133.0. "Short term travel note" by WMOIS::B_REINKE (As true as water, as true as light) Mon Aug 22 1988 16:03

    I have a class in Westfield Mass Wed and Thurs and am thinking
    about staying over rather than the long drive down and back 
    down and back...are there any =wn= in the area who could
    put me up for a nite?
    
    send mail or call me tomorrow at drn 241-4582.

    Bonnie,
    
    I'd love to help you out, however, all my rooms are full. I have
    family staying with me until the end of September.  Sorry.
    
    Where is your class in Westfield?

133.2Help if you canBPOV06::MACKINNONTue Aug 23 1988 08:488
    
    Speaking of Westfield,  I will also be out there training for
    the last three weeks in September.  I will be staying at the
    Sheraton in West Springfield.  Can anyone give me some hints
    if you've been there?  What's around?  Where to eat? ETC??
    Thanks
    
    Michele

I'll give you one hint if you're staying at the Sheraton. Don't stay in
a room overlooking the pool unless you like to sleep in a very humid
climate.

133.4Scenic WestfieldWFOV11::GONCALVESTue Aug 23 1988 13:0520
    Hey, Westfield isn't that bad.  I transferred from MRO to WFO about
    1 1/2 ago.  Around the Sheraton W. Spfld, there is a shopping center
    called Riverdale Shops.  You'll find a lot of stores there.  You
    also have the Showcase Cinemas right next door.  Ingleside Mall
    is about 3 miles away.  In that mall you'll find more than 300 shops
    on 3 floors, not to mention all the different kinds of food.
    
    Riverside Amusement park is about 10 minutes away in nearby Agawam,
    MA (that's where I was born and raised). The Basketball Hall of
    Fame is along RT291 in Springfield.  Not to mention, there is
    a really great restaurant about 1/2 mile from the Sheraton.  It's
    called Ivanhoes.  You'll find a lot of Dec people there after work.
    You'll also find a lot of Dec people at Samuels (bar/restaurant)
    located in the Holiday Inn next to the Ingleside Mall.
    
    Any other questions?  If you've got the time, I've got the places.

133.5Food for thoughtBOLT::MINOWIt's not pseudo eclectic, it's real eclecticThu Aug 25 1988 12:167
There's a nice German restaurant in downtown Springfield.  I think
it's called the Student Prince.

New England Monthly magazine has a good restaurant review section that
covers the area.

133.6wrong place and new focus for the noteWMOIS::B_REINKEAs true as water, as true as lightThu Aug 25 1988 22:2612
    Well, I messed up in a major way. I wrote the base note from
    home while on vacation and got the site of my meeting wrong.
    I've just spent two days in Westboro...and missed the chance to
    get to see any friends in that general area.
    
    However, so as not to have things be a total loss..I am converting
    this note to a general note on travel to different Dec sites.
