Hartford’s take on Worcester
Sometimes it takes an outside observer to remind us what we have.
Enter Tom Condon, Hartford Courant columnist.
Condon’s Sunday column concentrates on what Worcester has going for it vs. Hartford, focusing mostly on commuter rail as an asset. He uses Lt. Gov. Tim Murray as his primary source, but it’s an interesting take on how we [...]
