moneypitmike Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The color wave will move east after your foliage peaks next week. BTW, where does the nickname wormtown come from? LOL. My wife introduced me to the term "wormtown". If I were in my drinking days, I'd like to try some of the offerings of the "Wormtown Brewery". I just did a google and came up with this. Wormtown has been co-opted by city "leaders" and other assorted no-nothings as a derogatory mark against Worcester, which is far from the truth. Coined by WCUW dj L.B. Worm some twenty years ago, Wormtown was actually the flag the music underground rallied under. A lovely little kingdom where the kids were allright, it was ok to be different, and original thought was abundant. It was a group that, unlike the majority of the Worcester citizenship, were happy to do things for themselves. The Wormtown movement eventually toppled the tired southern rock, cover-scene format that ruled the local roost. It was a very positive time, and both WCUW and WICN prospered as a result. WDOA is a direct result of Wormtown. The Worcester Phoenix, at least the arts folk, gladly call themselves Wormtowners,as does the T&G's Scott McClennen. Why be anything less then the best. Vincent's, arguably the cities hottest night spot is 100% Wormtown, having taken the title from Ralph's, the eighties most popular hang. Again,there success is directly tied to the Wormtown movement. Wormtown was NEVER meant to be another name for the city. Frankly, a city this misguided (city hall) and complacent (the people) hasn't yet earned the right to wear this moniker.

Mr Torchey Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just an incredible weekend, family bbq was awesome! As has been discussed in full its been a summer to remember, who can forget Steves 18 days of perfection!!! I can never remember a summer where almost every single weekend was beach worthy. With less than 20 days of summer left officially eyes turn towards football and apple cider, leaves and pumpkins. Halloweenie is one of my favorite holidays, and I truly cant believe that I will be lighting the festivus lights in less than two months. BSE2 certainly did not dissapoint, I hope for all my friends that this winter delivers as well. Give me snow or give me torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Saturday was pretty warm. ORH was +6 I guess so, just felt very autumnal to me, I guess everything is relative and when we finally do settle into an extended below normal pattern its going to be an eye opener for sure.

CoastalWx Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I want a beer not a piece of pumpkin pie........lol Just try one like that. It's so good. It's not as sweet as you think because it's just on the rim of the mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just try one like that. It's so good. It's not as sweet as you think because it's just on the rim of the mug. Another good one.......grab some vodka, tall glass of ice, pour a little cider into it with some cinnamon on the rim, takes just like an apple pie and is not sweet at all but oh so delicious.

CapturedNature Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Beautiful Labor Day here. Lows near 50 and highs in the 70s - doesn't get much better than that. It's nice to be in September and know that the clock is ticking toward possible frost later this month but at least in the next 4-5 weeks. Some of the early trees showing hints of color - after all peak is usually about 10/15 here so we are only 6 weeks from there. I've been keenly watching the trees to see how they would react since spring was so warm and early. I think August was a pretty good month for them so I'm hoping next spring will have some good sap runs - so long as we have good temps then!

Ginx snewx Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 From my bro in AK, he has been there 30 years Steve: FYI -- Just had hardest rain I've ever seen in Alaska. Got a front coming where the millibars are going to be equal to that of the storm that just nailed New Orleans again. We're supposed to get winds of around 90 mph and lots of rain here in Anchorage.

Ginx snewx Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Interesting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ink to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
