It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 10 years. I find it funny that they will allow developers to chop down beautiful forest land (Bailey Rd) to build what will no doubt be a huge development of overpriced, cheaply built residential housing.

>I can think of at least 10 buildings that are in need of immediate repairs and cleaning up.

The owners probably can't afford to fix them up because anything done is required to be kept historical- which increases the cost ten fold.

About 35 years ago the town had a lot of "townies" and it was also an Era of mass building going on. The newer people set stricter rules and forced a lot of the "townies" out. Staples of the town like the junkyard, Gibsons, and the local Holden Market were shuttled out in lieu of "quaint" streets and the Big Y.

They were once kind of hicks, then went to snobs almost overnight.

Interesting. Thanks for the detailed response. I knew it was a historic area but didn’t know the lengths they went to to try and keep it that way. Historic and quaint is great however if they really wanted to improve the center of town, I can think of at least 10 buildings that are in need of immediate repairs and cleaning up.

Holden is considered an MBTA adjacent community because it abuts Worcester, which has an MBTA stop at Union Station.

My parents moved me to the area of Worcester near Holden and I spent my teen years in the town and going to church with many of them.

They were snobs back then, they're worse now.

Dick?

The center of town 31/122A is zoned historical. They restrict colors on homes and signage to keep main street "quaint." It's why Mc Donald's can't have the arches.

The Mobil station wanted to cover the pumps to bring in more customers. The town said no. They resisted, owner sued (I think) and won but the awnings had to be consistent with historic area so they are wood or faux wood, which cost a lot more because it had to be flame resistant or something.

They basically tried to fuck the business.

The town is notorious for their control over people's private property. It's like one big Homeowners Association.

and where would that be?

Sweet

Mmmm dead skin cells. Soo gross.

Compostable/biodegradable bags are something of a misnomer - they are still plastic bags made from the same petroleum products, but designed to visibly break down until they can no longer be seen. They do not decompose, however, rather they turn into microplastics which are even more harmful than the bag itself.

Oh old Mr. Hertz. As far as I know he is still from Holden.

Jackie's place ask for the great one..

I'm middle class and not white. Other parents actively avoid me during my kids school/sport events.

The amount of swinging that goes on in Holden is insane.

I've had all of the New Haven pies, 'olo is decently close and satisfying and I like Newton Sq Pizza though that's more greek-style. Greendale pizza makes a nice greasy pie. Volturno is high on my list as well but it's not everyone's cup of pizza. I like a lot of different styles of pizza, they all have their plusses and minuses. If all you like is New Haven style, you can always find a Frank Pepe's franchise in a few places in NE.

'Olo gets the pepperoni right. Cups that crisp up with oil in the center. Decently close thin crust too. Give it a try if you haven't.

I moved to Holden from Worcester out of circumstances and man I’m not surprised. The amount of hate I’ve experienced for being poor and/or gay has made it pretty clear the kind of people they desire.

Looks like they do have an EDM scene... this I'll check out next Saturday. Gracias. https://www.thewarp.club/event-details/international-waters-hotel-vernon
