Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
A couple years ago, I featured doors from the Montgomery Mill complex. At that time, a developer was making plans to purchase, restore and repurpose the former “Decorative and Electrical Tinsel” plant into apartments. The complex is located on the industrial island between the Windsor Locks Canal and the Connecticut River – a challenging place... Continue Reading →
Today is going to be a very long and very busy day. I decided to share a door photo that my good friend Brad Lewis passed along to me on Facebook. My regular readers will understand the appeal of this door. If you’re new to No Facilities, I’ll explain. We have had Irish Setters for... Continue Reading →
As I was walking around Concord, Massachusetts last month, I did what most Thursday Doors participants do, I took pictures of doors. Every door I noticed. I figured that, as has often been the case, I would be able to fill in the blanks later. I already knew that my favorite source for history and... Continue Reading →
Last month, that is to say, February (now that we’re on April’s doorstep) I shared some doors from the historic Battle Green (Commons) in Lexington, Ma. I mentioned that both Lexington and neighboring Concord lay claim to firing the first shot, winning the first battle, burying the first casualties in the Revolutionary War. I wasn’t...

Perhaps that should include “Part-II” since I think I’ve posted doors from Burlington, MA before, but who’s counting? The meetings I attended the week I captured the Lexington doors were held in the Burlington Marriott. The rationale for that, in case you’re interested, is that they give us the easiest option to handle price. We... Continue Reading →
This is the final official Thursday Doors post of 2018, as Norm has decided to take next Thursday off. Norm suggested that we spend this final Thursday by revisiting our favorite doors from 2018. That’s easier said than done. I doubt that I have the most doors of any door nerd, but I posted over... Continue Reading →
I’ve been saving the door pictures from Phipps Conservatory for a day like this. I had a couple of busy days at work and I got an early start on the renovation project (because rain is in the weekend forecast). In addition, this week began with a Sunday-to-Monday overnight low of 23°f (-5°c), so sharing... Continue Reading →
Continuing our journey east from the Goshen Fair and up Rt-4 in search of doors, we have one more stop to make – Collinsville, Connecticut. I will probably offend a few people (at least one that I know of) as I quote from Wikipedia: “Collinsville is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in the town... Continue Reading →
During the last week of June, I spent a few days in Baltimore, Maryland. I didn’t have a lot of time to explore, but I did have to walk to and from meetings and meals, and I was fortunate to walk past some very interesting doors. Many of the doors are the kind most door... Continue Reading →
