Might be a rough take but I think a lot of love goes to Frankies due to just being different.

90% of the pizza in Worcester is Greek style and most of them taste the same.

Outside of the generic greek-style you have:

  • Birch Tree Bread: Often mentioned with Volturnos, it provides another (and I'd agree with those who say better) break from the Greek style.
  • Volturno: brick-oven which gets a lot of love
  • Antonio's: Brand recognition due to the number of toppings. Decent for a quick bite but the Worcester location is over-hyped.
  • Ciao Bella: still Greek-style but slightly better than the 90% mentioned above.
  • Newton Square Pizza: A thinner crust option that might fit the bill if you like Frankies but want something thicker than tissue paper underneath
  • Blue Jeans Pizza: Thinner crust like Frankies/Newton Sq/Papa Ginos but some weird cheese blend that seems to turn translucent. Decent taste, but personally feel like it's overhyped.
  • Olo: I can't really speak for it as I haven't been since the changeover from Dacosta's but they seem to be well received.

It's one of my favorite buildings in Worcester because it highlights exactly why this city died in the first place.

Let's tear down all the old brick of main street and replace it with parking lots and toss up the most bland, boring, beige and black, no windows or defining feature, just an ugly ass chunk of building smack dab in the center of downtown. With a massive parking lot to make sure it wastes as much space as possible.

It's weird how the 13th Amendment bans all kinds of compulsory labor except as punishment for a crime, and they definitely could have added "except jury duty doesn't count" but they chose not to, and the amendment is written in plain unmistakable English instead of legalese, impossible to misunderstand, but literally every court in the country says "yeah but we're just gonna make jury duty compulsory anyway."

I ended up being fine- yay!

​

I wasn't asking about during the declared ban, just in general.

It baffles me how they track it without meters. I've heard of meter maids writing down plate #s with a pen and paper the old fashioned way, or marking the tires/pavement with chalk. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it in practice.
