Before the internet, u could take the bus from Boston to W to enjoy it's massive expanse of X rated theatres right outside the bus station. Who knew it had colleges? But sadly, WAAF is gone. What's wooster w/o it's 'Kick ass rock n roll?"
Up until 1994, Worcester’s NPR affiliate had an excellent version of its own “Modern Rock” programming after 11 at night. Before I moved there, I thought that if it’s NPR station played this music, it must be a rocking town!
Then they canceled the programming less than a year after I moved there.
WICN. Today, it's all jazz and classical. I don't think they even carry NPR news. They couldn't even give the kids a lousy three hours in the middle of the night.
It's going to be interesting to hear/see/listen to your daughter's take on her time there. And what her friends might have to say about the structure of the town around her. It's the same with New Brunswick. It's got a huge Rutgers on the other side of the tracks from downtown, but students rarely use anything downtown. No Shops, no food, nothing for them. 4 different grocery stores have come and gone in the last 10 years. No more hangout bars, only chic Bistros for the upperclass State Theater crowd.
