Bridge Raised for Clipper City Rail Trail

Last night in Newburyport an 80 pedestrian bridge was raised over Low Street, filling in “the last gap in the trail that will connect” the train station in Newburyport to the Waterfront.

So much has changed around the Newburyport area in the 19 years I lived in Los Angeles. Still it’s good to be back here living again (in Amesbury), reflecting on my childhood in the area and the first 30 something years of my life.

I think the bridge will be a welcomed edition to Newburyport and as I continue to take daily walks around downtown Newburyport and the Waterfront Park, one day soon I will check out the trail and the bridge. I enjoyed reading Joel Brown’s piece on the bridge raising complete with a bit of local Newburyport color.

A Glorious Day on The Merrimack River

August 10, 2009

I could sit all day at the Waterfront Park in Newburyport and take photos of the boats on the river:

Of course the Summer will wind down into Fall in before I know it and most of the boats will be put into dry dock.

A Welcome Addition to Downtown Amesbury

August 8, 2009

I moved home to Massachusetts two months ago and have been enjoying settling in and reminiscing with old friends while balancing my business, a part time job and my 3 blogs. Whew… my plate is way too full.

I’m living in Amesbury, the next town over from my hometown, Newburyport. I love Amesbury. It’s a beautiful little city with lot’s of great countryside and the Merrimack River which ambles along towards its final destination, the Atlantic Ocean.

Okay… enough rambling. I read in the local newspaper tonight, that there’s a new bookstore that just opened in downtown Amesbury. I love a good bookstore. I can’t wait to check it out.
