On and off ramps from the towns surrounding the city to any main highway as well as a direct road into the west side/tatnuck area. Cut down on secondary traffic in morning and night.
That airport road would've been a godsend for today's city. It's too bad the nixed it.

First- ewww gross. Guys a perv.
Second- underage people should not be working in hotels making in room deliveries. That's just asking for problems right there.

Can we just start a seperate- "I'm moving to Worcester.....?" pinned thread? I've seen 5 of these posts today, which is fine- but maybe a question and information thread might help a lot of people with questions. We can have a different neighborhood thread's on each- etc. We can contribute info to it etc...

I'm 99.7% sure. I was 20 feet away and there was yelling and flailing- but yes. Think it's her. If picture was near may street entrance on the handicapped parking area- then it's definitely her.

Oh damn, yeah I walked by this morning (945ish) to go to the post office. There were 4 cruisers in there and this woman was yelling with the officers about taking her stuff out of the car. I think they arrested her. Not sure what she did but she was going off.

Weird and eclectic soda mix. Also check out the Asian Market near Mill Street, they have weird chips flavors- bet they have unique sodas.

Reply to comment by OrphanKripler in Not finding any news on this at all. Anyone hear anything about this? by MTRIFE
The baseball stadium will likely not bring down property values or increase crime. Casinos typically bring property values down between -2 and -10%. Newer studies (most recently in MA) have shown that casinos can either raise crime rates or decrease them. It's a crap shoot.
I'd rather not take the risk.
For the record, I don't think the stadium will be a long term success. It's a novelty that will wear off soon. I hope they do add concerts and other non- baseball related events there to give non sports fans a reason to go and make the venue more multi-use.

Yeah. Mine are BRIGHT. I always feel bad but nothing I can do about it. I agree with OP though, I've got a stigmatism and see a twinkle with lights as is, these halogen/led lights are ridiculously blinding.

Seats about 9508 people, then include employees and workers etc....that's a low estimate. City said in article it was closer to 5000

Doesn't matter the restaurant- the big complaint was the games routinely killed business because there was no parking for customers and no one wants to pay 20 bucks to go have a drink.
The games bring 4000+ cars to the area. Where they all supposed to park? The lot owners and city capitalized on it, raised fees but then left no parking for anyone wanting to go to area to eat or drink.
They aren't gonna solve the problem by putting in more businesses when there is no available parking.

Thought the WooSox would help the area- seems to be doing the opposite.

Exit 134A off the Pike- take a left and you're in Chinatown in Boston. Sadly no dimsum in Worcester.

Pepes taqueria- consistently good tacos and burritos. Not hot enough spice wise for me, but admittedly nothing is. Tacos and tortillas made in house.

Reply to Just in case any resident of the four most western countries had ANY doubt of their position in the minds of the rest of the state... "Western Mass.. I don't even understand as a concept," says one Bay Stater. by Emergency_Address_51
Being in Worcester, I've always considered us the beginning of Western MA. I drive west of the city and it starts getting very rural and the forests get more expansive. I drive east and it's more congested. Politically the state demographic changes about 2 towns over from Worcester as well.
Technically Rutland is the geographical center of the state (they have a tree that marks the center in town, worth the stop and picture) and I think that once you get 2- 3 towns west of Rutland you start the beginning of Western MA.
84 and the CT River are the best boundaries to really delineate where the west starts. The proposal to make WMA its own state always started at that marker.
