Anyway, Worcester was a great place in the 60's. I loved the theatres, the clubs, like the Brandy Banjo, and going to eat at the El Morroco.
My first child was born a Hanhaman Hospital. He also served with the National Guard and reported to the Armory once a month for weekend duty. My husband and I had our first dates there. There were so many great places to shop, Lerners was there on the corner of Pleasant and Main, and I remember Marion's (a little hat shop further down towards Lincoln Square near Barnards. And Denholms & McKay was the most in place to buy clothes. I loved shopping downtown before the Worcester Center and the Galleria were built. Years ago, the movie American Graffiti could have taken place in Worcester. Although I went to school in another town, we spent a lot of time cruising Highland St. I worked in Worcester from 1965-1970 at Harrington Richardson Arms Co. My family moved to a small suburb when I was 5 years old, but Worcester remained a huge part of my life until I was married. I was born in Worcester in 1946 at City Hospital.
Thank you so much for this wonderful website.
