Doberman Reunion Picnic |
Tour of Gracious Homes |
||
|
On Sunday May 22nd, more than 100 Dobermans and their families gathered at Hopkinton State Park to see old friends and meet new ones. How do 100 Dobermans get along? Actually, quite well! These previously unwanted Dobermans were rescued and placed in loving homes by Doberman Rescue Unlimited, Inc., whose shelter is in Sandown, NH. Agility and Obedience demos were the highlights of the afternoon, while happy Dobeys played and frolicked with each other. Thank you to Michelle Fontaine, who took time out form being "Mother of the Bride" the day before to join us and photograph the event. For more info on DRU, please visit their web site at www.dru.org. DRU has more than 50 Dobermans desperately in need of homes. -Laurie Guptill - see the latest photos at http://imageevent.com/fontainefamily/dru2005

In the late 19th Century, Stephen Salisbury III conceived a grand-scale planned development. His design for Massachusetts Avenue from Salisbury Street to Drury Lane called for a thirty-foot wide central parkway, which still includes some of the original trees. Neighbors have spent considerable time and effort maintaining and enhancing this distinctive element of Massachusetts Avenue. More Here..

2005 - Fire Inspection Year |
Mowing over Poop - Yuk! |
||
|
ALL fireplaces must be inspected and cleaned (if necessary) between April 1 and October 1A certificate of inspection from a licensed chimney sweep needs to submitted to the Board no later than October 1, 2005. Most of our unit owners use Top Hat in Grafton. We are not officially endorsing Top Hat, you may use any licensed chimney sweep. I had Top Hat clean and inspect my chimney this week and he gave me a $15 PRVA discount. Fireplace cleaning and inspection is a safety issue that concerns ALL of us at PRVA.- Laurie Guptill |
The landscapers have begun mowing and they are running over dog feces with their mowers-yuk! There is no excuse for you not to pick up after your dog! Please patrol your area and report ANY dog owner that is not doing their part to the Board so that they may take the appropriate action! Also please do not allow your dog to urinate in the same spot on the grass- this makes for unattractive yellow patches of dead grass ! | ||

Historic Homes - The original residents were professionals and industrialists who purchased lots for $3,000 to $11,000, and were only awarded deeds on the condition they would erect their home within one year. Their houses were a reflection of their affluence and the prosperous status of the city. Home styles are from the Eclectic Period, and include different forms of Colonial Revival, many in the Georgian style, using elements of Gothic, Palladian and Jacobean Revival. Upon Salisbury's death in 1905, the remaining property came under the stewardship of the Worcester Art Museum, and the later development of Regent Street proceeded under less stringent restrictions. The times called for less formal styles, as well, including the Prairie and Bungalow styles that are reflected in homes on the street. Over the years, many of the houses have had additions and new owners have completed restorations and renovations. Tour goers will be privileged to step inside these amazing homes that are a part of Worcester's history and also domiciles for modern families. Spend an afternoon experiencing first-hand his vision of gracious living. For more info call PW at 508-754-8760 or visit their web site at www.preservationworcester.org. The tour will also be featured in the T&G Homes section Sunday May 29.
