Tales from the Hill

The city of Worcester is the second largest city in Massachusetts, known as the "Heart of the Commonwealth" for its proximity to the center of Massachusetts. With its many interconnecting highways to the crossroads throughout its seven hills, it has long been a bypass and resting stop for many travelers. The author lives on Grafton Hill, also known as "The Hill." The area is made famous by its legendary bars and restaurants sitting east of Lake Quinsigamond and west of downtown Worcester. The neighborhood has a wonderful balance of culture and recreation. This variety of short stories is inspired by nostalgic true events and real people the author has met while living and working in Worcester.
