Fo anyone on the front (Market Street) side of the building (or anyone who wants to find a viewing spot on the front side of the building), turn out your lights and take a look at the smokestack next to the Market Mills complex. There’s an interesting bunch of red and green dots wandering around on it.
Don’t know who’s projecting them, but I got a kick out of them once I realized I wasn’t imagining things!

I’m not sure this link will work if one isn’t a Facebook user, but I thought people might be interested in getting a glimpse of our area from way back when. Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/LowellHistoricBoard/videos/1702609023106332/

From a resident (Connie M.):
Hi all. I have been expecting an envelope via express mail from France. I’m told it was delivered Friday but it is not with me. Perhaps you got it by mistake? It’s very important and time sensitive. If you find it please leave it at unit 119. Thanks!
Has anyone used Bathfitters to redo their tub/shower? We’re wondering how their enclosures hold up. I believe that our unit has its original shower surround and tub from 30 years ago which has long since lost its shine and is pretty tough to get clean. Has anyone outright replaced their tub/shower? Who did you use and how did it work out? We’re not interested in a stunning, designer bathroom, just in one that’s easier to keep clean.
Please feel free to respond in the comments or to e-mail me at admin@canalplaceone.com Thanks!
Is anyone interested in trading recipes from last week’s potluck Personally, I was wondering just what went into those little appetizers with the chopped tomato, olives, and cream cheese on some bread-like base,
If anyone wants to share their recipes just use the comment feature. Here’s the recipe for the Mongolian Beef that Charlie and I brought: https://therecipecritic.com/2015/08/slow-cooker-mongolian-beef/
Let’s see if I can get this right this time: Saturday’s potluck dinner goes from 5:30 until 8:00. My apologies—it’s been a long week.
Oops! The times for the potluck are 6:00 to 8:00 (that “4:30” was a typo).
The Canal Place potluck gathering is coming up on Saturday, November 4th from 4:30 to 8:00 in the first floor atrium. For more information and to let the organizers know you’ll be coming—and what you’ll be bringing—please click here.
For those of you who’ve already signed up, please remember to bring (in addition to your contribution of food) serving utensils, your own beverage, and chairs. Napkins, cups, plates, and eating utensils are being provided.
My husband and I have been here for 8 years and this the first time there’s been a building-wide social event. We’re really looking forward to it and hope to see you there!
