I was a year old and I can remember my parents years later talking about it.
I'm fairly familiar with Rt. 2 west of Greenfield, but I didn't recognize
anything, nor would I expect to. That shot could be of the Cold River that
borders Rt. 2 above Charlemont. I did see shots of Springfield. We lived in
the Hungry Hill section of the city, high above the Connecticut River. The
flood control dikes in West Springfield are still there and doing their job.
However, the North End of Springfield has suffered many floods because of lack
of dikes to control the water.

When I was a kid, the Connecticut was terribly polluted. Today it has been
cleaned up and people enjoy boating and swimming just north of Springfield.
