  1. Funny, I live in Indiana and the two towns whose names always threw me for a loop. Hobart, which is pronounced ho-bert, and Rensselaer which I thought would be rens-ler is said as ren-sa-leer.

  2. Worcester is the second largest city in New England, after Boston. The number you were looking for is 181,045 people. I am currently in Worcester right now writing this (don't live here though, student commuter) so it was weird and kinda cool to hear you mention it.
