MA vacation hotspots

so it's the vacation time of year. the MA legislature recently released a list of the top 1000 places to visit in MA in order to help boost tourism. according to one state rep, "The difficult part was getting down to 1,000 places," from the initial list of over 13000.

so when the list is finally finalized and released...

A list of the top 1,000 attractions released with much fanfare by the Legislature last week was intended to promote tourism, but the Boston Herald reports that some sites don’t exist any more, some are closed to the public, and some are listed in the wrong towns.

The list – which actually has 996 places – included the Baker Robinson Whale Oil Refinery in New Bedford, which has been gutted to make way for a hotel; and Worcester’s African Cultural Center and Ashland State Park, both closed.

One place, St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Adams, was ordered closed by the Springfield Diocese two years ago although parishioners remain in vigil.

oh well, at least they are trying. come visit us in new england!
