Little House In The Big Woods

My parents and I would hike and snowshoe to this back roads cabin to take pictures of the panoramic view. We always called it “Little House”. Finally, I decided to take a picture of the cabin itself. I used a Canon EOS Rebel T3i with a Sigma 85 mm 1.4 lens. ISO 200; f/3.5; 1/250 sec

Saturday at the New England Aquarium

What happens when you bring a quizzical two-year-old to a museum stocked full of exotic marine life? Simple but direct demands like, “Open it.” As in, open the tank and let’s all start playing with the fish and sea lions. On a recent Saturday, as Boston was absorbing a full on crush of holiday shoppers, […]

Magic at the Top of the Stairs | Wilton Town Hall Theatre

Lighting is everything when it comes to aging movie stars; no less so when it comes to this handsome brick edifice possibly past its prime. The Wilton Town Hall Theatre, carved into a steep hillside in the center of Wilton, New Hampshire, was young when vaudeville came knocking. The interior of the dusky town hall […]

Shopping at a Town’s Memory | Wilson’s Department Store

The lady needs an electric can opener. It’s a Thursday morning at Wilson’s Department Store in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and, so far at least, a quiet one at the 130-year-old downtown landmark. On one floor there’s a woman in search of a button-down shirt for her son; another, one floor above her, looking at jewelry. Then […]

The World at Your Fingertips | Old Number Six Book Depot

Atop a forested New Hampshire hillside, up past an ancient snow-covered burial ground and a 19th-century railroad station, a big green spruce graces the front yard of an old white-clapboard farmhouse. Inside the attached two-story barn, a first-class education awaits. A labyrinth of homemade shelving is stuffed floor to ceiling with every species of the […]

Where Kids Dream Of Flying | Satre Hill in Salisbury, CT

Tucked into our town is a classic ski jump, a link back to when children grew up impatient for winter, because then they could climb the steps to their local jump and take off, soaring like wild birds, just as their parents once had. Only a handful of places still retain this tradition, and nowhere […]

The Sweet Eye-Opener | Allie’s Donuts

The Providence metro area, epicenter of Little Rhody, has the greatest number of doughnut shops per capita in America. That’s a lot of cruller fans, for sure, but it’s also a lot of competition. And yet Allie’s Donuts–a low-slung red-and-white cottage on the side of Route 2 in North Kingstown–has managed to survive the Dunkin’ […]
