Moving right along to the east of Worcester! We saw Massachusetts Route 9 to the west of Worcester in Leicester and Spencer, and it actually continues west beyond the Amherst/Springfield area. But east of Worcester (where it's Belmont Street over Bell Hill), it connects to Boston (route 9 ends at Massachusetts Ave near Northeastern University in Boston) via Framingham, which is roughly halfway between Worcester and Boston. For now, we'll be starting in Shrewsbury -- which is just across Lake Quinsigamond from Worcester -- then passing through Northborough, Westborough, and Southborough. We won't be in Framingham just yet, though. This is a fun group and it's a good transition to moving away from the immediate Worcester area into northern and eastern Worcester County. After passing through Shrewsbury and the Boroughs, we're headed north of Worcester!
To be complete, Route 9 actually goes all the way into Pittsfield. So, almost all the way across the state but not quite :)
ReplyDeleteFair enough!
DeleteDid you see that Roche Bros is being acquired by Bozzutos?

I did! It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, changes.
