Massachusetts Weddings on Pinterest

The grand union between social media and weddings is wonderfully presented through the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism's Massachusetts Weddings! Pinterest pin board. From a wedding on the Berkshire Scenic Railway to saying "I do" by a lighthouse (photo above), this social media page is full of fabulous ideas on where to get married in Massachusetts. Rather than relying on those overly familiar stuffy, staged and stale wedding photos marketed to the hilt by various agencies, this wedding photo page suggests so many fun, unique scenes on wedding locations in Massachusetts.  Nice job, Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism!

Sign of the Times: Ma Glockner's Closes in Bellingham, MA

Image
Article and Photo by Eric H., at VisitingNewEngland.com When I heard the news, my heart sank: Ma Glockner's, a family dining tradition in Bellingham, MA, since 1937, closed its sunny, welcoming doors due to the sagging economy. Best known for its delicious par-boiled, then grilled berched chicken and homemade cinnamon buns, we always enjoyed Ma Glockner's as a friendly place that seemed stuck in time. Ma Glockner's featured large, carpeted dining rooms, wood paneling, waitresses with lots of jewelry and perfume who said what they felt, and prices that everyone could afford. Adults were always treated well there, and kids even better. The slightly worn white-painted "house" with green and white window awnings and the cheesy chicken illustration on the traditional black and gold "Since 1937" sign out front offered further validation that Ma Glockner's wasn't in business to impress trendy, dining snobs. If you wanted hand-rubbed this and garlic-inf...

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 Mills Falls Marketplace for Shopping, Dining, Lodging in Meredith, N.H.

Image
Great Northern Trading Company at Mills Falls Marketplace Mills Falls Marketplace in Meredith, N.H., offers its own shopping and dining identity instead of being just another generic, unctuous tourist destination. Here's the scene at the Mills Falls Marketplace: several shops and restaurants, brick walkways and flowers gardens, a 40 ft. waterfall and great views of Lake Winnepesaukee. What could have been another low moment in the trend of commercial developers creating shopping destinations as  sterile as possible happily bucks the trend by offering something you will experience nowhere else. Nothing smug and pretentious exists here,  just a lot of rustic New Hampshire charm and the spirit of small, local business owners making things so warm, interesting and inviting. Given the heartwarming appeal of Mills Falls Marketplace, you'd never know that this former linen mill Inn at Mills Falls (left), waterfall, and Giuseppe's restaurant (right) that dates back to ...
