January 28, 2021 The Avenue in the Rain by Childe Hassam
Mayor Walsh’s appointment as US Secretary of Labor means that a Dorchester personality will be heading down to D.C. in the coming weeks, but the work of another Dot native has already re-staked its claim to a position in the White House.
On Inauguration Day last Wednesday, President Joe Biden’s administration revealed that in the course of redecorating the Oval Office, they had chosen to display “The Avenue in the Rain,” a painting by American Impressionist artist and Dorchester native Childe Hassam.
Born in 1859, Hassam grew up on Olney Street on Meetinghouse Hill, where he first took art lessons as a student at the Mather School. After two years at Dorchester High School, he left to study wood engraving and began painting watercolors before eventually moving on to oil paintings.
SAN DIEGO
Investigators with the San Diego Humane Society are looking for the person who abandoned a “severely emaciated” dog in Pacific Beach last week that had to be euthanized.
The dog, a male shepherd mix thought to be around 3 years old, was found near the Kendall-Frost Marsh Reserve by Pacific Beach Drive and Olney Street last Tuesday, the Humane Society said. The person who found the dog immediately took it to a veterinarian, and it was transferred to the Humane Society to be treated.
Veterinarians there determined the abandoned dog was in such a deteriorated state that it needed to be euthanized. It was put down that same day, a spokeswoman said.
