Boston & East Providence, here I come! (Literally)
We'll be residents of RI about 6 weeks from now, and I am a carousel enthusiast! Fall River MA houses the carousel from my youth - I think it's mostly Philidelphia Toboggan Co. figures, if I recall, but I could be wrong. Those pics you posted are gorgeous, Sandra! I will definitely have to come up & see you! Karen, I'd love to go to "all of the above." My childhood memories are all of the famous historical places we visited on vacations (Plymouth, Salem, New Bedford, etc.), but I'd sure like to see more.
As for now, University of Findlay is down the road. But in RI we'll be part of the community at the Naval Base, which includes NAPS and the War College.
