They also do a kick ass framing job with every type of picture frame you could imagine. There is one particular Connecticut artist something Roy who paints these bright sheep paintings...so cute! And he's featured in the Starbucks right down the street. Even if you're not going to buy anything, this place is so fun to walk through. It's like a free museum with a really friendly staff. It's right next to the Bagel shop and Old Navy on Rt. 3A in Hingham.

Mix: a bunch of model train enthusiasts (including current and former train engineers and MBTA…read moreemployees); a former WWII building way out in the woods; a roomful of small, mostly male children and their people; beautifully sculpted small scale scenery that looks like a special effects set, some of which is still under construction, with model trains running through them. To the delight of the under-5 set, even Thomas the Tank Engine made an appearance. Open to the public twice a year, this is a fun way to spend an afternoon. The lighting is bad, the spaces are a little tricky, and it might be a little overwhelming to find so many people into model trains. (It felt like a comic book convention, but with trains.) For small boys--especially those like mine who are really into trains--this is a little bit o' heaven. It may even be a gateway into the grander, and possibly expensive, world of model trains. It may even inspire new wood, plastic, and/or Duoplo track layouts that will take over your living room. There are vendors selling books, model train DVDs, and yes, lots and lots of model trains, tracks, and kits. We were topped out after an hour. I'd also like to add that the guys there were very cool with photos being taken. Admission was $5 for adults. It is possible to get there by public transportation. The West Hingham stop on the Greenbush commuter rail line is across the extremely busy street from the driveway. Then you walk down the mucky dirt driveway under construction with no sidewalks that goes on for at least 10 minutes. Just when you start to wonder where this place is, the parking lot appears.

When I was in college and grad school, I loved going to the movies and saw everything and anything…read morethat interested me. That hasn't been the case for years now particularly with all the options of enjoying movies at home. A good friend was visiting us from New Jersey for a few days last week and she and I decided to go see Spencer at one of Hingham's local movie theaters. This is a smaller multi-plex and we went to the 4pm showing. The particular theater was on the smaller side and given the time of day was not crowded at all which was nice. What wasn't nice is that walking in, the floor was littered with popcorn. Granted, two young men came in shortly after we arrived and started sweeping but the initial impression was a messy one. What was interesting was that we purchased our tickets a couple of hours ahead of time and then went to have lunch. When we returned to see the movie there was no one collecting tickets. We simply walked into the theater. I would never have done this but it was absolutely unnecessary for us to have had tickets. This is not the fault of the theater but the first 10 minutes or so was filled with actual commercial ads being shown on the screen. Ugh! Best not to come too early so you can avoid this. There were a couple of coming attractions which I always enjoy. I have found that often movie theaters have the sound turned up to a deafening level. Thankfully this was not the case here. The temperature of the theater was comfortable as the other problem is often excessive air conditioning or stuffiness. I still much prefer to watch movies at home. We have set up the family room with a big screen and surround sound. It was pleasant enough to be in an actual theater although this place needs to ensure cleaner floors prior to customers entering, and do a better job of checking tickets. I suspect, like many places, they currently must be short of help.

For starters the librarians are consistently helpful and top-notch. They go out of their way to help you find whatever it is you're looking for and to be available for assistance. The library building itself, while outwardly a bit dated in design, is light, airy and comfortable inside. Sign up for emails from the library on their website and you will hear about upcoming musical concerts, art exhibits, movie showings, the book club, lectures, readings by authors, and a host of other offerings. The library has its own gallery where you can regularly view all kinds of art. In addition to the books, the library has terrific DVD and CD collections. There is art work that you can borrow too and museum passes available. And all this is free! We're so lucky to have a great library system in general but the Hingham library is really something special. It's a great place to spend time.
