During 1987-1988, the American Folklife Center and Lowell Historic Preservation Commission conducted the Lowell Folklife Project in partnership with the Massachusetts Council on Arts and Humanities to record the lives of contemporary ethnic neighborhoods and occupations as they relate to the history of the Industrial Revolution in Lowell, Massachusetts.
This year-long study yielded an ethnographic collection covering a wide range of subjects and activities, including neighborhood tours, ethnic restaurants, parades, musical events, and religious services and festivals.
When I worked in the Crosspoint building, I occasionally ate lunch at Southeast Asia Restaurant. They had some dangerously hot items with signs warning you to stay away.
Very cool! Great photos!
Interesting and multicultural.
I’ve lived long enough that my youth has become an anthropological and historical curiosity. sigh
I think I’ve seen most of these before, but I still enjoy them. Thanks
Very cool pics. My daughter went to the Franco, so glad they preserved the grotto. That snowstorm pic looks like it coulda been last winter or 40 years ago.
