Opining Under Stress

As the crashing economy looms like a 500 pound gorilla over their shoulders, it's great to read about people coming up with optimistic ideas, such as this little gem in the Worcester BJ, "Worcester County's economy may get worse before it gets better, but when it does finally recover, Worcester could be the next Cambridge, a panel of area bankers said during a discussion this morning."

The Heart of the Commonwealth, Wormtown of the 70's, Paris of the 80's, City on the Move, and The City That Reads will now become... [fanfare, please!] ...The Next Cambridge.

...maybe this means that Harvard will be renting out the old courthouse, the memorial auditorium, AND the voke building to store their petty cash.
