It was so good to be able to watch the little train delivering families from one side of town to the other, and to see so many people strolling around the old Courthouse, booth and window shopping and dining. It was the one time that fear of getting run over didn't have to hamper shoppers and visitors. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
