I'm a lot older than most people on Woo Reddit and haven't lived in Worcester for a long time but am sentimentally connected. I'm probably the polar opposite on most issues discussed but still enjoy the Worcester news. My memories go back quite a bit and Worcester has always had these people who stand out for one reason or another. Many of them became urban legends of sorts and you could write a book about the stories that made them legends. Each story had a life of it's own and was embellished a little with each telling. So however humble, these folks all had their fifteen minutes of fame and you're not fully dead when someone still remembers you.
