Black is Beautiful

by Laurel | January 16th, 2012

Another of my father’s photographs, scanned from a slide. However this one doesn’t have the location penciled on the slide frame. I remember driving past this place often, the problem is I can’t remember the location — was it in Holyoke or Northampton? Circa 1971-1972. Anyone know?
