r you ready?

In Weymouth there is a McDonalds with an indoor playplace. Kids can play while their parents finish eating their food. It is also good for when they are waiting for their food, because this McDonalds (at least when I have been there) has very slow service.

granite ball

You may have noticed a large granite ball in the background of my last picture. Here is a better picture of it. This ball was presented to the City of Quincy by the Granite Manufacturers Association in 1925 on the 300th anniversary of the first settlement in the area. For years, Quincy was known for its granite.





Thomas Crane Library has this photo in its archives of the monument's evolution. Starting from the bottom, it first shows the granite as a rough block of stone, then as a rough ball, then the shined ball in its first location beside City Hall. This monument was later being moved to the rotary south of the Fore River bridge in Quincy Point. And later still, it was moved back in front of City Hall where it is today.

John Adams

This John Adams statue is found in Quincy Center, right in front of the city hall. Dedicated in 2001, this life-size bronze statue of the "Atlas of Independence" was designed by sculptor Lloyd Lillie. John is looking across the street, towards Abigail/John Quincy Adams statues.

g building

This is G-Building in Bristol Community College in Fall River. The fountain area in front of the building is a very peaceful place to sit and eat your lunch when you are between classes.

club 58

Outside of Club 58, a nightclub in Quincy Center. Although many people put the club's address as 1515 Hancock St, it is actually found at 58 Ross Way . (Yep, that is how they got their name.)
