Over the last year, the pandemic made takeout food our only option, but it just doesn’t measure up to sitting in a new environment and someone else serving the dinner. I will never again take that for granted.
This past sunny week I wandered down Mill Street. It is alive with conversations and people strolling without the noise and intrusion of traffic. Like many folks, I’ve been so happy to leave home and have somewhere to go. Maybe, in the next few weeks, we’ll even go to the movies and eat popcorn!

I’ve been to plenty of bars with art on the walls, loads with exposed industrial fittings, even one full of taxidermied cats. But never one with a vast collection of tinned fish as the mainstay of its aesthetic.

That was a given, said her longtime friend and sometimes traveling companion, Jim Huston of Springfield.
Huston said he long-admired Schlich s commitment to the behind-the-scenes work for the annual Molly Schlich International & Independent Film Series that has borne her name since 2011.
There was working with theatre chains and distributors, dealing with pricing and making sure film prints arrived on time and got back to the distributors, moving parts that Huston said he was familiar with when he ran Springfield s Shoestring film series in the 1970s and 80s. A lot of those things, Huston said, are not on people s minds when they go into a theatre to see a film they might like or might hate. Those are all things Molly was doing.
