Now *that* is something to look forward to!  :-)
A collection of stores, named "outlets", with out-of-date, out-of-season
styles that didn't sell the first time around, stuff priced at Full Retail
then discounted-to-make-it-seem-like-a-bargain!   Ohhh boyyyyy!   :-)


>are plenty of little restaurants and offices and clubs in downtown Worcester,  

When I was in Worcester with a friend a year or two ago, we drove all over
the city, and were hard pressed to find a restaurant where we could eat
lunch!  Every one we found was either closed or shut down.  We finally 
found one that looked OK, but had mediocre food.

It seems to me Worcester is a depressing run-down place that might once
have had some potential but probably got hit pretty hard by the 
recession (oops, sorry, I forgot, we really aren't having a recession! :-)
