TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE BROCKVILLE [Tell Me More][Tell Me Less]
(The 2 actual solar photos, top & bottom by Keenan Bere)
Brockville had its first total solar eclipse in 700 years. Don't expect to see another in your lifetime in this area.
We plunged into total darkness, with a major drop in temperature, and came out the other side. Cheers from everyone!
There will, however, be a partial solar eclipse on Aug 12, 2026 at 1:44 pm.

WHEELS 1932 FRANKLIN SERIES 163 [Tell Me More][Tell Me Less]
Norwich, NY, Museum Find
The Franklin Series 163, with a long 132 inch wheelbase. Its factory price was $2,345. In todays money, that would be $53,461.21. It was a luxury car, but at the lower end. It had only a 6cyl. air cooled engine, when V-12's were offered at the other end. It had dual side spares, one on each side, a rarity.
This was a 5 passenger sedan. 1932 was the year the Great Depression hit rock bottom. Production was at an all time low, at 1,905 for the year, up to this point. It would get worse before the end.
A 1932 Franklin ad.

Brockville is not only rich in architecture,
but also rich in the vehicles that appear on it's streets, in the air, on it's rail lines and in it's waterways.
