Afterworld:
Connecticut Coastal Cities and River Valley Mill Towns
Having grown up on the outskirts of a post-industrial city in Pennsylvania, I feel a connection to people and the land in deindustrialized coastal cities and river valley mill towns in Connecticut, where I now live.
There is something familiar and haunting, for me, about these places. Where worn-out buildings now stand in this post-industrial afterworld, I try to picture the tailor shop at the top of the hill in Reading, Pennsylvania, where my grandfather made his living and raised his family.
