Photo of the Week
 
 
 
 
Our photo of the week was taken by Downtowner Dorothy Perrucci. She wrote, “Downtown Nashua is really looking festive and so nice to see all the storefronts! This photo is of a cloud bank rolling in over the Nashua River.” The moment was captured from Clocktower Place Apartments.
