Community organizations might be a good idea, how does one start getting involved in that?

Reply to Can you buy wild venison in/around woo? by Sorry-Ad-7884
It's illegal in ma to sell wild game meat. Need to hunt or know a guy/gal who does. I've seen whole foods sell venison but it's farm raised meat.

Start with your hobbies.
If you like music, there's tons of venues already mentioned.
Gaming - That's Entertainment or All Systems Go depending if you like table top or video. (There's other options as well)
Climbing? Central Rock Gym
There's also the meetup app. There's a Worcester 20s-30s group that does things like hiking trips nearby or restaurant/brewery meetups.

I’ll bet you anything even if they do catch him they won’t actually do anything about it.

Check out the new restaurant blackstone Worcester. My friends in the techno/house/music scene are doing residency type shows there every other Saturday. If you use Facebook you can follow blackstone Worcester and they post about their upcoming live music.
Other good venues include electric haze, mint kitchen and bar, the Vernon, Ralph’s rock diner, and more.
Another way to make connections is by getting active in the community. I organize with Worcester Community Fridges and have met some amazing friends in my community activism and mutual aid. We’re on Facebook and instagram!
Feel free to message me if you have any questions! Fellow worcesterite here (F29).

Based on…? The fact that I prefer cleaner, safer neighborhoods?
The reality is, you don’t know me. I could be a doctor. I could be an HVAC tech. I could be a beer salesman. I could work for the railroad. I could be an EMT. I could be a student.
Yeah I’m from the boroughs. Still love Worcester. I’m happy it’s on the upswing. Why aren’t you?

You basically would need to know someone who hunts, or hunt it yourself.
I used a work with a guy who hunted deer. He would have his stuff processed by a butcher and then he'd freeze the meat.

Reply to comment by Massnative in Moving From Dallas to Worcester in a month - Any advice regarding housing, do’s & dont’s and generally anything that would be helpful is much appreciated. by LDNbisKIT
Thank you mate, I appreciate this. Growing up in London, I value walking and access to things so much more than the average person. Dallas is so car-centric and it’s gross. Looking forward to the daily jaunts around town. Thanks again 👍🏾

The rent in Fitchburg is going up too. Average here is now $1600 (at least in December 2022).

BT's, no less.
They're run by great, friendly people who shouldn't be having this happening to them, they're no corporation who wouldn't hurt from this.

There are cornhole leagues at many breweries and The School Yahd in West Boylston. Darts, bowling, hockey, fitness classes if you're into that stuff. Rock climbing gym. Bars. Breweries are usually very friendly.

As good as her food is, the options are rather limited and quite pricey for what you get.

Great suggestions all, would add non-alcohol events and organizations. Music Worcester. Worcester Art Museum. Volunteer possibilities. Join a chorus. Take sailing lessons at Regatta Point Community Sailing
