Title: Greetings from North-Central Massachusetts
Post by: CraftyGuy on January 14, 2010, 10:10:58 AM
I've been poking around here for a few months, but only now getting off my butt to post an intro and say "Howdy!".

My name is Mike, and I have been BBC since May 22, 2009 (so still relatively new in the headshaver world).  I work for a computer manufacturer (at least for now, I'm would love to ditch that someday and become a professional photographer).

I live in Fitchburg, Massachusetts - if you ever in the area, look me up and say "Hi!".

Only lived in Fitchburg for a little over 5 years.  I'm originally from Oneonta, NY, went to college in Potsdam, NY, and then moved to Massachusetts.  4 years in Framingham, 11 in Marlborough, and then finally moved to Fitchburg.

Welcome to SBG!

Thanks!

Sadly, Whalom Park is no more...

Bet you're enjoying Austin a lot more!  Much better weather there :-)

I'm familiar with those places <G>.  My hometown is Uxbridge, and I have relatives who live in Northboro.  I lived in Rochester, NY for 5 years back in the 80's.

Where was Whalom Park?  That sounds so familiar, but I can't place it.  We spend three weeks every July in the Boston area, and we hit Nantasket Beach, as well as heading up to York Beach in ME, etc.  We stay on the South Shore because it puts us in the middle of everywhere that we need to go.

Whalom Park used to be on Rt. 13 in Lunenburg, just outside of Leominster.  That's gone, but at least Fitchburg now has an indoor water park just off of Rt. 2 heading towards Westminster.

That's right.  That's a beautiful part of the state.  I had a good friend who went to the Adventist college that was out in that direction; seem to remember that it was in Worcester County, and that was a beautiful area.   New England in the Fall is usually so gorgeous.
