"Shopperstown USA" Resurfaces



This Touraine sign saw the light of day once again after the demolition of the Quincy Fair Mall. Touraine's, opened for business in 1949 and sold woman's apparel at its Hancock Street location for about 30 years until malls lured shoppers away from the city.

I wonder if the Historical Society will procure and preserve this piece of Quincy's history.

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
