Today’s morning walk did have a mission, to buy my monthly bus pass at the train station.
I usually walk down Summer Street to its end. Today I changed the route and crossed over to Franklin Street. At the end of Franklin is UCONN On the right and a little park on the left.
They have planted a vegetable garden in the middle of Downtown Stamford. It is such a joy to see. I will be monitoring the garden all summer and will report back on its progress.
I then walked down Washington Blvd to the train station. I passed 677 Washington Blvd
These are seats I believe in front of the building.
A little history. My first full time job was at that location at the old Italian Center. My daughter also had her first full time job at UBS. She followed in our footsteps. She also moved to Europe as my wife moved from Europe to Stamford.
Anyway, this is a photo of those same chairs ten minutes earlier. I was struck by the bottle design and had to investigate. It certainly did not look like a two buck chuck wine bottle
I would love to know the story behind the Cognac bottle. Was it two lovers celebrating? Was it Someone down on the luck saying what the hell
This is one reason why I walk. I never know what I will encounter. However, I know there will always be something, and it will be interesting.
Finally, I am writing this blog on the train back to Stamford, I had walked from Jackson Heights Queens to Flushing Queens. I walked from a Hispanic neighborhood to an Asian neighborhood.
There is such variety in the Northeast.
