Worcester Art Museum

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

The Worcester Art Museum claims to house over 35,000 works of art, and “was among the first to exhibit and collect photographs as fine art. The photography collection has grown to over 2,000 images that span the entire history of the medium.” Alas, none of those are mine.
The museum is free on Saturday mornings, so [...]

South Station

Friday, December 29th, 2006

If you board the commuter rail at Union Station, pay $6, and ride to the end of the line, you’ll end up in Boston’s South Station. Not a bad deal, especially with the holiday installation of the 448 square foot Holiday Express model train exhibit.

Ad Remnants

Monday, December 25th, 2006

The weather-worn painted advertisements can still be found on quite a few of the old mill buildings of Worcester’s past. I find a kind of strange comfort in them–portals to a different time. The Heywood Boot and Shoe Company closed in 1953, according to the Worcester Historical Museum website.

Shelter

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

On Green Street just south of the Providence and Worcester Railroad overpass, stairs leading to the second floor of Worcester’s second ugliest building (the first being the AT&T Building) provide a bit of shelter for one of the city’s approximately 3000 homeless [Statistic from WHAC]. Though the causes of homelessness are many and complex, [...]
