Have I mentioned how much I love the parking ban? I know that it can be a royal pain but I could never capture a scene such as this with cars parked along Washington Street. The absence of cars removes much of the dating that can happen with photographs and allows the viewer to imagine this street as it was ten, twenty or a hundred years ago. Only by looking at the signs such as Mahri, Candy Pop Sweet Shoppe, O’Ramas, or Captn’s Bakery can you place this scene as belonging to December 2012. The stores of Old Town make for a great destination any time of the year. Take a stroll down and Keep it Local this weekend.
