Apparently I'm not the only one with fond memories of Paragon Park. Here's the latest on the frontrunners in the Partners in Preservation program voting for $1 million in grants from American Express: The Paragon Carousel is tops with 11 percent of the votes cast, and Salem Old Town Hall is second with 10 percent, the only other site in double figures. The Twitter campaigners at the New England Aquarium are in ninth place with 5 percent, and our neighbors at Lowell's Boat Shop are in 11th place with 4 percent. In 25th and last place is the Norfolk Grange Hall, with zero percent of the vote, which makes me a little sad.
