February might not really be Worcester at its best.

More walking and biking infrastructure to make the city more movable without a car

All these options are great, from entertainment, movie theaters, kids places, nightclubs etc etc. The one thing all of them have in common is they are commercial spaces. This involves “commercial tax rates” which is $31.26 per $1000. The reason Worcester has so little to do is because of this tax rate. Which is why many businesses leave Worcester and go to neighboring towns. In Shrewsbury they have a flat tax rate of $14.11 per $1,000. So why open all these cool things in Worcester when the owners can open it in other towns for less than half the tax rate.

I say that to say this. It’s important people start taking part in the city meetings when it comes to tax rates because you guys have the power to adjust these tax rates. Especially now with the out of towners from Boston and California buying up all the real estate and changing the home values average price to the point that Worcester natives can’t afford to buy a house in Worcester or rent because everything’s to expensive.

Speed train to Boston would solve a lot

Hold strong my friend. Verizon Fios will be here soon haha

WCLOC is practically in Leicester, to be fair

A Shire, to spice things up a bit.

Shrewsbury St

no

Oh, btw the art museum could be all 7 hours. It is breathtaking

🌭👑

Art museum for sure. Then maybe a brewery and lunch. We have a great food and drink scene but it has to be researched. Mondays are rough because restaurants aren’t always open, etc, etc

Worcester Art Museum is great! You could definitely spend 5-7 between there and a tour of the local breweries.

SKY-LITE! Yes! And Mill street candle pin bowling

High speed rail connecting it to Springfield and Boston

A decent trash collection and city cleaning. I've been to 3rd world country cities that are cleaner than Worcester. Get rid of Casella and the ridiculous yellow bags!! this city is a dump, I think the mayor and DPW likes to live like pigs. Some cities have trash collection and they'll pick up anything that's on the curb, Casella will nick pick everything. we hardly see the sweeping trucks or city workers cleaning, landscaping. Very sad and neglected city.

It’s more of a Shelbyville idea

Socialism.

Not even kidding.

We need to build funding sources and then invest them into the cultural scene and in housing projects that don't suck, and community gardens, and urban vertical farming, and SCHOOLS.

Exactly, I would rather have had a casino. At least it would bring lots of people and not just baseball fans. Sure it might bring bad people to the city and crime and whatever dumb excuses ppl wanna come up with to oppose a casino, but that’s literally everywhere and this city already has the bad crowd in it. There was a shooting just a couple days ago in broad daylight a couple blocks from the police station.

The teams the stadium was built for hardly play here. It was built before even getting those teams contracted! The city council is so out of touch. They should have made a driving school mini circuit to teach everyone in this city how to drive.

Fair. Though I do live 10 minutes from the Auburn one and 18 from Northboro. There was a Sam’s Club in Worcester but it wasn’t profitable for them. I’m guessing there was a high demand for it.

More greenery

The Boynton is amazing, just don't order the pizza. One of the few places that actually serve haddock 100% of the time when ordering fish & chips.

Parking sucks in Worcester.

Still wondering what happened to that nice gazebo next to hanover and alot of places like it that were torn down replaced with variegations that made the city aesthetically pleasing.
