Took a ride on my Hercules today with my new cheapo camera. I ended up in the center of my town, Colchester Ct. I figured I'd snap some pics.
This is Bacon Academy which opened in 1803. It is no longer a school but now serves as the town museum.
The Federated Church across from the Town Green.
The Town Green.
The 'Cruise to the Green' is a car show that happens the second Wednesday of rvery month from April thru October. If you live in Ct. check it out. Its one of the best in the state.
This is the base of the town Christmas Tree. That conduit is for the lights. Every year they have a tree lighting celabration with a bonfire, hot chocolate, cider, popcorn and a skating rink, weather permitting. The highlight is when Santa arrives in a fire engine festooned in Christmas lights.
Just down the road is 'Harry's', a cool little drive in restaurant tha's been around for like 80 years. I'm serious. It's a neat place to go especially on 'Cruise to the Green' night. It looks like something out of American Graffitti or something. I highly reccomend the fried calamari.
Fore! A mile or so down the road is Chanticlair golf course. My son is in the same Cub Scout den as the owner's son. I should take up golf.
A mile or two from there is the town dump and this crazy junk yard with all these very old cars. I saw some, I mean I heard there were some from as far back as the 20's. I wouldn't have seen them cause the sign says keep out and I wouldn't go snooping around. :roll:
Honest, I wouldn't.
