Technically, the title should read “Trim & a Haircut” since I only have my beard trimmed, but… OK, what’s so important about my trip to the barber? My barber is on Franklin Ave. Franklin Ave merges with Maple Ave. in the South End of Hartford. Franklin Ave. as been under construction lately and I decided to avoid the congested detour by taking Maple Ave all the way into Hartford (to pick up my friend. To go to breakfast at the place with the potatoes, bacon and eggs I shared yesterday). Of course, on the way to pick up my friend, I noticed some doors.
Most of the doors are ordinary retail and residential structures. The only photos I looked into were those of
St. Augustine Parish was established in August 1902 with Fr. Michael Barry appointed as its first pastor. At that time, a church building had not yet been constructed so Mass was offered at the Washington Street School until a basement chapel was completed in 1903. The current Romanesque-style church was completed in 1912 and dedicated by Bishop John J. Nilan of the then Diocese of Hartford in June of that year. By 1928, a school had been constructed and was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery. On July 23, 1934, the Hartford City Council named the surrounding area of the church “Barry Square” in honor of the parish’s first pastor.

If you read the captions on the photos in the gallery, the “Barry Square” thing will be important.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
