Same here. When I was in HS, a friend of mine rebuilt an old Ford Galaxie with a 7 liter engine. He took me for a ride in it on the yet unopened part of 495.
We saw 140 mph on the speedo. The engine was doing fine, but the aerodynamics of that brick limited it. Fastest I have ever been that wasn't in a plane
Strangely, construction in Hubbardston almost has come to a halt in the last 15 years or so. Such a huge percentage of the land is owned by the state. Rutland, Westminster, Templeton all have tons of houses going up
That Canal District is super fun. The restaurants etc in that area are quite enjoyable. Crompton Collective, Worcester Public Market are fun too. Kelly Square is so different now
Yeah. We bought our house way back in 1998. Its value has nearly tripled since then (even with the cost of an addition we put in) . So much cheaper then compared to our income. First timers are in for a heavy lift in eastern Mass
