So the day before the huge hustle and bustle of another family holiday, I thought it might be nice to observe a silent wordless Wednesday. Actually it may not be so silent, as I think these photographs speak volumes. The pictures today are selected from the public archives collection on The Commons.
And because many of us will be traveling for the holidays, our theme for today is Getting from Here to There…
