12/26/15 - It's unusually warm for December so let's go on a photo tour around Melrose

My Mom's house! Not for much longer though, it's on the market!

Looking up Meridian St

Hi, cat

Typical suburbia

The roads around here can be a little rough

Looking West into downtown Melrose

Becky's old dance school. I can't tell if it shut down or if the exterior is just all messed up

Main Street, Melrose

This was my "playground" during the brief stint I did at Catholic school

The Catholic school. I lasted one semester. I didn't like them and they didn't like me.

St. Mary's, my old church

..yep

Nice building, I guess

This is the bank where they filmed the opening scenes of The Town

This guy should clearly be doing one of the Y-M-C-A letter poses

Walking along Main Street

I love the smell of this hardware store. Is that weird?

City Hall

Fire department

I only know this is that building where I go to see Becky perform in The Nutcracker

This used to be Caruso's and had some pretty great pizza

Wait, is Melrose Co-Op a Bank of America now?

The Gazebo at Ell Pond

Ell Pond can look pretty nice

Lakeside!

What are gazebos even for?

Continuing on

The Vietnam War memorial. Dad's friend Scott Andresen is on here.

I used to take this curvy road when walking to school

The Fellsway

MHS!

In the winter this was always completely covered in ice and I would fall on it all the time

Oh jeez, I know this place

Melrose High School

I spent a lot of time hanging out down here waiting for a ride

The entrance to the school

Hey, Abby donated a brick!

And Dr. Burke!

The new Middle School has some nice elements

Shadows and light

This area is uh.. hm.

This wasn't here before

Anybody home? Ms. Whitner?

Standing in the Fellsway is inadvisable

Walking back to Mom's house

Having this license plate is just asking for trouble
