Deserted Beach
[click image to enlarge]
Boats are still in the water at Bay Pointe Marina but the beach goers are few and far between here in Quincy Point. You can see the Clipper apartment building on Palmer Street in the background.

Oil Farm
[click image to enlarge]
Tankers will be increasing their visits to the Fore River to drop supplies of home heating oil into storage tanks like these in Quincy Point to ready the supplies. The Northeast is one of the few places in our country that relies heavily on oil to heat their homes. Our heating season runs from October through March.

Therese Abouzeid is an interior designer and along with her husband, Joe, have owned and operated Hancock Upholstering on Washington Street in Quincy Point for 38 years. Therese came to America from Lebanon as a bride, speaking very little or no English. She raised her family here, pursued an education in interior design and runs a very successful business along with her husband. Therese graciously agreed to let me take her picture for my Quincy workers series . . . doesn't she have a beautiful smile?

Safe Moorings

These boats, moored at the Bay Pointe Marina in Quincy Point, will start to disappear one by one as the boating season winds down and autumn kicks in. I've noticed that not only the air is changing but the light as well. Enjoy your Sunday.

Remnants

This steel framework is one of the many remaining structures being dismantled at the former Quincy Shipyard site. At one time there were 32,000 workers working in this "yard". Neighboring residents knew the time of day by the shift whistles that blew day and night.

A Snug Harbor

This is a view of Quincy Point taken from one of Quincy's 3 peninsulas, Snug Harbor. The tank farm across the bay is located on the Southern Artery. If you click and enlarge the photo you will see the "litter patrol" at work on the right side . . . a sure sign that spring is coming.

Sunday is For Church
[click image to enlarge]
Pictured here is one of the earliest church buildings in Quincy. When first constructed in 1832, the First Universalist Church was a simple Greek Revival structure built on the corner of Elm and Washington Streets in the Quincy Point neighborhood for a sum of $5003.01. The church had numerous regular and supply ministers including Reverend Fannie Austin, who was resident pastor from 1911 to 1913 and believed to be the only woman pastor of a Quincy church, until the late 20th century. The church now belongs to the Assembly of God religious sect and is called Glad Tidings Church.
