Earl Silas Tupper, inventor of Tupperware, was born (1907) in Berlin. I'll also note that little in the March 1940 photo has has changed today, however the large paper mill, to the left and outside the frame of this picture, which dominated Berlin's skyline for a century, is now gone.

Directions to Berlin from an old man in Franconia … drive north and you’ll smell it when you get there.

I was stuck in post-eclipse traffic at just about this spot on NH-16 earlier this year (as in, it probably took me 30 minutes to cover the distance from the bottom of the photo to where the road turns). The buildings on the right-hand side of the photo, from the roof in the lower right-hand corner to the church (St. Anne's), are all there and basically as they were (perhaps some different paint colors).

The paper mills are all closed; a pleasant change for the nose, though difficult for the local economy.
