Day in the Life of Worcester-Introduction
I moved from Chicago, Illinois to Worcester, Massachusetts seven and a half years ago. Despite my deep love for Chicago, and the fact that it has more things to do and see than you can realistically fit into a lifetime, I took an immediate liking to Worcester and could feel the great amount of potential that the city had. I was a bit surprised to find that many people I talked to did not have the best things to say about their city. It seemed like they considered the better days to be in the past and now they could only live in the shadow of Boston or Providence.
I decided that I want to do more than simply like my new city. I want to really love it. I have given myself a personal assignment to post a new picture everyday, perhaps with commentary, to transform my own thinking about what I sense is a great place to live. Perhaps I will persuade some other people in Worcester along the way.
I would appreciate hearing about your feelings of Worcester (both the city and the county) and hear of any places you would recommend I take a closer look at. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and the more comments and dialogue I am able to generate, the more likely I am to follow through. So thanks in advance for your help.
