There was an article recently that showed how the Memorial Auditorium downtown looked over the years. The facade with the columns remind me of the Worcester Memorial Auditorium. I haven't looked it up, but I suspect that the same architect designed these auditoriums.
The Worcester Auditorium has had many lives. My HS graduation was held there. Concerts, plays etc. The High Holiday services for my reform temple were held here. In the back, they made a small theater that was used for Childrens' plays.
There is a new "New York" or "Jewish" deli opening at the Falls River shopping area. We have been promised real deli several times and our hopes have been dashed. I hope this new place will come through. If they need a taste tester consultant, they can email me :0) and I can steer them in the right direction.
But, if you want real deli (Jewish and non-), you still have to go north. We stopped at Harold's Deli in Edison NJ on the way home from Massachusetts a few weeks ago. It is right off the Garden State and New Jersey Turnpikes (exit 10). The GPS took us right there! The last time we tried to get there we got lost LOL.
