A hike up to Scott Tower. Completed in 1942, this 54 foot tall structure was built as part of "Anniversary Park," created in 1923 to honor the 50 year anniversary of the town of Holyoke. The park is now permanently closed and abandoned. It's a 1 mile walk to the summit of Craft Hill where the tower sits. There is a staircase that leads up to the top where you can enjoy views of the surrounding area. There are also many overgrown trails and staircases that lead up the hill but I wouldn't recommend taking them. Because there are also warnings everywhere about ticks which are becoming a very serious problem currently due to the effects of climate change.

Rest Stop, Highway 91

Cars parked alongside a chain-link fence overlooking houses that have no view,    plates from three bordering states aglow       in the light from a hillside billboard    filled with a glass of milk—Holyoke just beyond the notch, slumbering    like a rain-soaked paper on the porch—      checkout boys from the local A&P    hanging up their aprons, clocking out on a night that is young only once    in a stranger’s car—the taste of skin       on clandestine tongues, freckled swirls    down creamy backs in constellations left unnamed, stiff cocks under boxers     crammed into that vinyl dark perfumed        by a four-inch cardboard pine dangling     above the illuminated dash, windows veiled with frost. They say the leaves will fall     earlier this year, like so many apples        plastered on the hill, wooden barrels     filling up with rain while children turn in their sleep—deaf to the sound of engines    running, their fathers behind the wheel.

New Haven Railroad wood caboose C-347 is spotted on a siding at Holyoke, Massachusetts, March 24, 1934

New Haven Railroad wood caboose C-347 is spotted on a siding at Holyoke, Massachusetts, March 24, 1934. The line to Holyoke came from Westfield on a spur line where it connected to the main line (Canal Line) to New Haven. These home built wood caboose in the C-300 to C-419 were constructed using old box car steel underframes in the East Hartford Shops in 1927-1928.

Dot Dash Sounds (Brooklyn, New York) has absolutely nothing to do with the Washington D.C. band of the same name. TomDash - a WMFU DJ and creator of the label, and "Zax Armoire" is one of the first in what hopefully is many for the fledgling label.

The Bandcamp page has given us a RIYL of "Mudhoney, Dead Moon, Stooges, DMZ, Blue Cheer, Monoshock". And even though Red Herrings are based in Holyoke, Massachusetts I would add New York bands like The Men, Bambara and Cheena to the RIYL list.
