Reply to comment by Zinski in Where have all the Honey Farms gone? Changes coming to MA chain by HRJafael
They just built a new one in my town. Gotta say the food quality is surprisingly decent. They've got an actual kitchen back there with people cooking food. It's the same vibes as the gas stations & convenience stores in the South & Midwest -- Buc-ee's, WaWa, Sheetz, etc.
If I was in a rush and had to choose between Alltown or typical fast food, I'd probably go to Alltown. It isn't half bad.

Steel and wire, great cocktail lounge. Greater good or redemption rock for brewery. Kai mook in millbury has some of the best Thai in the area.

What is the payment to you for this? This is a power purchase agreement (PPA) and they can be a good or bad deal for you depending on the details. Everyone who is just saying it’s a rip-off as a knee-jerk reaction doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

“Licensed by the town” means they got permission to canvass. That’s all. They are pushing a “Power purchase agreement” so they put panels on your roof and sell the electricity the panels produce to you at a slight discount to National grid probably 20 or 25 year agreement.
The economics are Almost always better to own the system rather than do a PPA. My company serves Worcester if your interested. Newenglandcleanenergy.com

Not a scam, but not a good deal for you. As others have mentioned, they likely will own the panels and will basically use your roof for free.

They’re gunna put solar panels on your roof, then all the power you generate forever will go towards energy credits that go right into their pocket, not yours. Forever. Don’t do it

It’s outside of Worcester but the West Boylston Rail Trail is pretty nice for a walk or run.

Pizzeria Uno and the Mexican place, both directly across the street from DCUBare both solid choices for that age.

My company delivers stuff to these stores so I knew of these changes. The one in Rutland is now a Family Farms.

Sounds like bullshit, no records of this company having any agreements with Worcester in government document search.
Probably a lease, sign it and they own your roof for 20 years. Hard pass.

If this means you'll be leasing the panels you should pass. If you don't own the panels then the install company can take the income you would normally get from having panels like renewable energy credits. This is why some companies go door to door and set up in malls and Best Buys. They shouldn't be trusted.
We own our panels and have earned a sizable credit with National Grid so even if we produce less than we use we don't pay a bill. This is because MA has net metering. We also get a couple hundred dollars a quarter from the sale of our production due to solar renewable energy credits. So it's basically getting paid twice for the energy we produce.
I have also heard that since the company owns the panels they can interfere with selling the house and the panels can't be included in house appraisal.
If they are offering this deal and still letting you own your system then it's great, I doubt that this is the case.

I always thought honey farms was a much bigger chain for some reason. Makes sense now why the ones in west boylston and at the summit are no longer called honey farms.

I came back after a few years and I wish I just stayed. For one thing the house I got would have cost me 1/2 to 2/3 as much.
The restaurant and bar scene have improved significantly, as have the parks and downtown. The biggest things I miss are Higgins Armory, Showcase North, and Greendale Mall. The northern part of the city has gotten pretty sad.

Not really seeing the lack of clothing stores. There's a Marshalls, a Kohl's, a Burlington Coat Factory, a Gap Factory Store, and a T.J. Maxx, all in Worcester. All we're really missing is a J.C. Penney and a Macy's, and the latter mainly isn't here because there's one just up the road in Auburn.
Admittedly most of my kitchen stuff is from the Worcester Target and is cheap. HomeGoods might have some nicer things but it's hit or miss. For what it's worth since Sears died I haven't really known a brick and mortar store that was great at kitchen supplies anywhere.
And the Dick's Sporting Goods was basically the only place for camping stuff and that closed down, yeah.

Alltown Fresh sounds like an oxymoron.

It's not in Worcester but the Clinton reservoir. It's about 6 miles from the dam to the other side and back. Plus, all the stairs you can do for a great workout. Today you should dress for it, it's cold.

You may want to check out the app alltrails. It provides info on parks, walking/biking trails, and hiking trails. It's pretty useful if you're into doing stuff like that.
