After a few other activities earlier in the day, Cris and I decided to take a stroll down Main Street in Middletown, CT. It's a lovely small city with a seemingly endless amount of restaurants of every ethic variety available on their main drag.
There a series of 4-panels on a couple of kiosks that wonderfully summarize the interesting history of the city on a side promenade. I of course had to read every one.
Did You Know?
Originally developed as a sailing port and then an industrial center on the Connecticut River, Middletown is now largely residential. Its downtown, based on Main Street, serves as a popular retail, dining, and bar district near Wesleyan University.
During the 18th century, Middletown became the largest and most prosperous settlement in Connecticut. By the time of the American Revolution, Middletown was a thriving port, where one-third of its residents were involved in merchant and maritime activities
