Two kitties were having lunch on a neighbor's steps.

Here's a noteworthy castle on a hill.
Worcester Street (Route 9) was once an interurban electric railway (long-distance streetcar line) between Boston and Worcester. This view is looking east from Cedar Street in Wellesley. There is a pretty good Chinese restaurant just out of the picture on the right. In the distance the interchange with Route 128 can be seen, beyond which Worcester Street passes the mouth of Hemlock Gorge and becomes Boylston Street, Newton.
This house at the corner of Cedar and Walnut Streets probably dates from the mid nineteenth century.

This is the Charles River footbridge as seen from the Newton side.
Arthur T. Gregorian Oriental Rugs, on Route 16, is one of WCRB's longest running advertisers. The Boston Marathon will pass this way the day after tomorrow.
This office building at the corner of Route 16 and Concord Street dates from the eighteenth century.
St. Mary's Episcopal Church on Concord Street, the oldest church building in Newton, was built in 1813. I sing in the choir here. Tomorrow is Easter.
