Faces of Torrington

The main street of Torrington was blocked off for a street fair, so I parked and walked through.


This singer was giving his all for a syrupy love song.


Krawdaddy has a New Orleans music show on Torrington's community radio station, 
WAPJ (89.9 FM), and Joel's show is called Unhinged.


I almost signed up for a subscription to the local newspaper to reward a woman who could
wear a balloon hat without looking embarrassed.


Kathy had a booth selling clothes.


And Herman was a Seabee in the Navy.
