Roaming Springfield - a Couple of Days in June

Walking around Springfield the other day I came across the row of flowers planted along the MassMutual Center on Main Street. But something was missing!


"Did someone swipe the flowers?" I wondered, surprised at the sight. I certainly hope it wasn't a case of vandalism. It's quite possible, too, that they were looking ill, so the City was having them re-planted.

Last Wednesday I was downtown and came across the welcoming home ceremony for Iraq veteran and Springfield teacher Jose H. Irizarry.

Above, the "Star Spangled Banner" is being sung.
And below, the Puerto Rican National Anthem.
