Going Backward To Learn Something New
Josie Soho was born in Worcester before she was josie soho. Her mother was born in Worcester and lived on Belmont Street which is the street josie soho took to get to the Worcester Art Musuem today.
Josie has a ton of memories of the city though she actually lived in Boylston where her father grew up.
Driving down Belmont she passed the Swedish Lutheran church her mother had grown up worshipping in. A church they'd meant to re- visit one day.
Past the church to the museum where josie's mother spent many happy hours as a child.
Just behind is the Lutheran church where Josie Soho's parents married. She noted it was built in 1950. Just five years before her parent's wedding. She took some pictures of it but she can't show you right now.
Leaving town she saw the train station that was run down and dirty when she was a child. She'd always marvelled at it's architecture. It's roof tops are sparkling now.
Going home through this way brought memories of her father and the times they spent in that run down area looking for treasures in the second hand shops. Josie holding the newspaper and directing her father to the sales listed in the Worcester Telegram while he drove.
Memories juxtaposed on either side of a three hour class on storing digital files. One more convergence of the actual and the virtual.
