A vision for the old courthouse
Monday, November 24, 2014
On a recent commuter-rail trip home from Boston I managed to chat up a millennial about all the development going on in Worcester. I asked him what he thought should go into the old courthouse and Worcester auditorium.
Without hesitation he proclaimed — a 'Quincy market'-esque public market/food court in the courthouse and an IMAX theater in the auditorium.
I was amazed at his quick and well thought-out answer. Not all millennials are what the media portrays them as. Now if only he could find a developer to make that happen.
Thanks for the interesting conversation, Tony.
