My wife is from Gloucester. (First time I ever saw it written, I had no idea it was actually what she had been referring to as "Gloustah") :lol:

Northampton is a great town. Great concert venues and a Guild dealer. The blizzards only happen in the winter.
My mom was a Smithie, so there's always been an affinity for Northampton here. Well, that and the Iron Horse...

I go there often, Pascal. My buddy and I go boating out of Marblehead harbor and swing up by Gloucester. Funny... we were visiting his boat repair people (also in Marblehead, and in the building where they have the shipyard is Bill Tippin's workshop. I met the man and talked Guilds with him for about 1/2 hour this year. What a nice guy.

I lived in NewPort News and later Yorktown in the Mid 80's. Lots of history there.
I actually lived in this very house!

So you're THE ONE knowing about Gloucester VA. hmmm? :lol:
"These days, it's got a zillion hospitals and collges, but a second rate airport and no parking at the train station. a world-class art museum, but no real downtown to speak of. Also, good luck finding a hotel to stay in. Just not a balanced economy at all."
Good description of Worcester, Chazmo! Never really has gotten its act together. I love driving through Worcester in the autumn, when the city actually TELLS people to rake their leaves into the street to be picked up! Of course, they very rarely pick them up before it snows - what a mess!

walrus, did you grow up around here? I'm an import. Graduated college in the the Boston area in the '80s and stayed up here for work, but I'm originally from New York City / Long Island.
I think the history of these MA towns is just fascinating.

Being from Worcester County, Maryland, I can pronounce it, except we pronounce the "R", not "ah"(at the end).
