We are siblings who’ve grown up in Northampton and love our hometown. We offer two reasons why we’re so invested in the redesign of our Main Street one reason is somber; the other is hopeful.
On Halloween when we were 9 and 11, walking home from trick-or-treating downtown, we witnessed a car strike down a pedestrian in a Northampton crosswalk. The image of him briefly standing after the impact, then collapsing to the ground, is seared in our memories. PallavParakh, a 35-year-old local medical doctor, died two weeks later from brain trauma leaving behind his heartbroken spouse and toddler.
