Reply to comment by xxlaur77 in Worcesters Best Pizza? It certainly isn’t from Frankie’s by OandKrailroad

Fellow Jersey ex-pat here - most of the in town options are terrible. The best pizza I've found is Pepe's, although I have not ordered since they moved to Shrewsbury St. We usually end up getting Antonio's since they do a much better job with delivery. Volturno (go Monday or Tuesday for BOGO) has really good pizza too.

Best bagels I've found is Cafe Fresh in Sterling. It's a haul so we buy a couple dozen and freeze them. Most MA bagels are round bread with a hole.

Verizon DSL- Basically Fios on ancient technology, it's the same line as on a landline phone

Selco is the cable franchiser of Shrewsbury (and also electricity) so they have rights to be the sole cable tv provider, however, I believe that satellite/dish bases have different agreements. https://www.mass.gov/lists/cable-television-licenses

As for 5g Verizon you are probably correct, however, it depends from home to home for how it works

It's really mediocre imo. Probably a 5/10 I'd say. The Portnoy rating is a joke and he probably just felt like he had to give a higher rating because the owner was out there.

Aside from the pizza, the service sucks too. Try ordering around 6/7pm on the weekend and it'll take 2-3 hours. Not joking. Maybe this was okay when they first opened but having to wait that long for that pizza is just dumb. There's far better pizza in Worcester.

Reply to With 4 weeks left, new Worcester homeless shelter reports success by HRJafael

I’m happy for the success this shelter had in homeless placement but I know it’s largely a lie. I don’t like the misleading bias in the article. I own a home one street away from it. Literally a 3 minute walk.

  1. The city and council woman approved the site before public insight from the neighborhood and businesses. They did set up a public meeting afterwards but basically said they already approved it and none of our opinions will be heard (I was in the meeting).
  2. Patrols weren’t increase to prevent crime. It’s because property crime skyrocketed when the shelter opened. Myself and neighboring cars got broken into several times. They worded it; justifying the increase of incidents because they were proactive with higher patrol. It’s the other way around. They promised private security and NEVER hired it until after one volunteer at assaulted.
  3. The article states newton square got special treatment for extra street cleanings. But that’s because drug needles and trash was being discarded on the public sidewalk/streets.

They literally started to take to neighborhood safety measures after someone died there so if that’s success, cheers to them
