While the roller coaster envisioned by the couple who first opened Winchester Park was never built, the house and grounds once owned by Sarah Winchester has managed to draw visitors for the last 100 years.The Winchester Mystery House celebrated its centennial as a tourist attraction June 30 with a gathering that included dozens of current and past staff members.Walter Magnuson, executive director of the Winchester Mystery House, said about 10,000 people attended the opening of Winchester Park on June 30, 1923. John and Mayme Brown, who leased the land after Winchester died in 1922, intended to create an amusement park complete with a wooden roller coaster designed by John Brown.“The old Winchester place was sort of a supporting act,” Magnuson said.That changed quickly as public interest in the house that Winchester built grew. “By late 1924, it was the headliner.”The Winchester Mystery House has maintained its headliner status over the years due in no small part to the mythology tha...Coach/GM James Wade leaves the Chicago Sky at midseason to join the Toronto Raptors coaching staff

Chicago Sky coach and general manager James Wade resigned from the team Saturday to accept an assistant coaching position with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, leaving the WNBA franchise reeling in the midst of a rebuilding season.Assistant coach Emre Vatansever was named interim general manager and head coach. His first game will be Sunday against the Indiana Fever.Under Wade’s leadership, the Sky won their first championship in 2021, then recorded the winningest regular season in franchise history in 2022. He posted an 81-59 record over 4 1/2 seasons, plus a 13-8 playoff record.The Sky signed Wade in January 2021 to a four-year contract extension through 2025, a deal that would have made him one of the longest-tenured coaches in WNBA history had he completed it.This loss is twofold for the Sky, who relied on Wade to shape the vision for the team in his dual role as coach and general manager.

Friday night with the Mets desperately trying to protect a two-run lead against the San Francisco Giants, the player that carried the team for much of the early part of the season made a costly mistake.With one out, David Robertson, the Mets’ best high-leverage reliever, got Joc Pederson to roll over on a cutter. A ground ball went right to Pete Alonso at the edge of the dirt, but he bobbled the ball and rattled himself. With Robertson running over to cover first, he overthrew it to miff the flip. Pederson was safe.Robertson then walked J.D. Davis and rookie catcher Patrick Bailey teed off on Robertson for a three-run homer. The Mets blew their 13th lead of the last calendar month.Alonso shouldered much of the blame.“It took a hop kind of snaked back towards me a little bit and I made a misplay,” Alonso said after the 5-4 loss at Citi Field. “And then I rushed the throw to D-Rob when I didn’t need to. My internal clock was going a little faster than wha...Can’t find a spot? Parking in Boston neighborhoods leaves many people ‘screwed’
