Plans for Fort Needham Park Present Another Blow to North End Dog Owners
It’s Christmas Eve! Which means I am home for the holidays in New Brunswick; the stockings are hung; the egg nog is chilling. Life is good.

A public meeting was held on October 1, 2015, to discuss ways to improve the park and enhance its “commemorative” aspects. Continue reading

Graham’s Grove Park and What Can Happen When You Break the Rules

We decided to explore this gem a few weeks ago after the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Sullivan’s Pond Cenotaph. If you were there, I was the one in the back with the black lab going bonkers. Continue reading
