Thread City Development offers this

seasonal Look Book, which reflects

our unadorned, unpolished, and un-

airbrushed view of Main Street,

Willimantic. The Look Book depicts

every-day, ordinary life, and

shares a visual narrative of what

makes downtown Willimantic the

welcoming community and special

place it is. We hope our rather

extraordinary ordinariness

makes you take notice. As

Thornton Wilder, the

author of Our Town,

implied, given a

chance to reflect

upon – and even

relive chapters

from our lives –

we should focus

on the everyday

things, because

that’s where

magic lies.
