Depressed Unemployed Man Thankful for Unvarying Green Light at Quinsigamond Corner

Joe Reed of Grafton had a tough year. He lost his accounting job, had back surgery, and his home went into foreclosure. But there is one thing that keeps him going -- the constant green arrow at the intersection of Rte 122 and Rte 140. “I never thought much about it until one day I found myself feeling almost giddy as I cruised through the light,” Reed admitted. He is also buoyed by the absence of any traffic lights up by the common. “I just love the feeling of speeding past those damn people trying to cross 140. They may have jobs and homes, but for a few seconds a day, I'm the boss,"  he said.
