Pawtucket Falls is the name of a waterfall on the Merrimack River at Lowell, Massachusetts. The waterfall and rapids below it drop a total of 32 feet in a little under a mile, and was an important fishing ground for the Pennacook Indians in pre-colonial times.
This location was used as a benchmark for delineating the Northern boundary of Massachusetts, which was frequently disputed between the Province of Massachusetts Bay and the Province of New Hampshire. The issue was finally resolved in 1740, when it was decreed that the boundary run along a curved line three miles from the river between the ocean and a point three miles north of Pawtucket Falls, where the river begins to turn north. From there a line was to be drawn due west.
The existence of these falls as a barrier to travel along the river necessitated the construction of the Pawtucket Canal in the last decade of the 18th century. In the 1820s, the falls, the canal, and the hydropower they provided lead to the choosing of this site as America's first planned factory town, Lowell. Over the next 30 years, hydropower from the falls exclusively ran Lowell's numerous textile factories via the city's canal system.
"Massachusetts" is a song by the Bee Gees, released in 1967. Written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. Robin Gibb sang lead vocals on this song and it would become one of his staple songs to perform during concerts on both Bee Gees and his solo concerts. It later appeared on their 1968 album, Horizontal.
The song was written in the Regis Hotel, New York City during a tour of the United States. The song was intended as an antithesis to flower power anthems of the time such as "Let's Go to San Francisco" and "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" in that the protagonist had been to San Francisco to join the hippies but was now homesick. The idea of the lights having gone out in Massachusetts was to suggest that everyone had gone to San Francisco.
It is the first album to not feature long time lead guitarist Neil Boshart and first to include new guitarist Paul-Marc Rousseau.
Background and recording
Silverstein announced they had signed with Hopeless on November 15, 2010. Vocalist Shane Told said the band have been "huge fans of the label since their inception". Hopeless released the band's Rescue (2011) album in April 2011 and Short Songs (2012) album in February 2012. In mid-to-late August, the band went on the Short Songs, Short Tour; the last tour they would go on before starting to work on a new album. In late September, the band announced that guitarist Neil Boshart hasn't been in the band for the preceding month and was replaced by Paul Marc Rousseau, who has previously worked for the band.This Is How the Wind Shifts was recorded at Sundown Studios in Guelph, Ontario, Canada with producer Jordan Valeriote. Valeriote also engineered and mixed the album. It was mastered by Troy Glessener at Spectre Mastering.

Abandoned Train Station | Rhode Island
A ghost station is a place that trains pass by or under without ever stopping. They used to be bustling transportation hubs, but now sit quietly and for the most part forgotten. This is one of those ghost stations, and it’s a big one, located in Rhode Island.

This station was built in 1916 at the peak of of industrial and population growth in this area, and it followed a fresh type of design. This one was built with pedestrian safety in mind, with the tracks constructed below and station above. This way you couldn’t just wander onto the tracks.
The station itself was designed by F.W. Mellor. architect for the New Haven Railroad. Mellor oversaw the railroad's early-twentieth-century reconstruction program, and even worked on Grand Central in New York City.
This beauty is 30,000 square feet, made up of brick and granite… and lemme tell you, it was poppin back in the day.
70,000 - that was the average number of passengers per month at this place…with up to 79 trains passing through every day. The crazy part was that this was all local traffic - lines stopping here didn’t go to the major hubs. You’d have to transfer down the line in Providence if you wanted to do that.
Don’t believe the hype? In 1952, Dwight Eisenhower even stopped here on his campaign trail. That alone tells you the draw this place had at one point.
The station sits above what is known today as Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. It was a major social hub, so of course it had a lot to offer. If we check out the original floor plan, you can see it’s got two levels; the upper level housed the massive waiting room along with a barber shop, restaurant, ticket office, and baggage areas. The lower level is the outdoor track level with two island platforms providing access to all four tracks.
The reason it closed in 1959 was because it was already falling into disrepair…and that just continued, even with the new owners and a flea market in the 70s. By 1981, when service and all activity here completely stopped, it was in even worse shape.
There were efforts to save this place. In 1984 the station was considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, but The Review Board voted unanimously to de-fer consideration of the prOperty pending the performance and report of a study of the railroad station’s structural integrity. So it was denied, the station was cleaned up a bit and inspected… There is good news though - In 1997 was labeled a "significant property" and has been formally determined eligible for listing in the National Register, which does provide it some protections.
I have a lot of fun researching, exploring, and filming these places - thank you for watching and supporting me.

The federal government recognizes the name "Blackstone River" for the body of water that flows down from Massachusetts to the falls in downtown Pawtucket, and says, when the river goes over the falls, ...
While some of the material containing hazardous substances came from the Pawtucket/Central Falls commuter rail station project, the bulk of it was trucked across the state line from Massachusetts.
"It was a pretty narrow band of heavy, heavy rain.". How much rain fell? ...Central Falls had 3.52 inches, Pawtucket had 2.7 inches, and in Massachusetts, Rehoboth had 7.44 inches, Smith said. More. RI's drought worsens. Here's what Sen ... That was a mistake.
