East Side Trail
The East Side Trail was initially conceived in the mid 1980's and envisioned as a continuous greenbelt linking East Park (Cristofaro Colombo Park) with Lake Quinsigamond. Construction of the trail commenced in the spring of 1997 with the original route being completed in a span of just over three weeks. Due to the construction of the Worcester Technical High School at Green Hill Park, a major portion of the trail was relocated away from the school site in the fall of 2003.
The current trail route begins at the twin stone lions marking the entrance to East Park on Shrewsbury Street. Following a walkway through the park, it then climbs steeply to the summit of Bell Hill. The once cleared summit with 360 degree panoramic views, has given way to successive reforestation, beginning with the regrowth of poplar and birch groves. In time, as the forest matures, hardwood species such as oak and maple will become more dominant. Limited views may still be seen to the north and west from the summit vista. Skirting the westerly shores of Bell Pond the trail soon crosses Route 9 and ascends a ledge slope entering in to Green Hill Park.
The lands comprising Green Hill Park were first settled in 1755 by Thomas Green. The property passed from father to son until it was deeded to the City in 1905 with the understanding it would remain as a park in perpertuity. Passing an overlook of Bell Pond, the trail reenters the woods following cartpaths and a foot trail to the site of an old stone quarry, one of several on Millstone Hill. Much of early Worcester's foundation stone and curbing was quarried from here.
Moving into the core of Green Hill Park the trail travels along a section of Lucy Lane, passing a spur trail on the left to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, before turning back onto a network of serpentine foot trails. Continuing past the Barnyard Zoo and a small quarry the trail turns east and crosses Skyline Drive. At a cart road junction just north of the blue water tank, the East Side Trail rejoins its original route. The many stone walls in this section were built by a former patient of Worcester State Hospital. Working six days a week, never on Sunday and always alone, the several miles of remaining walls are testament to his more than thirty years of efforts.
Traversing an open field the trail runs alongside, then crosses a stone wall, entering the northerly portions of Green Hill Park. The trail descends through a high canopied forest to a junction with the Coal Mine Brook Loop at a small brook crossing. Heading east over private property, the trail crosses a paved drive before arriving a t a ledge overhang, site of the old coal mine shaft. Known as Nackor's mine it produced much coal at first but the coal was of poor quality and the mine was finally abandoned. Nearby Indians used the black lead as part of their war paint.
Passage over other private lands northeast of the shaft, permitted by a trail easement granted in June 2011, allows for an unbroken trail route of nearly 3.5 miles from Shrewsbury Street to Lake Quinsigamond and completes the trail after 14 years of efforts. A new access trail, the Trinity Spur, runs easterly from Trinity Avenue to the intersection of the Brook Loop and East Side Trail.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Worcester ( (listen) WUUS-tər) is a city in, and the county seat of, Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Named after Worcester, England, as of the 2010 Census the city's population was 181,045, making it the second most populous city in New England after Boston. Worcester is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Boston, 50 miles (80 km) east of Springfield and 40 miles (64 km) north of Providence. Due to its location in Central Massachusetts, Worcester is known as the Heart of the Commonwealth, thus, a heart is the official symbol of the city. However, the heart symbol may also have its provenance in lore that the Valentine's Day card, although not invented in the city, was mass-produced and popularized by Esther Howland who resided in Worcester.Worcester was considered its own distinct region apart from Boston until the 1970s. Since then, Boston's suburbs have been moving out further westward, especially after the construction of Interstate 495 and Interstate 290. The Worcester region now marks the western periphery of the Boston-Worcester-Providence (MA-RI-NH) U.S. Census Combined Statistical Area (CSA), or Greater Boston. The city features many examples of Victorian-era mill architecture.
