Worcester dissed

[Toro]

This one made me chuckle. There is a general discontent with the Super Bowl being held in Jacksonville this year. One scribe derisively called Jacksonville "Worcester with Palm Trees".

Ridiculous! Palm trees would die here the first winter. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Does Jacksonville have the Palladium?

I think not. I'd take rust-belt depravity over retirees anyday of the week.

They actually planted a palm tree at the coner of Park Ave. and Lovell St. last year. I'd still like to know what mental giant came up with that idea.
