"Cochituate" is a good old Native American place name which means something like "Place of Running Water." It is close to the location of my parents' house where I grew up. The center of this small town is a crossroads where this drawing was created. The sign points west to the outer suburbs of Boston, that is Framingham and Worcester (pronounced "Wusta"). The building in front houses a car dealership and a bank. There is a Starbucks in this area and I drew this sketch while sitting there, during one of my countless visits back to Massachusetts in the decades since I moved away.
