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. Saturday and Sunday also look like it only just might be an occasional shower in the afternoon. This should not keep anyone from making the […]
Free Lunch Time Concerts Return to Worcester Common in 2012

Patriotic in Worcester – Oh Beautiful for Spacious Skies

July 4th 2012 celebrations are starting this weekend. Time to remember what makes this country great! Music is a great way to do this.

Halloween 2011 in the Worcester Area

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

It is surprising that we have not had the chance to write too much about Denis Leary since he is one of Worcester’s own. Truthfully is that as a comedian he sometimes can rub people the wrong way. Whether you are a fan or not it is undeniable that he has made a significant impact […]
Worcester Ecotarium Partipating in Free Museum Day

This summer our family was able to visit Worcester’s Ecotarium for the first time. We didn’t quite know what to expect since it is a bit of a mix between park and science museum. Our kids got a big kick out of the bubble display and the displays regarding the animals and their environments. It […]

As Worcester and Massachusetts residents struggle with where to put all the snow we have to take a step back and laugh. If you don’t laugh you are going to cry and as New England residents we just can’t do that. My sister sent the picture posted on this article. I have to say not […]
