As we took a break from our “dot com” world this week, the first thing we spotted as we drove into Falls Village, Connecticut was a “dot car” in front of the local library. It seems we just can’t get away from every kind of “dot.” A local resident who restores Fiats and Alpha Romeos lent the 1959 Fiat to the David M. Hunt Library for kids to cover with dots during two days in July.
We stopped at the local cafe and community gathering spot for lunch. When we finished, the owner sat down with us to have one of those “you’re new in town aren’t you” talks. I don’t think we have ever been so warmly received so fast, especially in Connecticut, not only by him, but other business owners as well. Although we plan to go back in September for a more in depth Main Street photowalk, we photographed the Fiat “dot car” just in case it wouldn’t be there when we returned.
By the way, speaking of our dot com world, here is a link to a time lapse video clip of the two-day dot-a-thon. Hope it hits the spot.
How will they get the dots off? It looks like the whole car was painted with something first--I hope that protects the paint and tires from the dot removal.
