We were trying to find a spot that wasn't artistic, and we couldn't. Here, everything is a painting. North Adams is full of paintings. It isn't conventional, and it isn't squared off like a box. It's hilly, and the streets aren't perpendicular.
People say it's like a European town.
Sometimes we take the same route when we go walking, but it's never the same. The streets and houses look different at different times of the day. I never get tired of North Adams. Most of the time, I have a lot on my schedule. If I do an oral history, the interview takes about two hours.
