InsideWorcesterWeb

The new Inside Worcester blog on worcesterweb.com presents Rod Lee’s insightful perspective on life in the city, Central Massachusetts and beyond. Look to worcesterweb.com on your laptop or cell phone for this exclusive feature, in which Mr. Lee, a career journalist and author, expounds in short-story form (occasionally fictionalized) on a variety of subject matter—from his participation in a criminal trial (“Juror No. 12”) to a family cat that went missing for six weeks (“Smokey”), a dream about encountering a personal idol (“The Night I Met Bob Dylan”), a husband and wife’s decision to tour downtown for a glimpse of the POW! WOW! murals (“Window Dressing”) and the unselfish folks who cater to the homeless at the St. John’s Food Pantry (“Thy Will Be Done”).
