Reply to Advice request: restaurant/venue for a lunch (or dinner) party for 60'ish people by marcamos
If you want to spare 60 ppl the headache of driving around Worcester by google-map then I suggest that whatever u choose is easily accessible from I-90.
Maybe a country club off I-90? Plenty of parking, usually space on the calendar for a party that size.
Good luck!

Damn tho variability from 35-350 is tough. I really hate spectrum but I use a lot of bandwidth for work and work from home, couldn't really switch if I knew I'd sometimes be getting 35mb/s when I have to download 500gb of footage

It used to be much more common. Part of the the problem keeping airline operators at Worcester. They’ve upgraded the approach system, it’s better but they still get zero-zero days. That is zero feet of cloud ceiling and zero forward visibility.

I was on a flight once that got diverted to Boston because of low visibility

I have no idea if they do or don't. We don't have cameras so didn't even think to check.

Does t mobile 5g handle security cameras? Cause I heard that they don’t. Maybe they upgraded to where they can? Something about them only working on 5 ghz???

Not sure this is what happened anyway, but to your comment:
If they are flying into Worcester, isn't it a pretty safe assumption they either have their car there or someone is waiting to pick them up?

This is close but it may be way more interesting than that. I listened to the ATC, briefly.
It sounds like the approach charts that Jetblue had for this require full instrument landing systems but that the distance-measuring radios (DMEs) have been out of service in Worcester for like a month. NOTAM reads:
!ORH 08/011 ORH NAV ILS RWY 29 DME u / S 2208101301-2304192000EST meaning "DME Unusable".
Worcester Tower said it was fine to try without this, and it sounds like the pilots tried a couple of times but weren't predisposed to taking risks when their paperwork says they needed the system that was broken.
So it was a combination of broken ILS, bad weather, and caution.
Disclaimer: not this kind of pilot.

Right, but they're a business. They can easily compensate the people who don't want to be in Boston with something free.
It's a pretty safe assumption that a good portion, if not a majority, of the people flying on the plane live closer to Boston anyways.

Wells that’s Sutton he could have told the passengers so they could make alternate arrangements.

I have been through this issue in the past around 2018-2019. JetBlue did shuttle passengers back to Worcester at no charge. And also give you a credit for inconvenience.
Not sure about nowadays though.

When this happened to me Jetblue gave all of us tickets for cab rides home. They also gave us $50 Jetblue credits

Both the Auburn and Lake Ave rink have public skates on Friday nights, I believe it’s 6 bucks a person and if you need to rent skates, that’s 5 or 6 bucks a person too.

I live in Worcester. There’s no way I’m staying in a Boston hotel when I just want to get home an hour away. A bus or van or Uber reimbursement would be all I want.

Reply to comment by YotasAndPolestars in Any ice rinks in the area with a public skate? by clboisvert14
In my area mine did too. It looks like a lot of rinks stopped them after the pandemic. Just looking for a nice friday night date night with a girl who wants to learn how to skate

Didn’t realize how late this was posted — the airline would almost certainly cover a hotel

I don't think we had 60 people but I went to a pretty large gathering at O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar so def worth checking out. The website says their entire restaurant capacity is 400 people.
