#171 - "Where's Waldo, er Joe?"

Avon was calling and Mike P., Mike Di., Peyton, Milt, Michelle, EMO, Mrs. Beth, Joyce, Mariann, Michael K., and Tony answered! Did I mention that Jordan's Furniture has duplicated the original blueberry muffin recipe from Jordan Marsh? Pricey but tasty!



Avon also gets my vote for best town sign!! 

Enough talk of calories - well, after I get this one out of the way. . .




If it weren't for the Toll House Inn, chocolate chip cookies would not be! Ruth Graves Wakefield invented them here (Toll House Cookies). The Inn burned down in 1984 and the only memory is this sign - other than the chocolate chip cookies she left us with!



From 1968 to 1994, King's Castle Land amused many small children and their parents.  



Now apartments, this huge factory employed over 600 people when it was the Commonwealth Shoe Factory!



The Regional High School for this town and its neighbor was spearheaded by a real class act who recently left this world - Dr. John McEwan!
