Town Inclusion

Untitled

If I had my way, I would color Westford and Dunstable dark blue. Pepperell is a maybe. The light blue is harder, since it's more subjective (none of my citations mention them...). Carlisle and Andover have shown up on this page from time to time, and Bedford as well. Would residents of these towns make an argument that they are in the Lowell area?

The Regional Transit Authority runs buses into Tewksbury, Dracut, Tyngsboro, Chelmsford, North Chelmsford, and Billerica. That's why I wouldn't color Westford or Dunstable dark blue.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

Those that work on this article may want to copy the organization and some features of the article on New York's Capital District. I think it would be a good way to flesh out and expand this article. Contact me on my talk page if you have any questions or would like some help.Camelbinky (talk) 05:11, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I'll look into it. As someone who has lived in both regions, there is certainly more to say about the Capital District because it is much more economically self-reliant, but still...worth using as a basis. CSZero (talk) 12:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pelham NH

Is Pelham ever considered part of Greater Lowell? I’m from Lawrence, Mass. and Salem NH was considered part of Greater Lawrence.
