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 →
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...

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 →

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 →
It’s Thursday, right? I mean, it’s a Normal Thursday, right? Norm is back, the gang’s all here and it’s time to share some doors. Phew. The break felt good, but I’ve been itching to share these doors. These are from the Connecticut Old State House, and I took them the week before the break. They... Continue Reading →
