Many years ago I lived in Shelburne Falls MA. and started the first book store there just down from The Bridge Of flowers and across the street from the Glacial Pot Holes. I recently visited the town and found this beautiful old hill town had turned into something resembling a tourist carnival. What a crying shame it was to behold.
