I Miss Benny’s Famous for low prices
Double Matted Art print of the Greenville Benny’s department store’s which was one of the 32 stores located in southern New England originally from a watercolor painting by William B. MacGregor Jr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benny’s store is a regional institution in the Southern New England area. The first store was in 1924, when Benjamin Bromberg opened his first store in Providence, RI and sold auto parts and radios. Benny’s has been around for 90 years and expanded to 32 stores in RI, MA and CT. Whenever you entered the store the customer was greeted, given assistance, help with the shopping cart and special orders. Unfortunally the stores are closing by the end of 2017 and I will miss by daily trips to Benny’s. Good By Benny’s. |

William. B. MacGregor Jr. Watercolors the Junkyard Artist
William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self-taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May,2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA
