This reflection is in the window of a building on Ann Uccello Street in downtown Hartford.
Ann Uccello was elected mayor of Hartford in 1967, the first woman to be elected mayor in Hartford and the first in Connecticut. Heck, she was the first woman elected mayor of any major American city. Ms. Uccello turned 90 years old earlier this year.

I'm glad Ann Ucello has a street to remember her fabulous life and fights, and victories .Great reflection to illustrate the tribute!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel good that a street was named for her. 1967??? That is quite an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteYour reflections are always so cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection.
ReplyDeletevery nice reflection!
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflection for the day, Jack!! A great tribute to a great woman! Hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection, Jack!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the different materials.
Lovely reflection. Go Ann!
ReplyDeleteThe colour are awesome on your picture ! I like the framing in brick red ; it give a very soft tone to the reflection...
ReplyDeleteAnother super reflection, Jack!
ReplyDeleteNicely framed!
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection Jack! 1967 was a good year for me too. My birth year. :)
ReplyDeleteJack, that's a fine reflection, but a better story about Ann Ucello. I didn't know about here being a Midwesterner.
ReplyDeleteFabulous capture!
ReplyDeleteKudos to Ms. Ucello! May she have many more happy years!
ReplyDeleteCool reflection.
Nice to see you're back. Hope the principals are off to a lifetime of wedded bliss!
Nice looking reflection.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you back Jack, we missed you, it sounds like you've had a wonderful couple of weeks with the wedding, family and friends, precious times! As much as I love your reflections today, I'm a little distracted by the thought of you in lycra haha!
ReplyDeleteA perfect reflection! Good on Ms. Uccello for being a "first" woman. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to hear about pioneering women like her.
Great composition and very beautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteLove the brick work!
Thanks for sharing, Jack!

Have a nice weekend****
I didn't know of this great lady...
ReplyDeleteAwesome reflections. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteI like the tone-on-tone here.
ReplyDeleteAnn Uccello must be quite a pistol. There weren't many women elected to offices beyond high school secretary in those days.
Great capture Jack - the tone on tone and marvellous mix of angles is very pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing the history too. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo and the importance of what you post with everything going on in our government lays heavy in my heart and head.
