The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

On This Day, October 25, 2020 in Lowell, Massachussetts, I Took These Photos

 

Swamp Locks. Water is already drained for the season. They never had boat rides this year due to all the construction.
New Lowell Justice Center.

Looking up Canal Street. Appleton Mills on right.
So much construction on tiny Canal St. for new apartments/condos.

This was taken in front of Appleton Mills. A new road to the parking garage. Apartments will be above. The picture below was taken many months later to give you an idea of what the area looks like now.


The canal was drained.

New parking garage next to the Visitors Center.



Looking up to Dutton Street and Broadway Street.

UM Lowell parking lot, Broadway Street.
