My group found this spot on the train tracks, and we just thought it looked like a good place because it represents part of what has sustained Willimantic over the years -- the train tracks
The willimantic sign near the train tracks seemed like a good place to represent Willimantic cause it is weathered as you can see from the wood pile, simple, and in a calm area near the river which is the heart of Willimantic.
Each group in the class began by posting a photograph of a potential "monument" site here in Willimantic, CT. Comments about the place accompanied these preliminary images. Then, each group's proposed temporal monument was performed/ made/ constructed, on or around April 8. Results posted to the left.

The story begins on ground level, with footsteps. They are myriad, but do not compose a series. They weave places together. They are not localized; they spatialize. See the Class's own Maps of Meandering>>>>>
