Don't Strike a Match Here!
Heading up to the beach in Rockport? Consider a side trip to this strange and wonderful roadside attraction - "The Paper House," made entirely of newspapers! This is (perhaps the weirdest) one of 250 literary sites on the new Literary Map of Massachusetts, an online site in development by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. Thanks to MCB Executive Director Sharon Shaloo for this tip! Map
