This section isn't very encyclopedic, but I think it's kind of nice to have. I have a few questions:
Anyone know when the lights in the Center started working? Additionally, I heard a shop in the center used to sell shirts and bumper stickers that read "I survived Chicken Corner." Any truth to this?
This definitely doesn't belong in the article, but anyone from Greater Lowell can appreciate this story: In high school, I went to Bishop Guertin High School, I used to get teased for being a Masshole. So, as punishment to the New Hampshire drivers, I made one of them drive me and a bunch of New Hamphire kids on a route through Chelmsford at rush hour I termed the Chelmsford Challenge. This was in 1999 or 2000, and very little of this makes any sense anymore:
Some towns (such as Billerica) have Wikipedia entries that give the accepted local pronunciation. I would have put in something for Chelmsford, but it's been over 30 years since I've been in the town for longer than it takes to get through Chicken Corner, so I no longer count as any kind of authority. Would someone who knows and cares, and who perhaps even has access to published research, please add a bit about how to pronounce the place. It's likely incorrect to limit the reader to a single pronunciation, since many seem to be in use. I've heard (or spoken, myself) at least all of the following:

I heard that the Simpsons show modeled it's streets based on the town of Chelmsford. Anyone know anything about this? Dough007 ( talk) 03:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
