5 Alarms!

Today, firefighters from Quincy and many surrounding towns help to fight a 5-alarm fire on Newport Ave., across from the Wollaston train station.  I have posted pictures from this location in the past.  One building that is history now is the former "Odd Fellows Lodge" which you can see HERE.  Below the Odd Fellow Lodge was the Kimarie Massage Salon which you can see HERE,  Hopefully the lucky dragon dance, HERE, helped these businesses survive the conflagration.

Fanfare For Quincy

The Church of Presidents is the backdrop for Quincy Symphony Orchestra and Quincy Choral Society as they perform at the dedication of Quincy's newest park appropriately named the Hancock-Adams Common located in historic Quincy Center. 

Count Down

Quincy Center T garage is being demolished one floor at a time.  This view is taken from an empty Burgin Parkway looking south.

Porch Fest 2018

Porch Fest 2018:  "Revival" started things off on this Marion Street veranda.   A few rain drops did not dampen spirits of this free grassroots community music festival.

My Friend "Flicker"

This female Northern Flicker just left her nest high up in a partially decayed tree where the food sources are aplenty (insects and ants).

"Rhodie" Show!

                                    The rhododendrons are especially beautiful this spring!

Tree House Dweller

This male northern flicker has taken up residence in a decayed maple tree at the end of my driveway.
