In honor of Firemen that have already gone

Another blog that I really enjoy visiting, The Quincy Daily Photo Blog, had this posting for Sunday. I felt that in light of our recent fire downtown and our deep,heartfelt thanks to our own Fire Department and the departments in neighboring towns who lent a hand during our crisis, this would be really good to share.

The second Sunday in June is apparently a day of remembrance for Firefighters who have died. This is the Firefighter Memorial in Quincy,MA that resides in the cemetery across the street from their Police Station. Isn't it lovely?

I hope that the author of the this blog doesn't mind me sharing this lovely image with you. Considering what our downtown has recently been through - I think maybe they will understand just how grateful we are today for the help we so recently received.

What's happenin' on Third Street

So sad to see them go! If you haven't ever seen the lovely shop of antiques and new finds that was on South Third Street, then you have almost missed your chance - almost. Feathered Nest was such a great addition to the top block of our main drag. Sue Moeller and Melanie have been friends and business partners for awhile, and they paired together very nicely when they opened the store a couple of years ago. But things change and now Sue looks forward to having more free time and enjoying retirement with her hubby. The store has a huge sale going on - but things are being boxed up and moved , so call ahead for store hours.

The Antique Mall on Wells Street, between S. Third and S. Second has been a favorite shopping stop of mine for sometime now. My entire home is graced with any number of goodies that I have found in Bev's store. Now, there are plans to move into the space adjacent to Rod's Antique Country Station at the top of S. Third. The plans are to have entirely new inventory, so keep your eyes peeled for good sales in the upcoming weeks.

I haven't worn many hats that I haven't fashioned or knit myself these last couple of years, and maybe that was true for a lot of people, because the hat shop, Hats Exclusively For You, that graced S. Third just east of Cugini's has been gone for a little while now - so that space is available, if anyone is interested.

However, Jennifer Davis Hayes let us know in a recent email she sent around that at 601 S. Third a new Teriyaki/Burger joint will be going in - which will be great, because for a lot of us, Burgers are a food group we gladly eat from all of the time.
