"Doctor Chang standing outside his laboratory at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology -- Shrewsbury (Mass.) in the winter of 1945. Min-Chueh Chang's development of oral contraception with Gregory Goodwin Pincus and John Rock changed human society. Chang also collaborated with Cyril Adams in the 1950s on embryo transfer in farm animals, which led to Chang's innovation of in vitro fertilization, or test-tube fertilization. Dr. Chang's office is now in the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C."

Reply to Spag in front of Spag's (1940) by sceaga_genesis

"One of Shrewsbury's most famous residents in the twentieth century was Anthony A. Borgatti, Jr. (Spag). Born the oldest of four children on February 29, 1916, in Worcester (Mass.), he opened a tire and battery store on Route 9 in Shrewsbury (Mass.) in 1934 that by 1939 had expanded to hardware and other items, and since then, was known by Anthony's nickname, Spag's. He married Olive Lutz on November 24, 1940 in St. Anne's Church. Together they raised three daughters, Carol, Jean and Sandra. Olive died on December 28, 1990, and Spag died on February 23, 1996. Oil portraits of both Borgattis by Worcester artist Leon Hovesepian now hang in the Shrewsbury Public Library."

Sure thing. Dog-friendliness will almost always depend on the specific site, so dig deeper before hitting the trail. Most park/trail websites will have it posted. Best of luck!

Fwiw, you can get to any number of nice trails within 20 minutes of anywhere in the city.

Reply to I have a week off next week. I live in Eastern MA. How can I take advantage of this? by the_ok_seltzer

Get out to the beach if it’s warm any of those days. We live in Worcester but took a day trip to Horseneck Beach with our kids last month and it was so pleasant, it felt kinda like those old pics from the early 1900’s with bundled up walkers and scattered beach combers. They have an amazing dune walkway that lets you wander and cut through to the water here and there. My son threw a million rocks, we collected a million seashells for my daughter to paint, and I even found a 3.5 foot piece of driftwood that I’m turning into wall art. There’s just something about sea air and waves on a seasonally warm day, I tell ya.

Reply to Best intermediate hiking within 2 hours of Boston? by dxbaileyy

Mount Kearsarge has 2 state parks on different sides, Rollins and Winslow. Winslow provides an intermediate hike to the summit and Rollins allows you drive up almost to the top and a short hike to the summit. The surrounding towns are real quaint too.
