"What’s next for McCoy Stadium now that the Pawtucket Red Sox have decided to pursue a new home field in Worcester?
There’s a good chance it’s not professional baseball affiliated with a big-league team such as the Red Sox or Yankees, if Minor League Baseball territorial rules are any indication.
Meant to protect teams from competition in their home markets, these rules have put Worcester within the PawSox territory for years, preventing another Single-A, Double-A or Triple-A team tied to a Major League franchise from playing in the city.
If the PawSox leave for Worcester in 2021, as they said last Friday they plan to, the shoe will be on the other foot, with Pawtucket trapped in Worcester’s territory, which includes large chunks of Rhode Island and Massachusetts."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
What is next for McCoy Stadium? |
"The celebrated of St. Rocco may have seen its last big festival, but by this time next year it will have a new and far more visible home.
The statue formerly sat in the old St. Mary’s convent grounds, an area that hasn’t seen much use other than for the annual Feast of St. Rocco festival. With the festival wrapping up last weekend after a 40-year run, church officials say they will move the statue to a new home in front of St. Mary’s, 1 Church Square.
“What I thought it was important to do was to take the statue of St. Rocco from over there, and place it at our new entrance, which is for everyone,” said the Rev. Brian Manning, pastor at St. Mary Parish. “He’s the beacon of welcoming people, and healing and hope in our lives.”Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
"The Pawtucket Red Sox and the city have signed an agreement that clears the way for the Triple A team to move here and play in a stadium that will be built on the former Wyman-Gordon property near Kelley Square.
City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. emphasized Friday that the project involves more than just bringing a minor league baseball team to Worcester and building a ballpark for it.
He said it includes a large-scale redevelopment of 18 acres of largely vacant and blighted property in the Kelley Square area that will add to the ongoing revitalization of the Canal District and transform that part of the city.
In addition to construction of a 10,000-seat multi-use stadium, at an estimated cost of $86 million to $90 million, the deal includes a development blueprint that calls for $90 million in private development for 225 market-rate apartments, a 150-room hotel, a second boutique hotel consisting of about 100-110 rooms overlooking the ballpark, and 65,000 square feet of retail/restaurants."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

"Bellingham resident and author Marjorie Turner Hollman has just completed the third in her “Easy Walks” local trail guide series, Easy Walks and Paddles in the Ten Mile River Watershed, this time in partnership with the Ten Mile River Watershed Council.
Members of the Ten Mile River Watershed Council worked together with Hollman to create this guide to 39 outdoor spaces in the towns that host the river. The series now covers 34 towns in south central and southeastern Massachusetts, and three Rhode Island towns along Massachusetts’ southern border -- more than 120 trails in all.
Looking for places to walk with your family and/or friends, or with your dog? Hoping to spend time in the outdoors on a trail that is handicapped friendly? Want to find a new place to walk that is right around the corner from where you live? Or maybe you have a canoe or kayak but don’t know how to find safe canoe launches.
Find information to satisfy all these needs, and more, with maps to each trail head, in each of the books in the series."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
