I find that hard to believe. I've moved every 6 years, on average. I've never had a problem with the change of address. You know the US postal service will forward your mail for up to 18 months after your change-of-address?
And, of course, I actually inform my creditors when I move.

I think this is the same family that owns iKrave on Park Avenue.

Whatever. You started off with "Quinsigamond Plantation was part of the trans-Atlantic slave trade," which implies that it was something more than just some outpost and was actually used for the slave trade. But then when I asked for a source, you started in with posts about, "Plantation isn't a Nipmuc word!" and went after a vagary in what I wrote, suggesting that I didn't know the British were Europeans or that the Europeans gave it the name, all trying to move away from the actual point, which was that the word "plantation" in this context had no connection to the slave plantations of the south and entirely pre-dates them.
Now you're telling me, "Oh, you should learn things, durr durr," in response to me pointing out that your logic leads to the word "plantation" being offensive only insofar as every single other colonial name is offensive.
And sorry I mis-named the book I read and found overly superficial decades ago while quickly typing at very odd hours this morning.

Went there once when we moved to Worcester, I felt like most of the furniture was IKEA quality without IKEA’s low prices and that’s definitely not what I was looking for

You hit the nail on the head. Least effort to make them feel better they “did something” without going the long and arduous way of actually fixing and dismantling the true issues.

Worcester Animal Rescue League is the shit. We’ve gotten all our animals from them for the last 20 years.

Reply to comment by jpm01609 in Why is the newly redeveloped Shell/Nouria on Southbridge St near Holy Cross/290 and Rotmans, taking FOREVER? by [deleted]
Thank you for telling me what I already know.
The expected opening date was May 2022, I just want to know why it was extended or what the problem is as I live within 500ft of if it...

Reply to How good of a place is Holden MA for Asian Americans? by [deleted]
With a child on the spectrum, Holden is a good bet. He'll get better services through the Wachusett school district than through Worcester. Worcester schools are fine but if I had an impacted child I'd prefer to be in Wachusett. Wachusett might have more opportunities for gifted students, but, the kid is 4. Talented in 'music, computers, STEM, and maps/geography' at 4 years old sounds a lot more like a parent over-embellishing their first born than reality. Either way, Holden is a good bet.
I am not asian american but Holden is fairly affluent and welcoming. Most of MA is, really. As others said, Worcester has a decently sized Vietnamese population and Worcester borders Holden; might be able to find some community connections that way. Again, with a child on the spectrum I would opt for Holden, but depending on where you live in Holden everything in Worcester is a short drive.
