Hike, Stay, Eat, Shop in the Last Green Valley

TRAILS TO HIKE With more than 130 miles of trails, at least 25 recreation areas, and countless campgrounds, this valley’s the ultimate in green. Bigelow Hollow State Park, Union Bigger is better–9,600 acres (combined with Nipmuck State Forest) of scuba diving, fishing, hiking, and biking.

Maps Don’t Show Vermont’s Sleeping Roads

What happens when sleeping roads wake up? Do they become beauties or nightmares? Vermont is about to find out. Until recently, the state’s sleeping roads had been hibernating in a dormant law that says that any road ever established by a town remains a town road unless it has been officially discontinued.

Obama Photos: NH Campaign Trail

SLIDE SHOW: Tim Llewellyn photos of Obama campaign in New Hampshire VIDEO: Tim Llewellyn’s interview on Maine’s TV news magazine “207”. I remember sitting in my American history class in school, glazing over at the names and dates, never internalizing the fact that both belonged to real flesh-and-blood people.

Sol LeWitt at MASS MoCA

Restaurant Review: Martha’s Stone Soup at the Tavern

Despite the sophistication and high income levels of Boston’s South Shore, there’s a dearth of good dining options. While hard to find (it’s a half-mile or so down a dirt road), Martha’s Stone Soup at the Tavern stands out amidst Plymouth’s chain-restaurant options for the earnest, seasonal meals coming from its kitchen.

Library Naming Opportunity

Is it worth one million dollars to have a library named in your honor? Liz Bedard certainly hopes so. After a full decade of spaghetti dinners, newsletters, and committee meetings, she’s just one miracle away from fulfilling her pledge to Gilmanton, New Hampshire: to build a year-round town library without ever resorting to taxes.
