Autumn Art Fair, Oct. 3, at Briggs Nursery, North Attleboro, Mass.


Bookmark and ShareOne of our favorite local art stores, Village Artisans Collaborative, of North Attleboro, Mass., just sent us a message that they will be sponsoring a fall arts and crafts day at Briggs Nursery, 295 Kelley Blvd. in North Attleboro, Sat., October 3, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the beautiful atrium at Briggs Nursery in North Attleboro.

The show will feature many works by local artists along with a free raffle for a $50.00 gift certificate to the Village Artisans Retail Store at 21 North Washington St., in downtown North Attleboro (Tel. 508-695-1010). We encourage you to stop by the event to support what we feel is a model not-for-profit organization -- Village Artisans showcases more 30 local artisans at its retail store while working closely with local organizations to foster creative programs. This local cultural vision helps make North Attleboro even that much better than it's already impressive presence as a close-knit, community-oriented town!

The Oct. 3 event should be a lot of fun. In addition to the wonderful service Village Artisans provides, Briggs Nursery remains one of the most impressive of its kind in the southern Massachusetts/northern Rhode Island area with an impressive array of plant and flower, gardening, tree and shrub, outdoor decor, home and gifts, lawncare, and landscape design merchandise and services.

Good Eeeevening!: A Perspective on New Hampshire Meteorologist Al Kaprielian

Article by Eric H., at VisitingNewEngland.com Somewhere in the 1980s, my esteemed Arlington High School journalism teacher Len Tammaro tipped me off about a New Hampshire television weatherman that he called "Crazy Al Kaprielian." That night, I couldn't believe what I saw: this nerdy-looking guy with a high-pitched voice flailing his arms all over the weather map, contorting his face in every direction, and squealing, "Good Eeeevening!" and "HIGH PRESSURE!" (his future trademark phrases)." All that boundless energy and the myriad antics left the viewer laughing, yet enervated at the same time. In this world of slick, Ken and Barbie television meteorologists, Al Kaprielian has been the antidote to the standard, unctuous television personality. Twenty-five years later, Al is still going strong on MyTV New England with his unique style --perhaps validation that he really loves his job. No doubt, Al has always been an unconventional, unique-looking a

Visiting My Grandmother Had That Antiques in Wrentham, Mass.

My Grandmother Had That...Antiques  in Wrentham, Mass., is one of those "hidden gem" antique stores that is jam-packed with antiques, collectibles and other items from the past. Located in a charming, two-story old red barn at 446 South St. (Route 1A), My Grandmother Had That...Antiques certainly lives up to its name. You'll find furniture, lamps, desks, chairs, plant holders, fine China sets and just about everything your grandma had, and also didn't have -- like a web address, Facebook fan page or any hint on the Internet that this place exists! Unless you're a Wrentham native, one familiar with the antiques industry, have driven by the red barn on South St., or somebody that just reads maps of Wrentham all day, My Grandmother Had That...Antiques is as hard to find as the rarest antique. You won't even find the name, "My Grandmother Had That," on the building, just a sign that states "Antiques." The My Grandmother Had That name is on

Where To Live In Connecticut That Has A Small Town Feel?

Noank, Conn. Editor's note: We recently received an email from one of our readers looking to possibly move to Connecticut. Here is her inquiry, followed by our response... Hi, my name is Courtney and I found your website completely truthful and helpful. I talked to my cousin who lives in the northern part of the east coast and she described exactly what you did! I am currently in Orange County, California, and don't like the "ingenuinity" (we're assuming the word is"disingenuous") and mindset of the people. I have found that Connecticut is a place with great weather and has a lot if cities with a small town feel. I was wondering if there was any way that you could help me specify my search in CT? I would like a city with a small town feel where your neighbors are sweet, but it still has a high quality of life. Essex and Stonington caught my eye, but I've never been so I can't say! Thank you for your time. Thank-you for your inquiry. We d
