I was living in Sturbridge then and we didn't have any problems to speak of the roads were good and the power never went out. Parts of Worcester, Holden, Rutland, Hubbardston, and Princeton got hit pretty hard, trees and power lines were down. You couldn't buy a generator anywhere in Worcester county. I had coworkers that didn't have power for six weeks. One of the good things that came out of it was a real American thing. Everyday on the way to work I'd see power company trucks from all over the place, from places like Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and the Carolinas. Over a few months it had to have been a few hundred. We got a lot of the same help when the tornado hit us in 2011. We lucked out with that, no damage but neighbors up the road got wacked.

Y’all need to try Pub 122 in Grafton and then try to complain about not having good Indian food nearby.

Whole Foods cafe or WPL, Redemption Rock patio in summer. I think there’s also a coworking space in worcester but I can’t remember what it’s called

The Bean Counter on Highland St.

I'm a fan of paradise biryani. Spicy as hell. Kumar's weekend ayce Thali is pretty good too.

I got married there! Granted, it was 13 years ago so I’m sure the cost has gone up, but I think the rental was around $5k for 4-5 hours.

Norstar rink in Westboro! The best!

I remember being woken up by the sound of trees cracking, but I had know idea what was going on at first, I was very confused

Soul of India in Sudbury is 🔥

I remember standing on Pleasant Street and just hearing loud cracks every 30 seconds and - boom - tree branches would fall.

Oh yeah. You could hear trees absolutely exploding everywhere. It was crazy! We had the National Guard out here helping with the aftermath. I lived right down the street from the water tower in my town, so we got our power back on in a few days, but my mom's house is a mile away and without electricity for a couple weeks. We had a run of wild weather and some insane storms for a few years after that, but that's the only one I remember as being totally catastrophic. Even Snowtober wasn't as bad.

Unlikely to find that in a good neighborhood

Thanks. Now I won’t get embarrassed if someone mentions it 😆.

Truthfully, no lol. I’m actually intrigued by how ridiculous it could get especially since life hits a wall down here in Dallas at the sight of a snowflake 😂. I am really looking forward to the seasonality of Massachusetts and the distinct seasons. Like you said, should be okay for the summer! Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!

No pics but I remember it first hand. I was living in Westborough at the time and working at Saint Gobain, and I remember getting stuck for hours in traffic on the way home.

I wouldn't use it. I live 30 min from Worcester and have a car.

the reason you don't use public transportation is because it sucks in worcester. parking is never the answer for cities, it's just too space inefficient
