Thanks :) Discover Central MA and the Worcester Cultural Coalition’s websites are great resources. They both send out e-newsletters 1-2x a month with events and programs. I also lurk the Worcester Events tab on Facebook.

>You said that I ought to be doing something about homelessness, I am

I said "you're here on the internet complaining about it instead of helping homeless people", which is still true. The fact that you take some time out of your life to help homeless people is very admirable, but it doesn't take up 100% of your time. You have time to do other things, just like people at UMASS do. So if you accept that you're allowed to have time to do things besides help homeless people, guess what? So are they.

>So much oxygen is wasted on the whole woke thing

You're wasting it too! This is my point. You complain about "wasting time" but you are also wasting time in the exact same way. You could be helping homeless people right now, but you aren't. You're too busy wasting oxygen. People who post on Reddit frankly forfeit the right to use terms like "waste of time" because none of us actually care about our time.

>If it were something truly racist and offensive rather than a semantic dust up, who could argue with that?

Dude if it was the fucking Ku Klux Klan Boulevard guys like you would still be complaining about how it's "woke posturing" to try to change the name and how difficult it would be for the inhabitants of KKK Blvd to change their address labels.

You said that I ought to be doing something about homelessness, I am, whereas some feel good BS renaming a street accomplishes what? So much oxygen is wasted on the whole woke thing. I agree with a lot of the issues but see what's actually being done as empty rhetoric. If it were something truly racist and offensive rather than a semantic dust up, who could argue with that? I wouldn't but I have to question UMASS's motives, capiche?

Your best bet is to contact your pediatrician. However, I understand that the wait for child therapists is very long unless there is an emergency, and even then it difficult

The only drawback to Honey Dew is you gotta go in knowing it's gonna take 3-10x longer to get your food and drink than it would at a Dunks. I go to one regularly when I get onto the highway and I always crack up at the times I go there and the line is 5+ people deep and at least one person in the line will act exasperated, sigh and fidget, and sometimes even just stomp out mumble/yelling "I CAN'T WAIT THIS LONG!" Slays me every time.

The only place I could get a decent toasted bagel at Dunkin’ was at the White City/Shrewsbury location. Whatever mafia owns all the DDs in Worcester is kinda shit. Also, not saying DD is the best bagel, but if you’re on your way outta town and need a bite and coffee, the Dunkins out there is good at 5am.
