Explanation.

My name is Andrue Coombes, and I live in the State of Massachusetts. There are 298 towns and 53 cities in Massachusetts. It's my goal to visit each and every one of these places, take a picture of myself with the "Entering ___" sign, and interact with both the social and physical geography of the area. In this blog, I will write a story about my visit to each place, and things I did there, as well as post pictures and other things of interest. Hopefully I will complete this within the next few years, and everyone can notice how beautiful things can be in their own state if they just get out of and experience them! Good luck on all of your travels!

PITTSFIELD!



Moving along, we came across the city of Pittsfield! Pittsfield is a wonderful city nestled along the Berkshires, full of beautiful buildings, with a wonderful display of the mountains behind it. Many of the buildings in Pittsfield were very old in appearance, while still looking well kept and cared for. The high school looked like a capital building, and many other buildings throughout the city looked very official. In 1902, during a presidential visit to Pittsfield by Theodore Roosevelt, a trolly crashed into the Presidential carriage, killing one secret service agent (which was the first secret service agent ever killed on presidential detail) and injuring President Roosevelt!
