Which also makes it difficult to drive across quickly and adds to surface street congestion. I'm not sure most people would list lack of highway access as a good thing.

That's what I was thinking. Get people off the roads. It's the only way Worcester is going to be able to keep growing. We need to be able to get people into, out of, and around the city without adding to the congestion.

Nah, that's really more of a Shelbyville idea.

Transportation infrastructure. Right now cars are the best way to get around the city, and even driving around sucks ass.

MIT has a similar program.

There's just something unsettling about people who sit around and use their free time like this. Instead of volunteering to work with organizations to help victims or whatever other good you can do, you're going to spend your time online pretending to be a little girl hitting on pedos? And then you're going to destroy people's lives based on your own conclusions? This jackass got the wrong guy and still posted the video, clearly showing his face!

The tractors from the big box stores may even be cheaper versions of the name brands too. Go to an actual dealership.

Well if you're gonna go all the way to the White Mountains with a 6 year old, then you got to make time for Santa's Village and/or Storyland!

I can't say I've ever noticed a particular attachment to it. There's just a lot of talk right now because it's next up for development and everyone has an opinion on that.

Gotcha! I was just being cheeky. You could try Mt Watatic, that's about as far east as I'm familiar with lol

Why you willing to go all the way to Mystic, but not leave eastern Mass? You're only missing out in the best hiking in the state: the Quabbin!

Job opportunities in which field? There's a lot of work in healthcare and education, but outside of that and the trades it can be tough.

Here's the original article yahoo scraped this from.
It goes into a little more detail, but we do now have the POST Commission responsible for tracking this stuff and certifying officers. It seems they haven't been very transparent about what they're doing already though. One would hope they're just working through a backlog, having just been established and all, but the fact that it was this easy to find multiple cases they should have already pulled for review does not look good for them.

Oh wow! I remember them making a big deal about having an S number when I first got my license, so I always figured it was some antiquated shit they took forever to get around to fixing. Makes it even worse that they switched into using SS numbers.

Reply to SunRun SCAM by sexylexy
Did you actually sign a contract with them? Or is the contract deeded to your property? I don't know about SunRun, but my old landlord had his roof leased to one of these companies and they were terrible too. I feel like most of these things are scammy.

Reply to comment by Unique-Public-8594 in “Best” area to live between Amherst and Framingham by emanemonemily
I'd say stick with western Mass and get a job out of Bradley. Screw driving to Boston even twice a week. That's hell even in the normal commuter areas, nevermind from somewhere that's going to be daily drivable from Amherst. Plenty of wine bars and coffee shops in Pioneer Valley.
Edit: Also, OP, upgrade from Trader Joe and shop at Atkins instead.

Uh... the stadium? Also, Higgins Armory isn't a museum anymore, hasn't been in years. Their collection is kept at Worcester Art Museum now.

I come through Goddard and across Stafford for work, so I see a lot more people straight up trying to race lights. At least once a week, someone tries to blast down the right lane at the double intersection at the end of Goddard, just so they cut off everyone waiting to take a left.

Reply to Paid sick time by canibringmydog
That sounds illegal. Massachusetts has a sick time law which allows you to accumulate up to 40 hours of sick time per year if you are full time. So if you had accumulated hours under the prerequisite conditions, then they are protected.

That's completely false. It's actually statistically safe to drive on highways, since everyone is driving in the same direction.
