum, which once upon a time housed a dentist’s office; the cross atop the Cathedral of Saint Joseph; the clock in the steeple at Asylum Hill Congregational Church, a memorial to Roland Mather, one of the wealthiest people to ever live in Hartford; and the future parochial school, once upon a time the Ambassador Hotel, at 765 Asylum.
