Comments: Woonsocket seems to have quite a few helpful folks in stores. On the main roads traffic is congested. A group of friends stopped in Woonsocket earlier this year. Keep an eye on changes in the weather in the PM. Housing costs seem to have soared since the last time we were here. To have a well spent afternoon, make a point of visiting Museum of Work and Culture. This is a great place.
