Description
Connors Garage was a small neighborhood garage in North Pawlet owned and operated by Ed Connors for many years. When Neil Rappaport photographed there in 1972, the only employee was George Sears. Ed and George could fix almost anything and they worked on cars, trucks, tractors and other farm equipment and even lawnmowers. It was also a gathering place particularly for men interested in hunting. In the morning they would sit around the homemade wood stove at the back of the garage and discuss hunting, politics, town affairs and local gossip. These same men would meet on the weekends to shoot skeet at the back of the garage to help improve their aim for turkey season. Ed Connors also bought and sold guns and maintained a very high quality collection of his own. There are very few of this type of local garage left today.
