Thinking Out Loud In Sturbridge: Two Words

Welcome.

Sixty miles west of Boston, Massachusetts there is the small New England town of Sturbridge. Located at the junction of I-90 (The Mass Pike), and I-84 it has become known as the "Crossroads of New England". The town was first settled over 300 years ago, and like other small New England towns it has grown just enough over the years to be in a difficult place today. How do we embrace the future without forgetting how we got to our present? How do we attract the right kind of growth, and maintain who we are? And, what about our culture out here in Central Massachusetts?

Hopefully, over time, the thoughts on these pages will cause one to think about how to protect what we have, our future direction, and how to move on in the very best way for all of us here.

Those thoughts, and other ramblings, will hopefully inspire more thought, conversation, action, and occasionally, a smile.

" Hope it works. Would be nice for us old folks on Concert on the Commons days! ;-)"--Brian Friedmann

"Please accept my donation for the "Tables on the Common" There is nothing nicer than to be able to relax in the common whether you sit on a bench and read or have a picnic with your family. The common is Sturbridge History and keeping it so all residents can enjoy is what this is all about. I hope to see these tables in place on my next visit hopefully this summer. Patti from SC"
