Columbus Day Weekend 2012 in Central Mass
Columbus Day weekend is here! Kind of (I think Friday counts). The weather has been dreary lately but there are Central Mass forecasts for today and Monday are quite nice.

Holy Cross Women’s Basketball – Bill Gibbons Intensity
If you think 27 years might dampen a coach’s passion for their basketball team you would be wrong when it comes to Bill Gibbons, coach of the Women’s Basketball Team at Holy Cross.

Central Mass Video
I recently found a video where Lt. Governor Murray highlighted the many things that Central Mass and Worcester have going for it. The format is a bit dated since it was done back in 2007 but it does mention so much of what we in Massachusetts take for granted, “So Much, So Close”.
Worcester’s Denis Leary’s Impact
