Kelly Square Pizza has been making my stomach happy with their subs lately... Though I use the slice app, so it's easier for me to get it delivered.

If you're suggesting the grey and black market, that is even worse...

If you're suggesting legal mom and pop grow ops up in Maine, I'm 100% behind you. I'd also be 75% behind growing your own, but not everyone can do that, including myself.

But I wouldn't trust grey/black market weed at all these days, it's laced with everything and the amount of pesticides is sheer un thinkable.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but if you do your homework you'll find great quality flower.

It is local, everything is grown, cultivated, harvested, tested, inside of Massachusetts. Same with post processing for concentrates, and edibles, all done within the state boarders. It legally has to be.

The issue is these operations, while "local" are actually run/financed by out of state hedge firms and or have major funding sources that are located outside of Massachusetts, as there is no law that tells you where you can get funding from.

I have heard more than good, than bad about them, Ive only been there once lol /r/bostontrees seems to like them, that's why I gave it an honorable mention. Clear Sky I frequent offen case they have the cheapest Cresco cartridges and concentrates you'll find anywhere.

I'll take your word for it though, the one cured resin cart I got from them was dog shit lol

Stay away from Cookies, horrible customer service and don't stand behind what they sell. Plus most of their flower options are stall over priced mids. I had a vendor basically telling them to replace a product, that they would be credited for it. Ross from what I gather refused... The vendor took care of me themselves... I'll note here is I've had returns at many other dispensaries as I buy to much weed, and I have never had an issue. See my post history for more details on why you should stay away from Cookies.

Good Chemistry, Mission, Mayflower and The vault is the way to go.

Botanist and clear sky get honorable mentions.

Resenate and Diem gets a note worthy. I don't frequent them often enough to have a better option, I haven't any issues the few times I've gone. Except some dry bud from Diem, but that's because it was patriot cares flower and packed months prior, I smoked it non the less lol

Buds is over priced now, and trueville is just expensively over priced.

Major bloom is great the couple times I've been there, it just has horrible parking in a really sketchy area. I may try their delivery service at some point.

And Sunnyside, is Sunnyside. A little expensive, but you can't go wrong typically. My go to for cheap edibles, those 100mg hexibars will smack you lol

Have you looked at the crime map for the area?

Probably a homeless OD. They probably hit them with narcan and then they refused treatment. You'll hear about 1-3 calls an hour for possible OD(edit- obviously it varies) , if you listen to the FD/EMS and PD scanners. Either that or the buildings fire alarms backup battery died, causing it to trigger a response.

Welcome to Worcester.

Name/location?

Doesn't seem that high considering they have been warning everyone of huge rate increases for over a year now. I have gas heat but have an electric window AC, my power bill for a month averaged $300 over the summer(which is about double what I paid previous summers). I am in a studio apartment too.

Also how old is the electric heater? ... They eat power worse than an AC unit does, especially if they are on the older side... Hopefully it isn't a wall unit, even brand new those things are terribly inefficient.

That was just a basic example of a simple task job lol

Indeed doesn't even show one open position for biotech anything in Worcester, nor does ZipRecuriter. I checked a few biotech companies located in Worcester website and they had very few positions open.

We are talking about easily accessible and currently hiring entry level positions or near entry level that pay enough to live in Worcester, that are in abundance that all pay average $25.

We were only talking about options inside of Worcester city limits.

That's all well and great, until you have to cross any busy street.

Then may the odds be ever In your favor. God speed.

When you say "area", you mean inside the city of Worcester correct?

I only have one friend who is living comfortably in Worcester, but he is a stay at home video game developer.

I also have a few friends that own homes and are financially comfortable, but just want out of the city for x y and z reasons.

There is a GE in Worcester?

No you can't. That seems like a pipe dream. I'd love to see some proof of this.

Just go on any job site and look up biotech manufacturing jobs they're all 16-20hr. With most of the jobs implying you need prior experience.

The people adding a screw in during the assembly process on the line are not making 30hr.

Maybe if you go for a specialized position or team lead.

All the jobs I saw that made north of 55k a year required you to have a bachelor degree in one of the following depending on position, Microbiology, Biomedical engineering, Biology, etc.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, I'm just saying this would be the exception rather than the rule.

Yeah but if you look at average pay, the floor employees are making around 20hr.

Have you tried this?

Shows you every limo company operating out of Boston that is registered with the state of MA. See below.

https://curtisgabrielbeta.com/ride-mass/ride-listing/?location=Boston

I would assume it's near the Shrewsbury line or Auburn line. Or possibly downtown. Just taking guesses.

Oh nice.

Guess I'm stuck with Spectrum, as I'm in a appartment lol

Yeah the news reports are super confusing. Because they say fiber is "coming", but then they also talk about 5G Home.

I'm wondering if they will offer 5G home first and start offering fiber once it is in place.

Idk I would love to know what they tell you.

I don't think it's gonna be hardwired/fiber connections though?

From everything I've read, i think Fios in Worcester will be supported by 5G. So basically they just give you a tank of a mobile hotspot router with unlimited data.

I'm not complaining as either way I'm going to give it a go. But sadly I think unless it's true fiber, spectrum is going to still be the better option.

Edit after more research and the below comment I realize i was wrong and it will hopefully actually be real fiber lol

The issue with Worcester right now is there are only so many open apartments and everyone is trying to get into them. Which means landlords can be picky.

The biggest thing is you need to make x3 the monthly rent a month. So if rent is $2,500 you need to be bringing in $8500 a month to qualify for that unit.

If I were you I'd get on top of finding a place, it could take you awhile if you're not using a realtor to help you in your search and advocate for you.

To put it in prospective, a good friend of mine HAD to move to Worcester for a complex family situation he has going on. This was about 6 months ago. He makes $120k+ a year and couldn't get into a decent 3br apartment for under $4k, he applied and applied. He was always qualified, but he could never get his applications before other people. (First come, first serve)

Because of that he was running out of time so he ended up buying a house in downtown Worcester for double what it sold for 4 years ago. Newer construction but you can tell it was just thrown together.

Hopefully that gives you an idea of the rental market right now in Worcester lol

I totally agree, but i also understand most restaurants cant feasibly do that. It's untenable.

No one is saying they aren't, they are saying that is not enough revenue to support it without the city giving tax credits and funding.

They're also saying people just leave Worcester post game as most games end past closing time of most restaurants in the area, with the exception of maybe 99, Wings over Worcester, and some pizza places. (Only including family friendly options). It's not like people are leaving the park in hordes and head into downtown / Kelly sq. And on top of that people tend to not want to spend more time in Worcester than needed.

Oceans are a lot easier to manage than underground aquifers. The only time oceans become an issue is during storm surge. Boston also had more up to date levies and canals which helped make the big dig possible.

Your looking at a 100 billion dollar project if Worcester wanted to do that. Not to mention around hundreds of millions a year to maintain it into the future.

I'd rather we spend that money on public transportation, than try to fix the massive problem that is the personal automobile. We all don't need vehicles.
