And the gloominess is often combined with entitlement."Wah wah wah I get to park on the sidewalk because I want to and have always done it and it would be toooooo annoooooying to have to find a parking spot that's actually legal."

No. The sidewalk is ours to walk on, not yours to park on. That's how it works and the fact that Worcester has let you do stupid crap like this for years doesn't mean they were right or that we will let the city let you do it forever.

We are coming for our sidewalks. We are coming for safe streets, and yes, we are coming to make the city give you traffic tickets when you put our lives in danger with your reckless driving and entitled parking.

Club Waka - Worcester

There is an adult learn to play hockey in Marlboro at the Navin arena. There is also one over the summer at the Worcester arena on lake Ave.

Worcester is different today than it was 10-20-30 years ago. And things will change in another 10-20-30 years also. I didn’t say it’s SUDDENLY going to start changing, I’ve seen the city take forever.

You’re the one with your head up your ass if you think everywhere stays the same for all time.

Also, the biggest plague on worcester is residents like you, people who shit on the city every chance they get they don’t do anything to change it, or even want to see it change. The worst thing about worcester are the morbid and gloomy attitudes from the residents.

Stoked to check it out. This will be my first time going but I've heard good things

attainable goal? that's the "head up the ass" that I'm referring to.

if you believe that worcester is going to suddenly and whimsically just "start functioning" then you have offered no suggestion at all.

you think worcester residents are going to bang down doors at city hall to demand...more traffic tickets. you live in a fantasy.

The one with the maple tree snapped in half is harrowing.

And is there ANY CHANCE that people are thinking of forming a sumo club? ...I know I'd probably have better luck asking for an Edgar Allen Poe Impersonator club but I would really, really find a group that wants to do sumo.

Yes. I think there’s kickball and volleyball but I forget who puts it on

USDA says no to wild game meat being sold in the U.S., which is a bummer.

To poke a hole in the "Worcester is not Boston" argument, note that Lowell also uses the wheeled bins and is a much more comparable city to Worcester in most regards. I never lived there personally, only had friends who did, so I don't know the details of their implementation. But they weren't constantly complaining about their garbage collection, and it's probably where we should look for an example rather than Boston.

Im from Boston i think the yellow bags are stupid to black trash bags does the same job but im use to it by now its just another way for Worcester to make money off of us.

Teamworks in Northborough has basketball.

I haven't found any to be honest. But there is pickup soccer (organized on FB) that meets one day during the week for a pickup game

They didnt do that on my street they could have been just some idiots.

You say this like I wasn’t aware and haven’t lived in the city my whole life. Wether or not worcester will do it, is not the topic. I’m saying that all of the above, ticketing cars etc etc is what should be done along with rolling bins. There is no other way. And I’m saying it’s an attainable goal.

Will they do it? Probably not for another 10 years. Not sure why you have this “told you so” attitude. Most people here are talking about solutions, and nothing will be done unless we get loud about it.

“No, that's the jar. I'm talking about the tray. You know the pennies that are for everybody?” /s

The Worcester GAA is awesome, hurling and gaelic football.

If you put bins out the night before they are subject to the elements, wind, rain, even animals which could knock them over. If you put them out in the morning it’s less likely to blow over get knocked around.

Oh, if you have those, I would like to see them. I am from Burncoat.

Resident of Waltham here lurking from a suggestion and this is the problem. What are you guys doing with zip tied lids? I couldn’t get the lid to come off my city issued recycling bin if I tried. The bin itself is RFID tagged. It’s your city who did you dirty on a bad contract. Collaborate with collections and go get ye better bins!!

They cut it off well before winter

My lid has also become obsolete. I wrap my bin in heavy duty duct tape to keep it from becoming useless after the heavy tosses on trash day.
