If that's Greek style they sure fooled me. It looks like a hand tossed crust to me.

I know some people who have used both shelters and they said the Blessed Sacrament one is far better.

I'd say it's similar to grafton Hill, the biggest issue in the area is someone goes into your unlocked vehicle and steals whatever is of value. Area is safe unless you look for trouble, be it involving drugs or dumb gang shit. Resident for 30 yrs

Not the worst neighborhood, working class and most people seem to keep their head down. There was a random uptick of guns being fired in the summertime near the Worcester Academy fields, which was unnerving; one of the people even ran across my front yard to get away from the area. My biggest complaint is that people drive like fucking morons and will fly through the cut streets like Upsala, people park all over the place and leave their cars in the middle of the road sometimes, and the kids can be stupid walking home from school (but this probably happens anywhere) as I was shot by some of those gel gun things when getting out of my car back in the summer time. I walk around just fine.
The worst part of Vernon Hill seems to be on Vernon St close to 295, but I don't know this, its just a feeling.

Seymour Street and the surrounding area is a typical working class hood in Worcester. You'll be more annoyed by the driving and parking than the people imo. I have lived in several parts of Worcester including Vernon Hill and it's all kind of the same.

A difference of 8-15 people would put them all in the same category in most statistics groupings. This is essentially saying that Boston, Worcester, Tampa, New Bedford and Brockton are all roughly the same with, shockingly IMO, Brockton being the safest of the group. Surprised about Lowell as that city sketched me out the most. Daytona doesn't surprise me.
I'm curious about your source and from when these numbers are as well.

Worcester is a lot bigger than Salem or Malden with a lot more people, and a bit less wealthy. If you’re comfortable in lower income areas then you’ll probably be comfortable in Worcester. I lived near Vernon hill for a year in 2019 as a young woman (18). I also mostly walked and took the bus until I got a car. Nothing bad happened, just the quirky stuff you’ll see in low income areas. People generally have much better things to do than bother you. Ignore the alarmists in the comments. Most people believe it’s violent because it’s low income and has more people of color. It’s not the projects, it’s not main south, and it’s not any street known for violence (even those areas have a worse rap than they deserve).

Don’t listen to this person. I live in a “rough” area of the worcester hills. There have been occasions where there were gunshots outside of my apartment and I still feel perfectly safe. Neighbor across the street and to the side is into some shady business and their house was shot at a couple of times, but nobody was hurt or anything. I still feel perfectly safe coming and going at all times of the day. Just don’t get involved in any drama, keep your wits about and be wary of anyone you don’t know who approaches you and you’ll be fine. Despite living in a rough part, my neighbors in my building and some adjacent houses are amazing people whom I’d even call friends.
Source: lived in Salem, Dorchester, Somerville, East Boston, Brookline, etc. & have spent plenty of time in Malden. I’ve lived in “The Hood” and in upper class areas. There are creeps and bad people even in the good neighborhoods. Just be safe and smart. People in Worcester can be pearl clutchers. Safety isn’t guaranteed anywhere.

Tucker was given the tapes to build a false narrative that the January 6th wasn't an insurrection. That was the goal of whomever required MCarthy to hand over the tapes for the speaker role.

No. It isn't safe and hasn't been since the late 1980's.

Vernon Hill resident of 4 years or so here, also a woman. You'll be fine. The worst to be said of Vernon Hill is it can be noisy sometimes because of the population density, but I've never felt unsafe and I walk around a fair amount. Also, there are lots of non-white people, which some people find scary.

This Fox “News” bashing is outta control. I don’t tune into the news stations, looking at you cnn and msnbc, to find out about Fox. “Tucker said this”, one host talks about him so much she has a nickname “Tuckums” for him. It’s embarrassing. You don’t see Ford bashing Chevy. With Maddow’s and Hayes and Reid’s long list of falsehoods along with CNN’s constant rotation of hosts who are fired and hired more than I can count all kinds of reasons unbecoming a “respected” news source, it’s just embarrassing.
Report the news. I’m watching CNN for news. If I want to find out Hamburg is a looney toon, I’ll tune into fox. It’s just embarrassing

Antonio's has a great assortment of pizzas available for slices. No one else really has that. Their plain cheese is about as basic as basic pizza gets, but you go there because you want a couple slices of something different.
