Welcome, dear friend. Pull up a chair, warm your hands by the hearth, and let us tell you a bit about what brought this little chronicle to life.

In a world that often spins too fast, we are two men who have deliberately chosen the scenic route. We are Michael & Mark, partners in life and in the joyful pursuit of the quintessential bucolic New England existence.

Yesteryear is Our North Star

This blog is our passion project, born from a deep, abiding belief in the good things that time has proven true. We believe in the strength of community, the value of a handshake, and the simple beauty of a day well-spent. You won't find us chasing fleeting trends or the latest city bustle. Instead, we are forever drawn to the quiet wisdom of yesteryear: the enduring quality of things made to last, the golden rule above all, and the simple, profound satisfaction of supporting your neighbor.

For us, the future is best built upon a foundation of old-school values. We are passionate about honest work, the warmth of hospitality, and the profound American tradition of treating your corner of the world with dignity and care.

Local is Our Legacy

Our travels are never along the superhighways; they are down the dusty, forgotten byways and backroads of New England.

Country Road Chronicles is your faithful guide to:

• Mom & Pop Treasures: Celebrating the local bakeries, general stores, and family-owned businesses that are the true heartwood of New England life.

• Americana Travel: Documenting timeless road trips, from the granite coast of Maine to the rolling hills of Vermont.

• The Good Life: Sharing the simple, deliberate ways we infuse old-fashioned values into our home, our kitchen, and our daily rhythm.

In short, we are here to remind you that the sweetest life is often found at a slower pace, in a quieter place, and among people who still believe in kindness, quality, and community.

We are so glad you found your way to our table.

- Michael & Mark
