2589.0. "Closed Digital Facility Century route plan" by MSBCS::BROWN_L () Mon Jun 07 1993 19:14

    I'm planning the Closed Digital Facility Century, a 100 mile bike
    ride that connects closed Digital facilities with scenic backroads
    in central Massachusetts.  (Somebody was bound to do it, right?)

    [preliminary CDFC:]
    Start out in Maynard (Mill, )
    South to Hudson (small medical products building on 62?)
    South to Marlboro (BP, UPO, Nickerson Rd, MOO, Forest St, others?)
    South to Westboro (Flanders Rd)
    (Northboro?  NRO is still open, drat)
    Northwest to Boylston House
    North to Lancaster House
    North of Ft Devens across Ayer to Chelmsford
    South to Littleton (LTN, Kimbell's ice cream stop)
    Return to Mill
    
    (So far about 80 miles... this is where I need your help in adding some
    facilities: Roxbury and Westminster are too far out of the way, Franklin
    is a possibility.  What closed [or soon to be closed] facilities have
    been overlooked within a 25-30 mile radius of Marlboro?)

2589.1	Chelmsford	NQOPS::THIBODEAU		`Mon Jun 07 1993 19:50`	5
	Try Chelmsford, there are 3 or 4 buildings that have closed there. Probably could do enough to make up the 20 miles. I used to work in CHM and I think another one is CTO. Alan
2589.2	4 sites	NQOPS::THIBODEAU		`Mon Jun 07 1993 19:55`	10
	I just found a list I had. CHM Riverneck road CTC Just off of 129 on Elizabeth drive CTS Just off of 129 on Omni way ICO Just off of 129 on Alpha Road If you want the whole list just send me mail. Alan
2589.3		PAKORA::GGOODMAN	Desperate answer, desperate times	`Mon Jun 07 1993 20:14`	8
	Re.0 >> (Northboro? NRO is still open, drat) Something tells me that NRO don't share that sentiment... :*) Graham.
2589.4	Where are the priorities???	ODIXIE::RRODRIGUEZ	Shake that grits tree!	`Mon Jun 07 1993 20:37`	3
2589.5	You could bag a bunch up here.	NOVA::FISHER	DEC Rdb/Dinosaur	`Tue Jun 08 1993 05:01`	3
	Chelmsford isn't far from Hudson, NH and Nashua. ed
2589.6	STILL UP...	WMOIS::GIROUARD_C		`Tue Jun 08 1993 10:08`	7
	NEWS FLASH - Westminster, Ma Hey, we're still open too!!!! Chip P.S. I'm interested, but can't help with a "closed plant" loop.
2589.7		STUDIO::IDE	Can't this wait 'til I'm old?	`Tue Jun 08 1993 12:19`	10
	Well, there were originally 5 NRO sites, and only 1.5 or 2.5 are still open. So I guess it qualifies. Everyone except the labs has recently vacated NRO5, too. We're not dead yet, but we're not going to be here much longer. The good news is that we can bring all the bikes we want in the facility. I was thinking of constructing a velodrome in here after they remove the cube walls. :-) Jamie
2589.8	2 more sites for the list	ISLNDS::SCHWABE		`Tue Jun 08 1993 15:38`	13
	WJO (Westford) just up the road from Kimballs (at the intersection near the Westford regency. Closed down about 2 + years ago. It was a leased building. I think it has been leased again. ACO (Acton) at Piper Road and Rt2. Just vacated a few weeks ago. I'm still sorting out the telecomm stuff in that building. This is near rt 27 and rt 2 intersection.
2589.9		MSBCS::BROWN_L		`Tue Jun 08 1993 17:16`	4
	Chip, we'll see... latest rumor [<=emphasis] I heard is for Westminster to announce June 21st [and the Mill to stay open]!
2589.10	rumors indeed...	3D::ROTH	Geometry is the real life!	`Tue Jun 08 1993 19:49`	11
	> we'll see... latest rumor [<=emphasis] I heard is for Westminster to > announce June 21st [and the Mill to stay open]! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I heard this from a local buisiness, they claimed a town selectman told them that; something about telcom stuff going thru the Mill and stuff. Naturally, I won't believe anything till it happens these days. - Jim
2589.11	How Soon We Forget..	MCIS5::MATTHEWS	Lynn Matthews...UPO1-4/C5	`Tue Jun 08 1993 19:53`	4
	Although it was years ago, the HYO (Southboro) facility closed down on Rt. 9. (Former Crandall Hicks Building - I am dating myself or what!!!).
2589.12		NOVA::FISHER	DEC Rdb/Dinosaur	`Tue Jun 08 1993 22:40`	3
	I volunteer to ride by a few Colorado facilities. :-) ed
2589.13	HALF TRUTHS...	WMOIS::GIROUARD_C		`Wed Jun 09 1993 10:08`	4
	Just to help... There is a bid on this bldg. being considered. As stated, the rumors are not scarce and the stories rarely correlate... Chip
2589.14	BKO	ABACUS::JASINSKI		`Wed Jun 09 1993 20:54`	11
	My personal favorite...BKO. It used to be the Education & Training Logistics site in Billerica, MA. Nice scenic roads around the prison ;-) There's also DDD in Nashua. Was that one mentioned? Steve
2589.15		ISLNDS::SCHWABE		`Thu Jun 10 1993 12:26`	4
	Of course there is the old Bedford training facility (BUO?), but that might push you way out past the century mark.
2589.16		BIGBAD::GULICK	Those dirty rings !!	`Thu Jun 10 1993 12:44`	3
	TTB is closed now too. -tom
2589.17	DON'T FORGET THESE	ONESVC::BUCCIERI		`Tue Jun 15 1993 17:22`	3
	Don't forget the old Virginia Road facility (VRO) in Concord, Ma. and the CFO1 and 2 facilities off of Baker Road in Concord as well as the AKO4 facility in Acton.
