Our Church in Worcester is fairly typical.

Worcester? I really liked going into Spags on Rt. 9 in Shrewsbury. Is it still open?

I lived in Leominster and really enjoyed it there...

Yes, it is, although I think the ownership has changed and its not what it used to be. Its also suffered under the competition from Wal-Mart.

We live in western Massachusetts now, near Amherst, but still drive in to Worcester to go to Church. One of the burdens of being Orthodox in America - parishes can be few and far between, at least when you get outside of the major cities. But Worcester has had a very active Orthodox community for a long time. A lot of Middle Eastern Christians immigrated to the area and worked in the textile mills.

I've been through that area a few times, most recently en route to New Hampshire. Lovely!
