Around Concord – #ThursdayDoors

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 →

Joined at the Hip – Thursday Doors

I’m still sorting through doors from Concord, Massachusetts, but I found two buildings that are curiously linked, so I thought I’d feature them together today. Why would I use the word “curious?” Well, how often do you run into a church that owns a tavern? Note: most of what follows is paraphrased from an article... Continue Reading →

Concord Doors – #ThursdayDoors

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...

More Help from Friends – #ThursdayDoors

This is a difficult week for doors, for me. I was in Boston for a couple of days and returned to a schedule that wasn’t going to allow much time for writing. Despite how badly I failed at teeing up my One-Liner Wednesday post, you know the one that briefly burst into your browser on... Continue Reading →

Burlington Doors – #ThursdayDoors

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 →

Lexington Doors – #ThursdayDoors

You really can’t get much more central to this country’s (US) becoming a free nation than the Common in Lexington, Massachusetts. Claimed to be the "birthplace of American liberty," Lexington shares in the legend of firing the first shot, tallying the first wounded, winning the first battle and so on and so forth with the...

2018 in Review – #ThursdayDoors

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 →

The Cloisters – #ThursdayDoors

This Thursday Doors post is challenging, for two reasons. First. The Cloisters, a recreation of a 13th, 14th and 15th century monastery, is full of wonderful doors. If you find that sentence curious, it’s because The Cloisters was built by John D. Rockefeller from the remnants of at least five European monasteries and stones quarried... Continue Reading →

That New York Walk – Thursday Doors

When I described the “first last” meeting I attended in New York, I briefly mentioned attending a technology event at The Javits Center. I love that building, and since my train usually arrives in New York well before the show opens, there is always time to drop my bags at the hotel and walk to... Continue Reading →
