Adam Pieniazek: Five Things I Adore about Dorchester

  • netbet · 2 months ago
    Thanks a million for this post! It’s always so nice when the person really likes the native place. Today many people move from one city to another, some of them for work others - just for pleasure. They don’t think much and often can’t say anything about the history and the sights of the city where they live. It’s the great pleasure to read this text which is full of love to Dorchester, I’d like to visit the place which causes such positive emotions.

    Dorchester is a loveable place. Leonard Nemoy is from here. So is the man who played the scarecrow in the film version of the Wizard of Oz. So are many, many other people. The old Dot is home town to all sorts of folks you've never heard of who have made good. Thanks, Adam, for hitting the highlights. Dorchester, Dorchester, uber alles.

    I didn't know about the Polish Triangle or that it was designated thus. I will check out Pollonia and Sugar Bowl. It's funny how many of us adore the same things about our great big community.
    thanks for letting me know that Carpenter's Hall is the name of the building that's going up. I have been wondering what it was. Ditto about Dorchester being the birth place of Leonard Nimoy.

    Yup, the designation was fairly recent ( I believe this year, or within the past year), but it's appropriate, for some reason Polish people cluster to this little triangular space.

    I think we adore the same things because those are Dorchester's strengths and likely the reason many Dot residents chose the area. Happy Adore-Chester day!

    Good to know about your polish connection.

    Leonard Nimoy - great the way these little bits of trivia leak out about a place. I'm just near the site of the bloodiest battle of the English civil war !
