Meriden and Beyond...

[Rod N. Gunn]

Thanks for sharing, I would have enjoyed that outing very much. I was passing through Meriden once about 20 years ago and I asked a couple residents (gas station attendants and such) if they knew where the Parker Gun Works were located and I got some really blank stares. Someday I would like to go back and visit the places you showed us.

Dave,
Unfortunately the blank stares were most likely because they spoke little or no English.
