The Worcester Galleria changed the face of Downtown Worcester, and went through a long and troubled history before it met its ignominious end. Join local history librarian Alex as we trace the connection between the Galleria and urban renewal in Worcester, and delve into the rise and fall, and second rise, and second fall of the mall.
