From February 2019 the New Lowell Quarters, in 2020 a New Lowell Garage, and a New North Station in Boston.


On Wednesday, February 6, 2019, the U. S. Mint and the Lowell Historic National Park celebrated the release of a new quarter that, Honors Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts.

For more information about description and specifications, see my blog post of February 10, 2019, at this link: 
 
The quarters are silver, not gold-looking as my photo shows.

A postcard was printed, the photo is a perfect representation of our mill city.
 Postcard, front, and back.

The below February photos show road work and construction continued during the days, with no interference of ice or snow.

Straight ahead is Broadway, and across is Dutton Street. The visitor parking lot is to the right.
The signature bridge is now in place, but it took two more years before we could go over it. Soon the crane appeared.

Look below to see how much work they did in two weeks.
The photo was taken on February 14, 2020.

There are no other photos for February and March for Lowell (just others from various day trips that I took). Because of this, I thought some people, would like to see a few pictures of the new North Station taken on February 23, 2019.  As you can see, major changes were made to North Station.

The outside parking lot is now covered with shops and office space.
