The Down Memory Lane exhibit opened Feb. 8 at the Plainville Public Library, 56 E. Main St. People reminisced about the various establishments shown in the photo display. Some people wrote down their memories, which will be put in a booklet after the show. Organizers said it was fun watching parents explain to their children what now sits in the place once occupied by the establishments in the photographs. Todd Jones, who prepared the display, was on hand to answer questions. Down Memory Lane is on display at the Plainville Public Library during February. The library is open Sundays in February, from 1 to 5 p.m. -- Photo courtesy of Gary Eisenhauer
