This MA City Is Considered A TRUE “Boom Town”

I don’t know if you noticed, but certain portions of The Bay State are getting more  congested. Translation: A 10 minute drive to anywhere statewide nowadays seems to take almost an hour. That to me is no simple arithmetic, however it could apply when driving through my ol' hometown of NYC (That is why I take public transportation when visiting the ol' haunts).

There is a particular area east of The Berkshires where residents of our Commonwealth are calling this city "home base" year round. The city of Worcester (pronounced Woos-Tah) takes the top spot.

The 2nd largest city statewide ranks well in business and population growth. This web site gives you a clear example on why this community is flourishing. But there are some reasons why people are moving there in droves.

For starters, Worcester is only one hour away from the capital city of Boston, making the commute to work out east less cumbersome as many residents are employed in Beantown.
