Hear Ye, Hear Ye: The List!

Here's the list of things in New England that we've never done despite a combined 48 years of New England residency. It's funny how you can miss experiencing some of the most obvious parts of your home town/ state/ region, especially when you've been living there for so long. We discovered how fun it was to go exploring in Minnesota, and we're excited to explore again a place we should have known better from the start.

They're marked with initials, for the person who hasn't done/ seen it yet. And we're open to suggestions! (So far poor Connecticut and Vermont are severely underrepresented. Is there anything cool at all there besides the Merritt Parkway and syrup, respectively?)

    There are clearly not enough food-related, gorging-yourselves items on the list. Y'all need to work on that. :) - Becky

    Well, if you're ever in Portland (Maine ... duh), go to Tony's Donuts. Good stuff. Better than any in, say, Minneapolis.

    Yo! So I was sent over to Countway to look up some articles for work and I decided to procrastinate a bit. I went to the medical museum and I stumbled across Phineas Gauge's skull. It was a pretty awesome random find. When we studied that crap in med school I got to name drop. I was like "psshhhawww, I saw this dude's skull! Eat it, bammmmm, teach this sucka, KABLOOOOOIE!"
    "Kablooie?"
    "Kablooie."
