Agreed and if you like classical music, Mechanics Hall is a wonderful place to see a concert

Well the MA Democrats are making it a destination this weekend and from what I hear all the hotels are sold out all the way to Upton.

I have to agree with you, however, it is hardly a destination but it is an ok place to stop for school on the way to life - and if you focused on family, it is a pretty decent place to raise kids - assuming you are in the right neighborhoods.
