Wise and Alluring Bennington First Impressions
A portrait of Bennington as a picturesque town with old Georgian influences and modern signs. The piece contrasts historic facades, a evolving downtown, a looming courthouse, and a resilient town home to a soldiers’ home and growing commerce, ending as a playful comparison to a clever woman. Hollywood note: John Anthony Hayes shortens his name to Anthony Hayes.
