With Your Coffee

University of Vermont Alumni House, 61 Summit Street.

Happy weekend and happy Preservation Month! And, Happy Mother’s Day! I’ve rounded up recent links for your weekend reading.

• In honor of Preservation Month, watch this movie about Jane Jacobs: Citizen Jane. (Note: if you can’t see it in person, you can watch it via Verizon or AT&T on demand.)
• A volunteer historical society in Putney, VT is running the Putney General Store after it has suffered a series of losses and challenges.
• A new use for a historic church.
• The 1980s/1990s mansions of the Hamptons (Long Island, NY) are being demolished for new homes. What do you think of that?
• This basketball court in Paris dates to 1893. Not quite how they are built today!
• Prohibition in Vermont.
• The debate on playgrounds being too creative.
• A modernist house, House II, in Hardwick, VT is for sale.

Have a lovely weekend, and hopefully spring is on its way to you. Cheers!
