Also, I hope you got some $$$, that hobby is $$$$$

Well, That's Entertainment sells the stuff, so you should ask someone there, they'd probably know.

Oh, no, I am still away from Worcester

I did hear about that. I still get the T&G headlines in the old inbox from time to time.

If it's chipped the a vet should be able to find out who the owner is.

Good, that makes me happy to hear. There will be plenty of potholes for me to report to DPW when I get home.

Does it still look like shit from Elm Park, since they cut down all those trees?

It could be somewhere. Doherty is probably more than a frame now.

The first two I was aware of, but the third I was not. That's interesting

I don't remember which is which, or even which zones are in Worcester, but I looked it up when I was buying flowers online. Wanted to make sure that my beautiful lilies could survive N. Worcester

Worcester actually is in two different climate zones.

I used to think of Holden as very conservative, but that's not really true. I mean, it's true compared to Worcester, but that's not saying a lot. Worcester is definitely a liberal place, but I would not call it the most progressive place, necessarily. Worcester has a strong "do as we've been doing" attitude.

But, a drive out through the wilds that are Western Massachusetts taught me that Central Mass. is another land.

Where do you life in the city? I would recommend you my local mechanics, but you probably also have good options nearby you. Oil changes are extremely simple, its basically juts drain the old oil out and then put new oil in.

With that being said, I am a Valvoline Guy, because I don't like getting out of my car, and I don't need to make an appointment.

Doesn't Holden shoulder a large share of the financial burden for that school too?

I don't know how people buy lunch everyday. It's now maybe $15-30/day.

When I was still lworking (I am in school) the only businesses that benefited from me being there were gas stations. I always packed a lunch, and I would never hang around after work.

I actually have never had my car broken into in Worcester, but I did here in Germany during the second month being here.

Back home, I literally left nothing more than the CDs and paperwork in the car. Nothing would ever be visible from the window.

There's no hope in catching someone when they break into the car and there's no good footage to identify them.

They stole my GPS, and then stole my golf shoes. I was more angry about the golf shoes, because that felt personal.

And at that, don't leave anything anything in your car, especially anything visible

Hard for me go determine, since I've never lived in/ even been to Malden or Salem (outside of driving through the Malden), so I cannot really gauge.

I'll put it this way, Vernon Hills is far from the nicest place in the City of Worcester, however, at the same time, it's certainly not the worst either. If you've lived in not particularly wealthy areas of New England (with triple deckers and the like), you will probably be in your element.

My disclaimer is that I've only lived in North Worcester, and I don't have any friends and family from Vernon Hill. The closest thing to that is that my great-grandparents lived there and my grandfather grew up there, but he was born in 1927, and she died in the 80s, and the neighborhood has changed since then.

I think you'll be fine, so long as you take the normal living-in-the-city precautions.

It's not the nicest part of the city.

However, Worcester is, by and large, a safe city, not a clean city, but a safe city.

Your wardrobe should be stylish, because it pays to dress well! (Also you will need layers for the Winter)

The one with the maple tree snapped in half is harrowing.

Oh, if you have those, I would like to see them. I am from Burncoat.

You basically would need to know someone who hunts, or hunt it yourself.

I used a work with a guy who hunted deer. He would have his stuff processed by a butcher and then he'd freeze the meat.
