Ted Reinstein at Worcester Public Library

Chronicle reporter Ted Reinstein will visit the Worcester Public Library to give a presentation on his latest book “ New England’s General Stores: Exploring an American Classic.”

In the book, written in collaboration with his wife, Anne-Marie, Reinstein shares the rich and colorful history of these iconic institutions.

He discusses how they figured in the rise of early American commerce, why they began to fade, and why - like another New England icon, the diner - they have begun to come back and even be re-invented and re-imagined for a new era.

The talk begins at 2:30 p.m.
