Troy, by Way of Route 93

This morning, I'm off to Fall River to do some data entry and training for BSAS at Steppingstone, Incorporated, a service provider that operates some ten houses that provide support to both the homeless and people who abuse substances. According to the town's website, Fall River, which is about an hour-long drive from Newton, was known as Troy in the early 19th century, with its name officially being changed to "Fall River" in 1834. Fall River, of course, is probably best known for Lizzie Borden (alleged celebrity murderer of the 1890's; imagine a fin-de-siècle cross of Paris Hilton and O.J. Simpson), for being a major mill town in the late 1800's (the town was also known as "Spindle City"), and for being the destination of a proposed extension of the MBTA Commuter Rail.
