I lived in Lowell in the 60s.
My Dad came down to the US from Canada to work in the textile industry in ‘59.
We started in Rocky Mount, North Carolina then on to Waterbury, Conn.,
ending up in Lowell and Chelmsford before returning to Canada in ‘67.
They were good times for the textile industry and a special time for me,
imbuing me with an appreciation for the exceptionalism of US that has deepened over time.
Now I'm in southern Connecticut. Another nice area but way more expensive.
