It would be in tense walk, and an all day affair, buy you could do it by foot!

My favorite light is probably the one near Newton square, on that weird public road that is only a sidewalk.

I did think about that when I posted this!

Well, you should thank my dad, he's the one who sent it to me!

A majority of the gas lights are on Institute Road near the Doherty end. There’s also one across from the VA that’s falling over.

Big money guy, huh?

That’s not true.

• me, a guy

it didn't need plantations because it made plenty of profit processing the cotton made by slavery. you aren't exempt from your own history.

@ unlockedgallery on ig posts events in Worcester/Mass

I was born and raised in Worcester but no longer live there but am appalled by the number of homeless there. I have a New Years ritual, every January I visit the Second Chance Animal Shelters and make a donation then trek to Worcester to Abby's House and Catholic Charities and donate at both. I wish I could do more but I'm retired and on a fixed income.

For doing nothing it certainly is.

Massachusetts was the first State to legally abolish slavery, by 1783. Almost a century before the emancipation proclamation. It didn’t have plantations and was the epicenter of the American abolitionist movement. Probably the weakest possible state to try this type of performative nonsense.

It's a new one on me, I like it, it's so expressive and can be used so many ways. Would have worked well with the old Kelley Sq. Trying to get up after falling on skis or falling off the toilet when your drunk. Could describe a new way your ex wife's lawyer is trying to squeeze you or an adventure in bed gone amok. Drunk people in a fist fight on a cruise ship. Black Friday at Target. Any route out of Boston at rush hour on a Friday. The list is endless.

You seem to think that 136k is a ton of money lol.

make plantation street the city manager

If you're going bring something with low gears, Farnum St is no joke.

slavery also happened in the north, my dude.

Everyone just shows up for the event and a guy convinces them that there is no bike ride and they must be mistaken.

I'd be so pissed if I had to change all the information linked to my address (as though I had moved) over something this small. Fight for change on issues that actually improve lives in this city

>They should try taking a lesson from that research park... rename all of their on-site roads with cutesy names, get the city to designate their addresses all off of those, and list their Plantation St address as the number for the site.

Agreed. Umms is essentially boxed in by Plantation street, North Road, South road, and Lake Ave. Within it are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, abd 5th roads, all within campus. First road abuts the 3 research buildings which have Plantation street as their address. They could petition for an address change for those buildings to be First road instead. And First road could be chanbed to some cutesy name like Discovery Way. Or they can look at Worcester’s own legacy of historical scientists, inventors, and discoveries for inspiration for new names that would pay homage to the city of worcester while having a "science-brand". Names like: Stoddard, Pincus, Enovid, Tolman, Goddard, or Thurber Roads.

u/dpceee - You are the best! Thanks for remembering to post this for me! Enjoy the platinum!

Even though suburbs are much 'whiter', suburbs like Lexington, Belmont, Brookline, Newton, Cambridge (where I live, might or might not be considered a suburb), Somerville, etc. are diverse compared to other suburbs/exurbs of Boston/Worcester. In fact, Lexington and Quincy have the highest pct. Asian population in MA, larger than most of Boston's neighbourhoods. Should my cousin consider a job in Boston and send his child to a suburb like Lexington, Weston, Wellesley, etc?

Let me preface this by saying that I'm on the Worcester School Committee, so I am not going to pretend to be unbiased.
It may be useful for your cousin to know (as you're discovering) that Massachusetts school districts are much, much smaller than California districts and much, much more segregated by district than California districts. Our suburbs tend to be much whiter; much of our diversity (not all of it, but much of it) is in our cities.
Because of the relative size, there are programs for students (autism or otherwise) in some of the cities that smaller districts don't have the capacity to run. That is not universal, but note that many smaller districts will send students with special needs (depending on the level of need) to schools that are not district-run schools.
Worcester Public Schools does run a comprehensive program for our students who have autism. I have not experienced that as a parent; I do know of parents who speak of it highly.
If your cousin is intending to choose where to live based on the ability of the public school system to serve his son, I would strongly urge him to get in touch with families of students with similar needs within that district.

You can't find Holden's schools' demographics, because they're regionalized in Wachusett. https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/general/general.aspx?topNavID=1&leftNavId=100&orgcode=07750000&orgtypecode=5

Did you get excommunicated from the scene for this kind of behavior and that's why you are no longer one. My guess would be, yes.
