I went around Worcester a little bit today and took some pictures.  So, here ya go...



above: Entering the city on I-290 north
below: The Polar Soda plant





above: Close up on the polar bear on top the plant
below: The largest furniture store in New England.  Who says these old mill buildings can't be reused?





above: Fitton Field aka Hanover Park, home of the Can-Am League Worcester Tornadoes
below (x3): Downtown, approaching Med City, the pedestrian bridge, and DCU Center







below: new development across from DCU Center





above: on the other side of the street
below (x5): heading down Main St., downtown









above: City Hall
below: more along the Main St. strip

above: Perhaps the tallest building in the city?
below: south view of City Hall





above: NE corner of Worcester Common, facing towards the old Media Play in the old Fashion Outlets
below: Telegram and Gazette Building... or, the flags outside it





above: Notre Dame Canadiene Church
below: Green Street Tunnel ("The Arch")





above/below: MBTA/CSX railyards, between Franklin and Shrewsbury Streets, East of I-290

Slightly beyond this, the site of the Worcester Cold Storage warehouse.  At that site Dec. 3, 1999, six Worcester FD firefighters lost their lives in the inferno at the spot.



Below (x4): under I-290, looking down towards the "White Giant" (Fashion Outlet parking garages), downtown, and surrounding area









Below (x2): Union Station





Below: Kelley Square, the craziest intersection in Worcester.  Don't believe me?  Well... there's this which shows how ridiculous it is.  Oh, and there's no traffic lights either.
