Sixty miles west of Boston, Massachusetts there is the small New England town of Sturbridge. Located at the junction of I-90 (The Mass Pike), and I-84 it has become known as the "Crossroads of New England". The town was first settled over 300 years ago, and like other small New England towns it has grown just enough over the years to be in a difficult place today. How do we embrace the future without forgetting how we got to our present? How do we attract the right kind of growth, and maintain who we are? And, what about our culture out here in Central Massachusetts?
These pages will cause one to think about how to protect what we have, our future direction, and how to move on in the very best way.
Those thoughts, and other ramblings, will hopefully inspire more thought, conversation, action, and occasionally a smile...
...seems to be working so far
Thanks for the great vignette of the new Sturbridge normal.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the comic relief!
ReplyDelete'Priceless and real! That guy needs a few "give a damn" lessons. How's about he set himself up for the day on the sidewalk's curve closest to the Center School at the Hayes Street intersection, and show her it's okay. No big deal, brick is easier to clean.
Oops, I meant that concrete is easier to clean!
