• Embassy Cinema
  "Small. Convenient."
  "I really like smaller movie theaters and the Embassy fits the bill. It started as more of an art house theater with current indies and films you wouldn't see else where.

Still I love the size if the theaters. Parking is good. Lots of food choices on Moody Street. " More >

This was a perfect little boost before we got back on the road for the rest of our trip. " More >

There are benches and the grounds are very nicely kept. On a nice day it would be ..."a lovely place to sit on one of the benches to linger, listening to the rushing water or watching one of the squirrels or rabbits scurry about. We entered and were greeted by one of the several volunteers working there at the time. He gave us a little information and overview on the history of the mill and Francis Cabot Lowell. For many things, it is a "hands on" museum. We found exhibits on bicycles (with wooden rims), steam and electric engines, printing presses, an old fire engine, a working machine shop, models of trains, and an exhibit on the second floor filled with watches, time pieces, etc. made in the Waltham Watch Co. There is a small exhibit of early calculators and slide r... " More >
