Easton, Pennsylvania. The downtown area is a familiar mixture of the old and the tattered, being re-used today for varied uses - all the while only occasionally maintaining a handsome image of the 'old'. Many of the original town-square buildings (the 'Quad') are still standing and, with a little investigation, can be made to refer to their prouder, earlier selves. Although today's world serves them poorly (and vice-versa, I suppose) the old mixture in Easton of the present and the past - industry, craft and utility, is still variously seen - either as foolish abandonment, poor re-use, or an engathered and preserved history. Very interesting, somewhat odd, place - with an interesting history of its own that probably should be more well-known and studied. Posted by Picasa
