Thanks for taking the time to geek out all the geography stats. To add further to Worcester's uniqueness, I read in a John McPhee article awhile ago that Plymouth rock (and most of eastern Massachusetts) was originally part of a subcontinent between nascent North America and Africa. In the article he mentions that the terrain of Central Mass is of unknown origin.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the posting.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>TimTime and Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199767574063949836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878333308846425109.post-16686000542125997412008-04-03T10:56:00.000-07:002008-04-03T10:56:00.000-07:00http://freeartworcester.blogspot.com/2008/04/googl...http://freeartworcester.blogspot.com/2008/04/google-maps-freeartworcester.html<BR/><BR/>Here is a map of something interesting goin' on in Worcester!<BR/><BR/>Give a shout out!FreeArtWorcesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689937789288974346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878333308846425109.post-151102539264503302008-04-01T14:28:00.000-07:002008-04-01T14:28:00.000-07:00This was pointed out to me the other day, that alt...This was pointed out to me the other day, that although Durham is just as far outside of Raleigh as we are outside of Boston it's still considered to be part of the same metro area. Okay, subtract another city.

I have been to many mid sized cities and Worcester really has no reason for people to live here. Maybe we are all in the MIST, stuck because it contains people and tons of homes left from the industrial revolution. We all just wish we lived in Boston or Providence but as a blue coller city think the high prices don't make sense. We stress to outsiders that we are in the middle and less than an hour to so many other places. Head east go to Boston...Head west spend the weekend in the Pioneer Valley. <BR/>I think I am in awe of such an orginal city that keeps its roots in the blue coller world and has character. We are more NYC of the 80's then Paris of the 80's. NYC went from having burning cars on the side of the Cross Bronx Parkway to everyone carrying around they toy doggies coming back from a Puppy and Me manicure.<BR/>I am so much more the "rawness" of a city then the 5th Avenue princess.<BR/>No more empty warehouse space in NYC....But we have the buildings I can dream of buying and converting the whole building to a living space..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
