Step back in time (with drinks in hand of course)!! This duckpin bowling alley was built in the 1920s by Hope Webbing Company in an effort to prevent employees from unionizing (I can't make this stuff up!). Everything is exactly as it was in 1920. Local high school kids hand stack the pins and roll the balls back your way (zero machinery). It's honestly the coolest place for drinks plus random sport!! Kid friendly during the day, more adult scene at night.

Just down the street, super laid back, even kid friendly. This is a straight up brewery and they are not trying to impress anyone with the place, just the beer. Sample some of their finest and play some board games or corn hole. I don't think they are open very late so check out their website maybe.

Well maybe not "hiking" trail but a beautiful trail all the same. Walking distance from our place, the blvd has a walking/running trail through the center with hundreds or mature trees and some pretty beautiful, old homes to check out along the way. 1.5 miles in either direction so you can get in a lovely 3+ mile walk/run any time of the day.

Take me out to the ball game...We love the Paw Sox and feel blessed that the stadium is just around the corner. This is a fantastic and inexpensive way to take the entire family to real ball game. Outfield seating is a thin strip of grass and great for kids. They are welcome to run around like crazy animals. Fireworks after most games!!!

Hop on the bike path literally at the end of Paris St. (our street) and follow the lane down Blackstone Blvd. It will take you through the east side and then along the water all the way to Bristol and Colt State Park. Over 15 miles each way. Relatively flat once you get to the water.
