Happy Birthday To Franklin Matters
A belated birthday wish to Franklin Matters!
How quickly a year passes! I created this site to separate the Franklin posts from the rest at Steve's 2 Cents. The first post on this site was November 9, 2007. Over 1200 posts later, it is still going.
Where?
That question you can help me answer.
What should there be more of?
What should there be less of?

Where in Franklin? Answer #50
Maybe due to vacations, we did not get an answer to picture #50.
So getting back into the swing of things (after some of my own vacation), here the answer to #50 was found on Dean Ave with the blue shuttered/white clapboard building belonging to the Franklin Lumber Co.
Stay tuned for the next opportunity.

Where in Franklin? Answer #49
Yes, after some time focused on the override, the Where in Franklin series will resume.
This entry had been provided by Susan Speers. The location was identified by Joel D'Errico. Susan described the location as:"It's on one of the trails on the protected open space around Franklin Woods, off Lincoln Street. Land owned by Metacomet Land Trust, which links with Conservation Commission land."
Thanks for playing!
Stay tuned for the next opportunity.

Franklin Center Commons: roof's on
I did not get around to posting this picture from our walk Saturday morning but the roof is now on the condominium building located down behind the store fronts along Main St.
King Street - sidewalk detour reasons gone
When King Street was re-done, the sidewalk took a turn to go around two stately trees.
Alas, the trees are no longer.
The sidewalk however, still makes the curve around what used to be.

Where in Franklin? #48
Hmm, barbed wire, big tank. Is this as large as the molasses tank that created the flood in Boston?
Where do you find this tank in Franklin?

Where in Franklin? Answer #47
Yes, the answer to picture #47 is the Church of the Latter Day Saints on Jordan Road.
ltsjs, can you send me an email with your answer and let someone else try to guess in the comments? Assuming you are first and correct, you'll still get credit. You would help let others participate.
Stay tuned for the next opportunity.
Thanks to all for playing!

Where in Franklin? #47
Hmm, where you see this in Franklin?

Where in Franklin? Answer #46
Yes, the white bubble shown in picture #46 does belong to the Adirondack Club on Chestnut St here in Franklin.
I see twin bubbles during the winter from the train as it passes the Adirondack. Then around the middle or end of May (depending upon the weather), the bubbles come down for the summer only to go up again come September.
Thanks for playing.
Stay tuned for the next opportunity to play "Where in Franklin?"
