Day 10: Spending Time in Sudbury

For today's two-mile walk I'll be passing through the center of Sudbury, stopping eventually at a Mexican restaurant called Acapulcos.

This stretch of Sudbury is replete with commerce--stores, restaurants, medical facilities, an interior decorator and an auto service station. But I also pass by the town hall and the fire department. One of the more interesting buildings is the public library, the Goodnow Library, named after the resident who willed the land and money to build and stock the library, John Goodnow II. He died in 1851. The library was completed in 1853. The building is quite distinctive, as you can see (photo below); it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as have a number of the town's buildings.

According to the website City Data, Sudbury is a small town of around 18,000 people. They are mostly white, college-educated, middle-aged, employed, and of English/Irish ancestry. The income level is fairly high: $185,000 median annual household income. House prices average around $800,000.

Well, I've come to my stopping point now, the Mexican restaurant, Acapulcos, at 694 Boston Post Road in Sudbury. Tomorrow I'll do another two miles and another two hours of practice. Hasta la vista!
