The alarm is still connected, and it’s sending out a low battery alert – or maybe it’s caught on that the emergency door to the former studios and offices of Hartford Public Access Television, which is off the main stairwell, is not only unlocked but also ajar.  Naturally, I had to go in!

I spent the day with Jonathan Clark today.  We were creating new videos for his walking tour, which I’ll hope to edit and post before the end of the year.  Jonathan has been a longstanding tour guide for NINA, starting back before COVID, when we used to do these tours in person.

His walking tour always included a stop at his house, 102 Huntington Street, where he lived for 44 years, until he donated his house to NINA.  Today the stop was a bit more nostalgic for him, as he had an opportunity to see the work NINA has done to date.

Their painting tent and spray painter.  Fresh Start has grown remarkably since it first began, and their website is worth a look if you’re in the market for wood products.

The front porch is being framed.  No work yet on the back deck, but photos are included for the perspective on the back door and the former basement door.
