Check out Spider Gates in Leicester. It's a creepy old quaker cemetery

The Main Street catacombs

Spider Gates

The Upton Chamber

Hotel Vernon speakeasy

Spooner Well

Spoodles Deli on Main Street (close to Mechanics Hall and Palladium). They usually have specials listed inside.

Kisoro on Park Ave has a really good chicken teriyaki, veggie, white rice plate and under $10. They also have fairly priced sushi rolls and other items.

NU Kitchen on Chandler Street is really good, they don’t have specials but I figured I’d shout them out. They have really yummy açaí bowls, smoothies, Java, and vegan/natural items. The turkey avocado panini wrap is also delicious.

Sazon’s on Chandler Street for Hispanic food. They have really good rice and beans, & empanadas.

The Clinton ER is significantly quieter as well, with a short wait, and friendly staff.

Milford Hospital has free parking and I have found the care to be a lot better as well.

One time I was at the UMASS ER on a Saturday night and there were fights in the waiting room, multiple people overdosing, and just didn't feel at all safe at all. Left and went to Milford Hospital - there was a much shorter wait and the waiting room was peaceful. No fights! And of course free parking.

Justice for every fourth car or cars with registrations that expire in July!

For 1500 that place better never have an issue, and be over 700 square feet.

Especially since it's not even in Worcester

LOL. Yup. And no more parking spaces. Those can be utilized to plant a tree or make it a green space.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that the courts have often inferred driving to imply consent to various kinds of searches that would be unconstitutional if you were just walking around. No person has to drive, so when you make the choice to do so, you consent to submitting to certain procedures designed to ensure the safety of the public. Don't want your property or person searched in this manner? No problem - take the bus or walk instead of driving.

EDIT: obviously I know that's not realistic for everybody, but it's the logic the courts have used to justify this kind of search.

^ This person Worcesters

It typically means that they'll check every fourth car, or check only cars with registrations that expire in July (any plate ending in a 7), or some other system that specifically isn't "grab that guy, and then grab that guy, annnnnnnd that guy looks like he's worth talking to".

I would rather have any of my kids obsessively watching the weather news hoping that school will be cancelled, and then feel the same sense of joy that I did as I once did. Then I can let the dog play in the snow with the kids.

I can dream, can't I?

"...selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary..."

Does that mean because it's all vehicles? I've been through a couple of these and it sure seems as arbitrary as it gets...

No. The constitution prohibits arbitrary and unreasonable searchers. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts decided that public benefits of checking if you are in compliance while executing your privilege to drive a car overweights your inconvenience to be stopped. They cannot stop you if you are walking or riding a horse, because it's not a privilege.

While it's technically lawful I personally think it's bullshit and just executing a loophole in the Constitution.

You can rent a house in some of the smaller towns in Worcester county for about that. In most cases there's at least two baths and bedrooms. Parking is free, most are pet friendly and there's very low crime. Gas prices are kind of a deal breaker depending on how far out you go and I've read some people don't want a commute. I don't get that, what's worse a twenty minute drive or an hour and half ride on the T to Boston? Anyway I've always had a commute when I worked, the worst was a hundred miles a day but it was all pike and if the money's right you can become inured to anything. I never minded the trade off because living outside of the city had so much going for it.

We switched pediatricians to get away from that parking disaster. Paying for parking was ridiculous, but even when we accepted that and valet, it would take 20-30 mins to get our car. It felt like going to the airport.

Weenie Hut is my new best friend

Technically the checkpoints are unconstitutional as they fall into the category of unreasonable search and seizure w/o probable cause, but apparently the Supreme Court decided to leave it up to the states for whatever reason.

And the dancing was oh so fun! Trying to find that vibe here in Worcester but to be able to be with her 30 and do it!

Oh God, the silhouette. Played lots of darts there. Drank lots of Miller Lite there. Ate lots of popcorn there.

I think because we live within 100 miles of a border (two-thirds of the United State’s population does) we forfeit our fourth amendment rights.

I’m not exactly sure on the particulars although I do know about it, maybe someone that knows more about it can chime in.

$1500 for a 1 bedroom? Damn. This is why people are living, quite happily, in vans nowadays.

I concur 100% with you two. What’s even worse are the government surveillance drones I constantly see in my town and am followed by constantly. I know it sounds crazy but apparently I’m under some kinda “investigation” for something….one example of the drones for all u downvoters

1 bedroom for 1500 is considered reasonable…wtf is happening

Worcester needs a trader joes..
