Miss Worcester Diner

The Miss Worcester Diner or Worcester Lunch Car # 812 is a historic diner at 302 Southbridge Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was built in 1948 by Worcester Lunch Car Company and is located across the street from the company's (now defunct) Worcester factory. While independently owned and operated, it was used by the Lunch Car Company as a "showroom" diner, and a testbed for new features. History According to Worcester city records, a diner was operating on the site since at least the late 1930s, although they did not bear the "Miss Worcester" name. In 1948 the Worcester Lunch Car Company manufactured diner #812 for Dino Sotiropoulos, delivering it on June 14. However, he is listed as operating the "Star Diner" in 1949, only taking the name "Miss Worcester" in 1950. He and family partners ran the business until 1963, after which it has had a succession of owners. The diner sits on a small portion of a larger parcel, most of which is occupied by a c. 1870 brick textile mill building. Directly across Quinsigamond Avenue is the factory in which the diner was built. The diner body is seven bays wide and three deep, and is attached to a concrete block kitchen addition that was built c. 1948. The diner has the classic barrel-shaped roof, with canopies extending over the entrances, which are on the short ends of the structure. The walls are paneled in enamel that is yellow with light blue trim. Inside the diner, there is a marble counter extending most of the length of the diner, excepting staff access points at the ends. Customers sit at fourteen metal stools with red details. There are five booths lining the south (front) wall, but these are plywood laminate replacements. Also covering the walls of the diner are stickers that range from trade unions, to local sports teams and colleges, and even various activities the patrons have participated in over the years. In contrast to the lighter colors on the exterior, the interior color scheme is darker, with wood tones and dark red coloring accented by cream and steel. The diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Mission Chapel

The Mission Chapel is an historic church in Worcester, Massachusetts. A rare example of the early Victorian Norman (or "Romanesque in panel") styling, it was built by Ichabod Washburn in 1854, and is one of the city's oldest church buildings. The exterior side walls are divided into bays separated by piers which rise to a layer of corbelling, with a second layer of corbelling just below the eave. The main facade is divided into three bays, with arched windows in the gable. The Evangelical City Missionary Society, for whom the chapel was built, was established by a group of local Protestant congregations as a missionary site for serving the city's poor and needy. The building was rented out for commercial purposes during the mid-20th century, but has otherwise been used for religious and missionary purposes. The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Mission House (Massachusetts)

Das Mission House wurde in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Stockbridge im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten durch den Missionar John Sergeant errichtet. Es ist als National Historic Landmark im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen und wird heute von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations als Museum betrieben. Geschichte Das tatsächliche Baudatum des Hauses ist nicht eindeutig feststellbar. John Sergeant, der erste Missionar für die dort lebenden Mahican-Indianer, erhielt das Grundstück bereits im Zuge der Gründung der Stadt Stockbridge im Jahr 1739, jedoch wird das Gebäude erstmals 1742 erwähnt. Das Haus wurde zunächst auf dem Prospect Hill errichtet, jedoch in den 1920er Jahren durch Mabel Choate – damals Eigentümerin des heutigen Schutzgebiets Naumkeag – an seinen heutigen Standort umgesetzt. Die Stockbridge Mission House Association schenkte es den Trustees zur weiteren Verwaltung im Jahr 1948. Von 1928 bis 1933 konzipierte und errichtete der renommierte Landschaftsarchitekt Fletcher Steele die Gärten des Hauses im Stil der Colonial-Revival-Architektur. In einem gesondert angelegten Küchengarten finden sich noch heute mehr als 100 Kräuter sowie Ausdauernde Pflanzen und Einjährige Pflanzen, die für die frühen Kolonisten entweder kulinarische oder medizinische Bedeutung hatten. Als Eingang zum Grundstück dient heute ein Nachbau eines Verkaufsstands für Cobbler. Im Haus selbst kann eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Einrichtungsgegenständen und Möbeln aus dem 18. Jahrhundert besichtigt werden. Über den Hinterhof gelangt man zu einem kleinen Bereich, in dem die Geschichte der Mahican-Indianer zum einen anhand von Artefakten dargestellt wird, die Mabel Choate in den 1930er Jahren sammelte, zum anderen aber auch mittels Geschichten von den heute lebenden Nachfahren.

Monarch Diner

The Owl Diner, formerly known as the Monarch Diner is a historic diner at 246 Appleton Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. The diner was built by Worcester Lunch Car Company as #749 in 1940, and was originally located in Waltham, Massachusetts, where it operated as the Monarch Diner. In 1951 the diner was moved to its present location in Lowell. The manufactured portion of the diner is nine bays wide and four deep, with enamel wall panels and a metal monitor-shaped roof; it is a rare regional example of a semi-streamlined form. Its present center entry was probably built when the diner was moved, as was the concrete block addition in the rear which houses the kitchen and restrooms. A second addition on the diner's south end adds seating space; it was probably added between 1952 and 1966. The diner is the last (out of sixteen) that once operated in the city. The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Lowell, Massachusetts References

Monomoy offers 20 interscholastic athletic teams along with multiple club and intramural teams. As of 2023, Monomoy is a member of the Cape & Islands League, which competes in the Division 4 level of athletic competition in Massachusetts, and is affiliated with the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. In May 2015, Monomoy Regional High School gained approval from the South Shore League at the annual league meeting to leave the league and join the Cape & Islands League, citing travel expenses and competition as the main factors regarding their departure. Monomoy was a member of the South Shore League since the mid-1990s. The change took effect during the beginning of the 2016–17 academic year. The football team's league affiliation was in question due to the change, as the Cape & Islands League did not sponsor football. As of 2023, the Sharks play in the new Cape and Islands League Lighthouse Division. With the departure of Monomoy, Mashpee is left as the South Shore League's lone representative from Cape Cod. During the Fall 2023 season, both Girls Field Hockey and Boys Soccer advanced to the MIAA State Finals.

Monomoy Wilderness

The Monomoy Wilderness is a 3,244-acre (13 km2) wilderness area south of Cape Cod in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. It is located within the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge and is administered by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Severe winter storms isolated Monomoy Point from the mainland in 1958 and, 20 years later, separated North Monomoy Island from South Monomoy Island. Sand dunes on the eastern shore of the islands give way to salt marsh and then to mudflats on the western shore. The ecosystem is a perfect habitat for migratory birds. Dubbed a sanctuary for wildlife in 1944, most of Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge has been designated wilderness. This includes the entire north island and all but two tracts on the south island. The mainland portion of the Refuge is not wilderness. Wildlife Among the migratory birds seen in the Monomoy Wilderness are grebes, shearwaters, petrels, gannets, bitterns, egrets, herons, swans, geese, ducks, and the endangered piping plover and roseate tern. Hundreds of grey and harbor seals winter along the coastline as well.

Selva Monomoy

La selva Monomoy es un área silvestre de 3244 hectáreas (13 km²) al sur de los Estados Unidos, en el estado de Massachusetts.​ Se encuentra dentro del Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre de Monomoy.​ Las fuertes tormentas de invierno aislaron al punto Monomoy de la parte continental en 1958 y, 20 años después, se separó de la Isla Norte de Monomoy. Las dunas de arena en la costa oriental de la isla dan paso a la marisma y luego a las marismas en la costa occidental. El ecosistema es un hábitat ideal para las aves migratorias.​ Declarado como un santuario para la vida silvestre en 1944, la mayoría del Refugio Nacional de Monomoy ha sido designado como una selva. Esto incluye todo el norte de la isla y todos menos dos tramos de la isla en la parte sur. La parte continental del Refugio no es propiamente una selva.​ La selva se encuentra protegida por el Servicio de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de los Estados Unidos.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Este artículo incorpora texto de wilderness.net, la cual está en el dominio público.
