North End Walking Tour to Continue on November 6

 

On October 23 the Woonsocket Historical Society conducted a North End Walking Tour.  Unfortunately, the tour was cut short because of rain. 

On November 6 the tour will continue where it left off.  We will meet

at the corner of Winter Street and Woodland Road at 1:00 pm.  There is on-street parking on both Prospect and Woodland Road. 

 

Over the years the historical society has received many requests for a North End tour.  During  the summer, Irene Blais and historian Don Hoard have worked together  to research and develop the tour. 

 

Some of the streets we will walk are Winter, Prospect, Spring, Blackstone and a part of Harris Avenue.   The history and architecture of many homes will be discussed. 

 

The tour should last 1½ hours.  Please wear comfortable shoes.

Please join us in what will be an informative tour.

 

A special surprise is planned at the end!

 

This is a free tour.

 

Please call 595-3062 with inquiries.

Testimony resumes this morning in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial in Lower Manhattan. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is expected to take the stand again. Before the trial resumes, Justice Juan Merchan has called a hearing to decide if Trump has violated his gag order that prohibits him from criticizing witnesses, jurors and others involved in the case.       President Biden is set to deliver a speech on reproductive freedom today in Tampa. The stop comes ahead of the six-week abortion ban that goes into effect in Florida, and other swing states like Georgia and South Carolina, on May 1st.        Tensions remain high as protesters on a growing number of college campuses continue to call attention to the crisis in the Middle East. Demonstrators at Columbia University say they want the school to divest from companies they say profit from Israel's violations of international law.       The Supreme Court will hear arguments in two big cases today. The first involves a man from El Salvador who was denied a visa to be with his wife, an American citizen, in the U.S. He learned he was rejected because an official saw his tattoos and suspected he might have a criminal background. The other case involves whether the National Labor Relations Board can order employers to rehire workers they say were fired without just cause.       Construction of a high-speed, electric rail line between Las Vegas and Los Angeles is underway. The route is projected to cut the travel time between the cities from about three-to-four hours to a little more than two. The 218-mile rail line is expected to open to the public by 2028.       The NBA playoffs continued on Monday with a trio of games. The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up a 96-86 win over the Orlando Magic at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. At Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks took down the Philadelphia 76ers 104-101. And in Denver, the reigning champion Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 101-99.
