There's a roller skating rink in Hudson

> Walkable organic neighborhoods

We have a ton of those.

Worcester is a college town utterly devoid of any college town vibe. That is what the city needs.

They closed Roll On America in Lancaster in 2021, and it was always pretty busy there. Used to drop the kids off for birthday parties and skate nights a few times a month. And now all I see on my Insta feed are people at roller rinks having a great time.

"Hey, I got an idea! How 'bout we tear down Mechanics Hall and put up a roller rink? That's what we need! A big. roller. rink!"

"Out of Worcester"

Thanks. I'd rather have a kidney stone.

Providence is so much closer

Shit me two

Places for people to hang out or places that are safe for women to go to. I've lived here my whole life and I never go out because I don't feel safe going anywhere alone even during the day. But there's also no where for me to go either.

Carl's in Oxford is one of my favorites in the country (I know that's not Worcester)

Less shity police More money put into affordable housing

I get what you mean. Yeah it’s not a place to be rushed, it’s a place to savor and enjoy. :)

Dell'ovo's on Shrewsbury St doesn't really do any specific deals but they're usually incredibly well-priced.

Better drivers. Worcester drivers seem extra special compared to neighboring towns.

A restaurant that I went to like once when it opened, forgot about for like a decade, and then went again recently and said, "Fuck why have I not been coming here regularly?" Great food! (Not that that should be surprising, Rovezzi's was only ever good when Joey was the one in charge.)

And not just another baseball stadium. An exact replica of Polar Park. Bonus points if it's located across the street from the actual Polar Park.

More urban condominium buildings (not just rental complexes) with bike garages, pet stations, underground parking, LEED certification, gyms, etc. Most of the condo buildings in the city are old and outdated. Not everyone wants a house, especially retiring seniors.

Consistant/existent signage would be nice. It is intimidating to drive in the city if you aren't from there. Left lane ends, right lane ends, left lane suddenly turn only, right lane suddenly turn only. Is Route 9 from the Leicester line to Park /Stafford one lane or two? Half of the intersections don't have street signs. The traffic lights are inconsistent. Turn down the street and someone is double parked in front of the dispensary, and there is no where to go. I have to really want to/have to do something in the city to put up with that.

Friends do.

The suburbs have these. Gateway Players, Pasture Prime Players.

True, but not for low income people who live there.

Oh yeah, they do seem nice. Do you currently live there?

Aside from affordable housing and something other than 'the worst trash pickup I have ever seen' this is my biggest wish for the city.

Cinema Worcester does indie showings at the Park View Room (located in the same building as the Cornerstone Bank on Park Ave, just across from Elm Park. I believe one of their long term goals is to eventually get an actual space but that could take a while.

And I believe Cinema320 at Clark is still kicking.

But we really need an actual Coolidge or Amherst Cinema-esque theater. It's insane how far you have to travel sometimes to catch even some of the more noteworthy smaller releases.

There’s an indoor play place in Sutton right down 146. I think it’s call luv 2 play or something like that

Upvote for Joey’s!
