Two months. He’s been in the position for two months but yes the absolute worst right? Gimme a break. Your extreme bias is showing

I lived in Dorchester,ma for 35 yrs Vernon hill is not a bad area just becareful on Main st. Chandler and Pleasant can get alittle crazy but other than that the rest of Worcester is good.I like Groove st and Park ave.Highland st. Area.If you do move there Watchout for Kelly sq dope addicts and go eat breakfast at the Broadway they have good food havent been there since i lived on Columbia st near vernon hill.

The barrel of wood is about the same as 10 of the bags you see in most stores and for a fraction of the price. Very easy to get to right off 146

It's hard to answer broad "is X area safe" in Worcester cause it often varies street to street, but overall I'd say Vernon Hill is mostly pretty okay. It's loud, parking sucks if you don't have a driveway spot, and boy does it get windy...but I don't think I'd say it's 'unsafe.'

It’s safe for a big city. Although your kinda inviting yourself for danger by posting your exact street name and floor you’re on.

We didn’t need to know the street name Or the floor Or that you’re a woman.

If you’re gonna live in the city you’re gonna need some common sense and self awareness. Don’t be like those people unaware of surroundings that walk all alone at 2am with their phone out face buried in it and headphones drowning out all sound around you while you walk down past a few bars on a dark street. Then get robbed and kidnaped and get mad at the city for having bad people in it.

No personal offense. I work at a college and hear stories like this a lot. It’s sad lots of young people lack self awareness and basic safety measures

I lived in the Vernon hill area back in the late 90s and even then it was not dangerous. Worcester is a very safe city. There is a bad drug problom but what city does not have that. Violence is very low compared to most cities. Your fine.

Malden is a good analogue of Vernon Hill, just flatter

Typically, and I'm pretty sure exclusively, "Greek pizza" is formed in a metal pan. It usually has a bubbly, almost foccacia bread style crust.

I dunno if they still are but Big Y was selling three bundles for $20.

Only for organizations. They've given tours for local colleges and specific related classes.

Get out of the Worcester sub you townie loser

I thought it was Greek style, it looks like all the pizza I grew up with but I'm probably wrong.

I've lived on Vernon Hill for a year. We've had a number of shootings. None of them were random in the sense that it was not a random person being targeted. Which to me was reassuring. Seymor is a few streets away from mine.

I've never had a problem walking to or from the minimart at night or during the day.

Just be smart. And do normal things that you would normally do/not do when you live in a city. Lock your car doors. Maybe get a camera if you want the assurance. Don't walk around with large amounts of cash. Be friendly to your neighbors. Idk. Normal human shit.

It’s gotten a lot better. 20 years ago I’d steer clear but Worcester as a whole, is becoming much safer. There further away from Kelly square the better I’d say.

I’d rather live anywhere in Salem or Malden than a first floor apartment on Vernon hill. Sorry, just being honest. Make sure you watch some home security tips. A common one I know of is replace the screws on the door locks and plates with longer ones. Maybe put up a motion alarm or security camera too. Definitely lock your car.

Robbery Chase

Yeah I did read that wrong. I read it as 186. Fucking old man eyes over here.

Depends on where exactly. In Worcester, you can turn a corner to a new block and be in another world. For a while there, every (rare) time there was a shooting in Worcester, it happened on or around Providence St. So there's that. But there are nice parts too.

I have asked before and no they do not.

I have since gotten a job there and I go inside the plant often and it is not really as awesome as you would hope but I still like it.

Watch an episode of how it’s made that takes place in a factory it will be just as cool

Honestly, good advice for any location.

And at that, don't leave anything anything in your car, especially anything visible

When I was a kid, we were allowed to be at the playground in the park unsupervised. By the mid 90's, we couldn't take the youngest cousins to play on the swings without finding needles in the sand. I don't remember how old I was when I heard about the first shooting in the park. There have been several since.

I would stay away from that area if I could. Even though I grew up around there, I won't go back.

The worst part of living there was Kelley Sq but the new rotary is better much better now. lol

Overall for its size and population, Worcester is one of the safest cities. But also overall Vernon Hill is one of the unsafest neighborhoods in the city. Gang shootings etc..don't do drugs, don't sell drugs, and you'll be ok. Lock your car at all times! Edit: Grew up in Vernon Hill, that part of the city has gone downhill in the last 15 years, badly.

God, I miss East Boston. Reminded a lot of Worcester but more condensed and Mexican. Truly one of my most favorite places.
