I've lived in Malden too. I consider Malden a postage stamp sized version of Worcester, very similar cities, IMHO
I can't speak to living on Vernon Hill, but I enjoy living in Worcester.

You know what's up. It's actually one of the worst areas in the Worcester, especially in the summer time.

I don't think they do, but I got a free tour by wearing a weather hi-vis vest and a hardhat. one of the back doors is usually unlocked, so just open that and get to work

Seymour Street is a dump -- it's between Vernon Hill and Millbury Street. Lots of crackheads around there, and it's up the street from the city's wildest bar scene in the summer time. Get used to the sound of dirtbikes.

My family is currently living in Vernon Hill with a baby (<1yr old). It's definitely working class and as previously said it can get a little loud due to the density of people. Also, parking can be a pain, especially during a parking ban if you don't have a driveway. We've never felt unsafe or had any reason for concern. We're also a younger family so we don't go out at night and pretty much keep to ourselves. We're also new to MA in general so we really only have our hometown (FL) to compare to. The comments keep saying that Worcester is a big city but my family's first impression was the opposite when we first got here.

Vernon Hill is a good working-class neighborhood. It can be loud at times, loud cars, dirt bikes, subwoofers, etc. That's as bad as it gets. Anyone saying that Vernon Hill is a bad neighborhood has either never lived in a bad neighborhood or is firmly stuck in the 90's.

I mentioned it up above but https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/
edit: Also, you might be reading the stats backwards, Brockton is the least safe of the median bunch at 1/156, Tampa the safest at 1/178, but I agree they're all pretty similar enough.

Um you have a lot of identifying information about yourself. Any creep could come on here and literally figure out exactly where you are living. Your street, when you’re moving in, your work schedule, and identifying which floor which 1st floor is easiest targets for breaking in. Please be safe and consider changing your post or deleting it. Worcester is sketch and a lot of people in Worcester are weird af and you never know.

Not that busy, though honestly I call every time and have never had an issue. 5-9 pm tonight give it a try 😅

So should I just go in to order? The response from the previous thread on this topic made me think it was a busy call ahead type of place.

Most likely. There will always be people who don't read signs, don't pay attention to city ordinances, or just feel they should be able to do what they want.

I feel as though they could tow every car parked illegally on the daily and the fuckin morons in this city would still do stupid shit in clearly marked areas and complain about it. There was 3 cars in a row parked on the wrong side of the street (as in they were facing against traffic) across from me, which is what's banned. The police did the whoop whoop and they didn't come out. The cars were all towed about 12 minutes after midnight. The next snowstorm 2 of them were back, parked the wrong way, and during a ban. The next morning they were gone again. Haven't seen those cars since so I am curious what happened.

I ordered a few weeks ago, unless they suddenly closed they should still be around. It is sometimes just one person running the place so they may have missed your call

Not a good clue as it typically didn't rotate on the windiest of days.

As long as you keep to yourself and just be aware of your surroundings at night you’ll be fine. If it’ll make you feel a bit safer you could carry a pocket pepper spray on your keychain (I have one and never had to use it). Give it a month and you’ll get used to the area and get a feel of how the neighborhood is.
There are many posts in this sub on where to find certain foods, nightlife, etc. that I think you’d find useful. Good luck and welcome to Worcester!

Blade have been in the Y position for months now. My guess is that it needs maintenance. I've heard a fluid change can cost upwards of 25k. It's also coming up being 15 years old, if not more, which is the final 25% of the average life cycle of a turbine.

I don't think the wait is like that anymore. We got pizza two Friday's ago and we called at 4 and it arrived at 5.

I've tried to call ahead on a Friday night several times based on peoples recommendations and no one picked up. Are they even still open?
