Places, homes from early in my work 1972-73, 1980’S

03.04.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

A tidal pool crossing Cosey Beach  Ave  1972. A daily treat to walk the beach with a friend. For a six month or so period I would step out the back door and soon be greeted by a Golden Retriever she was there for a walk. I never found out who she belonged to and she never asked to come in the house. 

Squeeze  loading in for a 80’s summer concert on Madison Green.  Madison Ct. Summers, The Wharf at The Madison Beach Hotel. Arriving there to meet Jim in early May Dewey the bartender announces Peter is here the summer has begun. 

A Radio Flyer to transfer winter warmth to the house.

Cosey Beach wasn’t glitzy the waterfront cottages were nicer. The neighborhood was poor. Strife between the city and the neighborhood after the city sold the playground to a restaurant. I found this all out the 2nd night I lived there. The 4th of July Independence Day  and the streets were full of people expressing there anger in no uncertain terms. 

Stony Creek and Kodachrome a short ride made often for peace, wandering, seeing. I would return here through out my years in Ct. I rarely returned to Cosey Beach Ave. It became a destination as I rushed to get myself ready to move west.  So many places, people to see that Brattleboro and Cosey beach were left out.

Back in Galilee RI April 2010

Another image from the fishing fleet in Galilee RI. Two years since I have been there perhaps another look later this year. Been a lot in the news regarding the “fishing industry” it looks like another blow against small independents. I admit I haven’t followed the story well. Here is an article from The Huffington Post regarding over fished areas and the system of controlled marketing of fish. “One fish two fish red fish blue fish.” Dr Suess. Or how the Marine Stewardship Council rates fisheries. There are links in article to Washington Post piece and other opinions on over fishing. I just like the small business and the boats. Independent like the family farm that is disappearing.       enjoy pjc
