Had our wedding at this museum over the weekend, and although the venue is beautiful, the staff was…read moreextremely unprofessional, antagonistic, and inappropriate. All of our vendors were treated extremely poorly by the staff, they were very unwelcoming to myself and my groom and were disinterested in actually helping us with any requests, even something as simple as dimming the lights during the reception. Staff was rude to our caterers, our DJ, our coordinators, and had no interest in problem solving. The removed art from the reception area (even though we literally picked the venue for the art). Overall it was horrific experience. Museum is beautiful and would likely be a wonderful location for a wedding if there was a staffing update. Would not recommend hosting an event here.

I give two stars not because there was anything wrong with the museum, but because of the poor…read morevalue. I went here on one of those "Free Fun Fridays" hosted by the Highland Street Foundation. Ordinarily, it costs $7 for adult admission. I am accounting for this fact in the review because the other 364 days of the year are not free. I have no problem paying to get into a museum, but again, it is not a question of costs, but rather one of value. The museum is one small room, the hall with the main desk (with a few photos around), and a larger, much more open hall about the size of a large chapel, or really small church. Suffice it to say, unless you wish to carefully examine all the works, the museum can be viewed in under 45 minutes (and even that is pushing it) I am a fan of photography, and I would love to see the always changing displays in this museum. However, my concern returns to the fact that for a tiny room, a large room, and a few paintings in the area with ticket desk costs $7. However, if you are a die-hard photography fan, they have some books, and some really old camera equipment you can look at and purchase (I don't know if old cameras are for sale).

I recently visited this PLACE, SONS OF ITALY and unfortunately, I had an extremely disappointing…read moreexperience that compelled me to share my thoughts. It pains me to write this review, but it is crucial to shed light on the racism exhibited by the restaurant owner and Staff. During my visit, I couldn't help but notice the discriminatory behavior of the staff. Their blatant racist remarks and discriminatory actions towards certain customers including myself were shocking and completely unacceptable. It created an unwelcoming and uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone present. Aside from the racism, I must also comment on the overall quality of the establishment. The food was subpar, lacking flavor and freshness. The service was slow, and the staff seemed disinterested and disengaged, likely reflecting the toxic environment created by the owner. As a customer, I believe it is important to support inclusive and respectful businesses that value diversity. Unfortunately, this restaurant falls far from meeting these basic expectations. It is disheartening to witness such bigotry in this day and age. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. this place should be closed down

I had taken a pottery class before (in another state) and I was feeling "meh" about it after that - I didn't seem to get it and ruined more pieces than I finished. Turns out, it wasn't me - I hadn't found a great teacher. Knaide, who teaches the classes and runs the studio (@raticalclay on instagram), is that great teacher I needed. Since starting at Studio on the Common I have fallen in love with throwing pottery. Knaide is so clear in teaching instruction, gives very specific advice, will readily demonstrate useful hand positions, has been able to answer any question I've asked, and clearly is extremely knowledgable about the craft. While the studio itself is also very organized and clean, I admit I signed up for a second class mainly because I still want teaching from Knaide. As long as Knaide is teaching there, I will continue to sign up for future classes!

I cannot wait to get married so I can hire Lyn from Winchester's Florist!…read more I was recently a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding and on a very stressful day Lyn made things so easy. She delivered all the flowers to where we were having our photographs taken, she set up the flowers at the church and pinned the boutineers on the groomsmen, also arranged all the centerpieces at the reception venue. The personal touch really meant a lot. It was definitely nice to have one less thing to worry about. I mentioned how easy she was to work for because the flowers really speak for themselves.
