The sound was perfect for the day. Twenty-two neighbors joined to sing “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” on a Hall Street sidewalk at 5 p.m. this past April 13. The sun was shining brightly as it moved lower in the sky.
The Hall Street Howlers, as the residents call themselves, have been gathering for a Sing-Out every day since the beginning of the pandemic. Afterwards, they linger to chat for a while always masked and socially distanced, of course.
“We have certainly become closer as neighbors, and this activity is a lift emotionally after many of these long days,” long-time Hall Street resident Judy Bumbalo said.
