Reader Comments on Lowell, MA: When You Go from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:04:46 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-11/interact/10things/lowell-ma-visit This feature means a lot to me: When my French Canadian ancestors came to the U.S., they all came through and lived in Lowell. In college, I studied American urban history, starting with the mill operatives of the 1830s and ending with the Jack Kerouac era. Thanks for the update!

(with due respect to some Nuns or Brothers for many) and per e.g. learning of diversity through...ah...er...participating in ethnic 'socialization' after the Hi-Hat at record hops at the stinky...OK musky...gyms of Holy Trinity, the Immaculate, Keith Academy, etc. as rock and roll was being born one night with more dancing cheek-to-cheek at the Commodore [or even Totem Pole] to ebbing, but great Big Band music another night and sometimes at Drive-Ins or across from Glennies on The Boulevard or atop Fort Hill. (On a more academic note, I highly recommend Call the Darkness Light by Nancy Zaroulis who meticulously puts you on/in the streets/neighborhoods of today as they existed in times of those founding Mill Girls.)
