    "Shirley is a very nice town to live in with lots of involvement of it's citizens on committees and projects. The town is part of an up and coming regional school district serving K through grade 12 students. It is also very well located for the commuter with the MBTA train from Fitchburg to Boston and access to highways going north, south, east and west. It's really a terrific place to live."
