City Hall and St Patrick church

During my younger years (not that long ago) I worked at St Parick church.
One of the scariest things I ever did in my life was to go up to the very top of the steeple, where the green ring is with the small windows. I thought for sure the church was going to topple over. Also, every time I look at this church I'm amazed at the craftsmanship. Can you imagine how much time and effort it took to build this church. This is actually the second church that stood at this location, the first one burned.

I have alot of stories in the this place.






I was driving by City Hall and liked the way it looked with the sun hitting off the front face.

Off the road


On our way home from North Conway we took a side street to watch a guy fishing from a canoe on a small lake.

Rats in City Hall


This rat was brought to town from the Teamsters to protest some union problems at UMass-Lowell in May 2009.
