Just want to add that the “homeless” are human too- and if you can’t help- offer a kind word or a salutation. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness- you don’t know the circumstances behind what brought them to this space in their lives- go easy- share a smile. I am not wealthy but I still stop and ask if there is anything else that I could help with - and almost always I have been asked for blankets… fear is what you make of it.

Well, hello friend! I have always worked in human services and could never understand why the need for all the education for such little pay…. Unless Of course you are a doc or nurse or radiologist or pharmacist- those jobs MAKE money while taking care of humans - pays very little- no wonder there is so much theft from elders in care- or robbing of patients savings- the people hired to care for them- can’t even make ends meet to begin with… unless they have 2 or 3 other jobs on top of it….

How about high paying jobs that actually take care of the people we love rather than “tech”

I used to work downtown for 8 years. I loved every second of it. I knew all the business up and down the lower part of main from city hall down to courthouse. It was a great place to walk during lunch- I was a city kid- so walking on my lunch never scared me. It was the place I grew up.

When the pandemic shut everything down- that was the last time I was able to really enjoy downtown and all the restaurants and little shops- mid town mall may have been abandoned in most stores- but it was still fun to walk through to remember earlier days when it was the place to go! There aren’t enough people to care about the city’s history- and all it’s accomplishments and successes- instead all That is focused on is crime and such- which is everywhere. But for some reason - this city has always gotten torn apart By its residents- more Likely that no one with influence or money to do something about preservation. Why remodel and save its history when you can just plow It over and pay lots of people lots of money to make it look like shit. Sorry- I just miss the beauty of Worcester- it’s there- it’s just long been forgotten.

I like the towering onion rings too. Yum!

I cannot say one place has a better burger over another- but places I can recall the best burgers- and these would be bacon cheeseburgers- 2 restaurants stick out for me- 1. The Boynton and 2. The Fix. After that- I cannot say for sure… but those two burgers are in my memory and I have not been out for burger in years- and both of these restaurants are still in business- Wherever you decide- enjoy!!
