Lowell, MA photos in the Last Weeks in December 2021 and 2014.

Ron, owner at RRRecords, Central Street. Several years ago, he bought quite a few records from my husband and me. Mostly early rock, which I now wish I hadn't gotten rid of. When I stopped in recently, he said he remembered that day.

St. Joseph, The Worker Shrine 1965

Bridge Street above.

Bridge St., Centralville district. CVS is on the left and Dunkin Donuts on the right.

Old fire station, now a restaurant, and various businesses.

Merrimack Street.

The above and two below were taken on Dec. 26, 2014.
