Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

Our initial research provided a list of destinations in the Connecticut area that can bring back memories from the past decades. Given that there are available resources on this, we propose to start the research by providing additional destinations in Connecticut that evoke memories of each past decade. We will start with 2-3 destinations for each of the following decade groups: (a) the 20s and 30s; (b) 40s and 50s, (c) 60s and 70s; and (d) 80s and the 90s. For the 20s, we will focus on finding speakeasy joints and distilleries. For the 30s and 40s, we will focus on museums and establishments. For the 50s, we will look at diners or drive-in restaurants. We will do the same for the other decades based on what can best embody the era. For each destination, we will provide a 1-2 sentence overview, why it is relevant, link to the official website, location, and available contact information.

We also propose undertaking additional research to provide 3-5 festivals or events in the Connecticut area that can evoke memories of the past decades. For each event, we will provide a 1-2 sentence overview, how the event can evoke memories of the past decades, link to the event's website, and location.
