I have frequently referred to Troy as "Norman Rockwell Country". I didn't know how true that was until I discovered that some of his works actually featured scenes from Troy.
At left is "Traffic Conditions". I don't know where this was in Troy, but alleyways behind homes were a part of my early childhood. The garbage trucks collected our trash in the alley behind our house in North Troy.
There is another painting is featured at my Yahoo! Groups page, and it's called, "Home Coming GI". It's a famous one, and my old high school friend, Ralph, tells me he knew where the house in the picture was because he grew up near it.
