The Fig Newton;


Originally, the Fig Newton was just called the Newton. There is an old rumor that James Henry Mitchell, the funnel machine's inventor, named the cookies after that great physicist Sir Isaac Newton, but that was just a rumor. The cookies were named after the Massachusetts town of Newton, which was close to Kennedy Biscuits. Kennedy Biscuits had a tradition of naming cookies and crackers after the surrounding towns near Boston. The name changed from Newton to Fig Newton, Later the name changed to Fig Newton Cookies.

"I wanted to make a song about where I'm from
You know
Big up my home town, my territory, my state
But I couldn't figure out much to brag about
Prince lives here, we got 10,000 lakes..."

 

Living in Wimbledon, our whole town is gridlocked with tennis fans for 2 weeks every year. Strawberries and cream anyone.????

Stone Gate
and
SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF THE STONE GATE

The Stone Gate is part of the remains of the city walls that once stood around the old town. Although it was first mentioned in 1429, it is assumed to have been built in 1266. Throughout the city's long history it has undergone many reconstructions and was devastated by fire more than once.
The last such fire destroyed much of Gradec (the old town; the medieval nucleus of the city) on 31 May 1731, burning down houses that were close to the Stone Gate. The Gate displayed a painting of the Mother of God, which was miraculously undamaged by the fire. To commemorate the event, grateful citizens built a chapel within the arch of the old Stone Gate. The chapel, which still houses the painting of the Mother of God, has since become Zagreb's biggest shrine and is regularly visited by people who come to light a candle and thank the Lady for protecting them.

 

What are the inscriptions on the stones in the wall?

 

is there actually anything to see there? that sounds like it could be a really cool day trip if there's anything there worth checking out.
