Apologies for this being a Fox Milwaukee article, I had a hard time dredging up a local one from the relevant time even though I know it was covered.
Several years back this happened and people were uh...understandably pissed. Turns out Nature's Classroom had been doing this all over the place and recently it's started to go viral on Tiktok so it's getting brought up again.

Which number is it? My friend got it once and I’ve been wanting to try it but couldn’t figure it out based on menu descriptions.

No. Still open. Annie is back behind the grill while Clark technically runs it until the end of the semester then I guess we’ll see.

Wait, I'm out of the loop on what happened. Was there a scandal about nature's classroom?

Ive had both. They're fine pizzas, but the problem is both are nice fancy pizzas (and birch tree isn't even doing pizza daily). Never found that perfect greasy take-out pizza to grab on the way home from work or get delivered after a few too many beers. Options on that front were entirely limited to greek pizza, which is just not good, as I said IMO. I've had great pizza in Chicago, New York, Florida, even Montana.

It is lovely there, quiet with a ton of benches to chill at and people watch.

I mean if you're comparing Worcester to New Haven - widely regarded as the best pizza city in the country - well that's a little snobby. Have you tried Volturno or Birch Tree yet? I'm not gonna claim they're as good as Pepe's or Modern (both of which I've had in New Haven), but they're damn good fancy pizzas.

Reply to Air pollution? by tamillerkt
I have only lived here for a few years but I used to live in downtown Worcester and would walk all over the center of the city and down to UMass on Lake Ave and I never once got a sense of polluted air or "stinky" emissions beyond what you can notice from cars when walking along a busy street.
There is an air quality measuring device that the state owns located on Summer St just next to 290 in downtown Worcester. The data is freely available on a number of websites, but this one displays it nicely: https://aqicn.org/city/usa/massachusett/worcester/summer-st/
If you scroll down you can see historic PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, and CO pollution patterns.
I'm not sure where you're moving from, but the northeast generally has cleaner air than a lot of the country. For instance, people often think of NYC as having very polluted air but even in Manhattan and the dense industrial areas in Northern NJ, the air is much cleaner than places like Chicago, Houston, LA--even St. Louis, Atlanta, Indiana, etc.
I don't know how sensitive you are but I feel like unless you were next door to the interstate or some industrial site, you should be fine here.

Because I’m honestly curious why people are so viciously against one term for a house and literally denying the existence of a term that is used by residents. I mean, I remember living back home and people always seemed really angry and argumentative a lot but this one just has me stumped.

I could ask you the same. You are the one that has "commented a few times" about this. I'm just responding to your replies to my comment. :)

I've been around long enough to know that up until now there is no set pattern in our winters. They have been trending warmer but not consistently. So for some of us this winter has been a nice break from the usual cold and snowy. If the trend continues for a few more winters, I'd be concerned but it could still be New England just being New England. We are very fortunate to live here. The last major blizzard was in 78, hurricanes usually brush by us, we've had a couple of tornadoes but not a single earthquake.

I did hear about that. I still get the T&G headlines in the old inbox from time to time.

You can definitely see it. That's going to take some time to get used to. In other new, the new building had a pretty interesting fire. Building materials were set alight by welding activities. The smoke could be seen for miles.
