I grew up in Leominster, graduated HS in 2008. This was cool to see, no one has ever heard of Leominster around the country but everyone knows Johnny Appleseed, pink flamingos, and Tupperware lol
This is a great look at one of the many fascinating “overlooked” New England cities and towns. Just subscribed. Very much looking forward to your next one.
I am from Leominster, a graduate of LHS class of 2014, and both sets of grandparents are children of immigrants who settled there. My grandma worked in the Foster Grant factory making combs. In fact, everyone worked at foster grant! My mother used to be the children's librarian at the Leominster Library back in the 80s. She painted the mural that was on the wall before the Library's renovations in 2012. I moved in 2019, leaving all the small town drama behind, but I am sure someone else would enjoy starting a new life there.
Graduated from LHS 1979. Leominster was a great place to grow up. My Grandfather settled there in 1910. My dad had briefly worked for Whitney Carriage and the Piano factory as well as Dupont during WW2. My mom worked for Foster Grants and later Tilton Cook comb factory. Also don’t forget Tri Sum potato chips. The best chips ever!
Leominster is in Worcester county, and is approximately 20 miles due north of the ciry of Worcester. Lowell, (in Middlesex County) on the other hand, is "northeast" of Worcester County.

Wow, this was really great! I learned a lot. I'm interested in hearing more about the expanded passenger rail all the way to North Adams.
Don’t forget Robert Cormier, author of The Chocolate War!
Leominster was a great place to grow up in the 90s!
