| Summary |
Between the early years of the 20th century and the 1960s, Hartford's North End underwent many changes. Yet the fundamentals remained untouched. Growing up in the neighborhood was a uniquely memorable experience as the many contributors to this book attest. Although most residents were poor, their lives were rich with friends, family, and community. Memories of synagogues and churches, kosher butchers and corner drugstores, Albany and Blue Hills Avenues, Keney Park, Weaver High School, and the Lenox Theater have been resurrected in this collection of tender stories and wonderful images of Hartford's North End. |
