Sadly, I do a lot of calls as part of my work.

20 pounds. JFC. Put that person under close watch. How do you get 20 pounds of a powder? The connections youd have to have are top level.

Yeah, exactly how I feel about it.

Plus the dude's fucking around with fentanyl, why would you wanna defend that?

Nothing that I can recommend personally unfortunately! I've never used them but I live in the area so I just know that they exist, they should come right up on google so you can compare prices and reviews or even location. I know the one in Marlborough is in the Apex center so there's some food and entertainment options right there.

I have a car so that works. Any recommendations?

The DIY punk scene is good but not as big as it was 5+ years ago. Lots of great local bands to check out. Venues to look for as some others have said are The Raven, Ralph’s, Electric Haze, and some house venues you’ll need to “as a punk” for the address to

Worcester public library also has free wifi if you don't need to be on calls

I don't believe there are any right in Worcester, but I know there some right outside of the city in Marlborough, Westborough, and Southborough.

Especially when it comes to fucking fentanyl. Fuck that guy.

There aren't really any that i know of. Not for that kind of thing, anyway. I would love to open one actually, but I have any way to get starting capital because I'm poor...

People just use local restaurants with good wifi.

Panera bread is ok, but the WiFi is time limited starting with the lunch rush.

The Bean Counter has 2 locations now, and they are great. The one on highland St can get a little crowded with WPI students though. Haven't actually been to the new one on Grove St, but it's a little further walk from the main campus.

Birch Tree Bread Company is great too.

Nu Kitchen is good, but they tend to have their volume cranked too high.

Denny's got me through college because they're cheap and open almost 24/7, but you have to ask if their wifi is working that day, and you'll need a booth for power. If you need privacy or quiet for voice calls, you might be able to ask to use the back room, but you'll likely be forgotten about with regards to service during the busy times because they don't usually use it except for events.

McDonald's has acceptable wifi most places now, as does burger king and Dunkin'Donuts.

I've been known to park outside of Lowe's in a pinch.

That I get. Assuming these folk live here. But what does not sneaky BJs have to do with the city?

Hell, even before it closed, Beatniks was a shadow of what it used to be.

Yeah, I'm all for calling out police for overreaching their authority but this doesn't seem like this is a case of that. WFD discovered a crime in the process of fighting a fire, appropriately responded to the fire, and then reported the crime afterward. Hard to make WPD the bad guys in this situation.

In the general region you have Providence which gets some good acts that don't come through Worcester. Check out Columbus Theatre or Performing Arts Center or Bold Point Park in the warmer months, just to name a few venues.

Maybe don’t have 20 pounds of fentanyl in your possession if you don’t want to get arrested for it regardless of the circumstances?

The firefighters were looking for people still in a burning building.

Entered apt and viewed what they did.

After fire was under control they called to report what was viewed.

Police arrest for suspicion of drug making equipment.

Search warrant finds 20 pounds of drugs.

Sounds legit.

Thank you for your contribution to the conversation.

Thanks for answering. I was merely a messenger. I have never actually gone on one kf these rides.

for anyone wondering, the ride is very accommodating. there are no drops and you will not be left behind. the point is not the ride so much as the community. obviously it is a 15 mile bike ride so you should be able to do that. this is a great time and an amazing way to tour the city. you will have a great time. so tune up your ride and join us!

Well, they do things different out by Northampton.

came here to say the Palladium! I've been seeing shows there since 2000 and I concur, I've seen so many awesome bands there. I even saw Kanye West there back when College Dropout first came out and no one knew who he was (obviously because he wouldn't be caught dead there today). John Legend opened for him! He was incredible.

Well... it is the Worcester subreddit.

Ralph’s still has some great metal bands play though, even if they aren’t big name arena type players. They had Demilich there this year. I think if you prefer “smaller” names or strong local bands Ralph’s is a really great venue for that
