Wiki Wistah is a journalist, sometime blogger, history buff and homeowner in Worcester, Massachusetts. He is a graduate of College of the Holy Cross in that fair city.

His Wikipedia interests are small towns of Central Massachusetts; Mass. mass media; a mild local roadgeekery; and whatever else may catch his fancy as time goes by.
