Still time to see the really interesting old maps and relics this morning.  Every Saturday morning.

On the 1888 map, Harding St. was Railroad Street and Hospital Road was Canal Street, later to become Asylum Road.

Clark Tavern owner, Ms Linnert,  shared with me this evening that their ZBA approval to convert the former residence into a tavern has been appealed.  Generally, such appeals can delay the permit for about a year., until the court can conduct a trial.  The appeal rights are to either the Superior Court or the Land Court at the person’s option.

Last night the new officers were installed at the Legion.  I learned that the Legion long term will be in for big changes, as Commander Ron Griffin, who is also the town’s Veteran"s Officer, related that there are more WWII vets in town than vets under 50.  The Legion’s future therefore per force must be the Ancillary and the Sons of the Legion, as the number the vets declines.

I have no idea if this spot on Preservation Way is the start of a public trail or not, but it is really beautiful start of something.  If it is a trail, it needs clearing.

This one is on Preservation Way.  The sign is unique, so I am guessing it was a trail required by the Planning Board or the ZBA as part of the permitting process, in which case the developer, Ralph Costello, would have made up the sign.

Saw this on the Kingsbury Grist Mill’s water wheel this morning.  "Congratulation class of 2014."

Jade Walk trailhead actually has Conservation Commission small round 3" signs on twin posts.  Good marking, but  it is not likely that one would know what it is unless one knew what you were looking for.

One of the things the town needs to do better is to map the trails in town and clearly mark the trailheads.  This trail into Rocky Woods from Boyden  comes out between the two evergreens on the right.  Hard to find this trail unless you already know where it is.  This is a perfect example of why the town needs to better mark all the trailheads.

New sidewalk just needs a few bricks cut to fit to be done.
