Lowell City Hall clock still running



I bet Jack Kerouac would be happy to know that the 118-year-old Lowell City Hall clock is still running, thanks to the efforts of Lowell son, Andy Garabedian. Click here for an article about Andy in the Lowell Sun.

Given its age, Jack must have looked at it to tell the time on more than one occasion. Perhaps he wrote about the clock.

This is where I look to readers to help out with citations. Do you know if Jack mentioned the City Hall clock in a novel? Perhaps Dr. Sax? Or one of his other "Lowell novels"?

Let us know with a response to this post or an e-mail to thebeathandbook@gmail.com.
