Goodyear

Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, CT  2017

Charles Goodyear is prominently displayed in the Mattatuck Museum.  I learned that Goodyear developed the process for vulcanizing rubber right here in Connecticut.  The portrait below is actually painted on rubber.

Phone Booth

Waterbury, CT  2017

Waterbury is known as "The Brass City" and once was the home of a thriving manufacturing industry.   I guess it's only fitting that a totally brass phone booth was made.  Little of the manufacturing remains in Waterbury today, much like phone booths.

President's Day 2017

Waterbury, CT  2017

I thought it was an appropriate day to post a photo of our first president.  This is on display at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury.  I wonder what George would think about the current state of affairs in US politics today.

Only In Connecticut....

Waterbury, CT  2015

One never knows what one will find on drives through Connecticut.  This statue seems like it should be somewhere on a Pacific island, and not looking out over I-84 in Waterbury.
