Hugh's Views & News 
Well I scrolled down thru the comments, which I don’t usually do, but I wanted to know where you took the photo – I was thinking a blacksmith’s shop. At The Henry Ford (f/k/a Greenfield Village) in Michigan, there is a village of old buildings like this one, actually the real vintage workshops for inventors like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison and others, perfectly preserved like this one. Here is my post from last week – by the time you read it, I will have published this week’s Wordless Wednesday. This is my cute little squirrel I’ve named “Parker” at the park where I walk nearly every day. I have mentioned Parker often so readers know who he is.

These old workshops are amazing places, Linda. They hold so much history, and I’m sure they still have many secrets they’ve yet to reveal.
Yes they do Hugh. I tried to get a job as a docent at this venue while I was in college. People said it looked good on your resume, even though I already had a part-time job at a diner. You were assigned to a building and had to dress in period costume and learn everything you could about the building/workshop. I applied but was not accepted as I was not a U.S. citizen (still am not a U.S. citizen; I am a Canadian).
I don’t think they’d be able to refuse anyone a job based on nationality now, Linda. Such a shame that it happened. It should always have been based on who did the job best, not on where somebody came from.
I agree with you Hugh. That was in the early 70s and so much has changed in five decades and I lived to see it!
Oh wow, time did not touch that place in a long time. Sorry for being so late, but my link for last week: https://esmesalon.com/cattle-on-the-beach/
Please don’t apologise for being late, Esmé. As long as the comments section of my posts are open, nobody is ever late and is welcome to leave comments and links to the Wordless Wednesday challenges.
Thanks Hugh, you’re the best
we have our own heritage centre looking at the past when we lived in a different time when lives were hard but probaly very much simpler days.
I agree about our lives being much simpler back then. Technology has undoubtedly taken up much more of our time, yet we seem to have less.

Thanks, Willow. Glad you think so.
I do 😊
A very atmospheric photo 💜
Wow, fantastic photo to go with that prompt. It is a peculiar feeling to look at it. Time stands still… from one moment to the next.
When I entered that room, Erika, time stood still all around me. I was transported back to the 1930s.
I can imagene that, Hugh.
I can almost smell the iron filings and mustiness in the room.
Good to hear, Paul. That tells me I took a good photo of the room.
Hi Hugh. Sorry for asking on this post but I have a question for you. What do you know about the Jetpack app? I keep getting notifications to switch. I looked on your page hoping you already discussed it but I didn’t see anything.
Hi, I recommend you switch to the new Jetpack App, as the current WordPress app will lose many features in March.
Here’s a link containing all the details.

Thank you so much Hugh 🙂
Certainly a compelling image, Hugh! This reminds me of Fort Vancouver in Southern Washington, which I visited last Fall. It seems this place could be cleaned up and used as a historical attraction.
This was taken at a place called Big Pit, which is an old coal mine now turned into a museum, Terri. It was a fascinating place. I did some Wordless Wednesday posts from it last year. I also learned that my Grandfather worked there in the 1920s.
How cool, Hugh! So it already is a museum. How interesting to learn your grandfather worked there.
What a great example, the ambiance of age and time
Thank you.
