365 things to do in Worcester County - See the last Harry Potter movie at the Leicester Drive in.  Nothing screams more of summer than a Drive In.  And when school's out you can go to a drive in any day of the week.  A night at a drive in is certainly less expensive that going to a theater.  It's a whopping $20.00 for a car load.  Personally, I prefer Leicester drive in.  It's only 20 minutes from my home.  It offers double features and it has three screens to choose from.  The drive in is easy to find: 1675 Main St. in Leicester.  I was surprised to find that on the second day of Harry Potter opening, there were plenty of spaces for mor visitors. As far as the Harry Potter experience, I guess you need to read the books to really appreciate the movie and as I haven't (yet), I could not ...

365 things to do in Worcester County - get a hot dog at hot dog Annie's in Leicester.  I don't know if it is because it's diner time or because Hot Dog Annie's is near the home I'm selling at 461 Leicester St., in Auburn, but today is the day I talk about a great place to get a hot dog.  There is little more American than a hot dog.  Nothing says comfort food than a couple of dogs wrapped in your favorite fixings. Hot Dog Annie's at 250 Paxton St., Rte 56, in Leicester serves them up best.  In the summer time, you can see a line stretch, literally out of the door.  The place is small so it's no wonder, people line up outside to get the food.  The line moves fast and the food just hits the spot.    Beside being on one of the main back roads, Hot Dog Annie's is known for it's "special" sa...
