Springfield

Resumen del Libro

Images of America: Springfield Volume I gave readers a photographic history of the city’s ethnic populations and religions. It also told the story of education and public service in the “City of Firsts.” In Springfield Volume II, author Ginger Zabecki Cruickshank takes readers on a second journey through the past to the origins of the city’s many businesses, transportation systems, and social agencies, such as the YMCA and local hospitals that have served the people of Springfield, as well as some of the best sports stories in the city’s history. The stories and early photographs of well-known companies including Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, Friendly’s Ice Cream Corporation, and Merriam-Webster are shown in this striking volume. All have roots in Springfield, as do Milton Bradley and Smith & Wesson. The famous Knox automobiles and the Peter Pan Bus Company are brought to life with other stories in the fascinating development of transportation in the area. As the city has adapted and grown with the population and changing economic times, it has built a tradition of citizens succeeding despite great obstacles. It is that tradition that has made the city what it is today.

Yo mujer

No fue consciente. Observar la luz y sus gestos tomaron peso con el tiempo. Siempre estuvieron cerca direccionando los afectos y las carencias. Aglutinaron emociones hasta llegar a esto. Las que quise, las que admiré. Las mujeres que me retaron, las que me gustó como se reían. La mujer que me dio la vida. La que parecía inalcanzable porque salía en la tele, y era tan buena actriz que me hipnotizaban sus maneras. La que iba caminando y me hizo recordar a mi abuela que ya no está. Entonces empezaron a juntarse los negativos, acumulando polvo con el tiempo violento que no avisa que pasa...
