someone got shot approximately 100 feet from the tape in that photo a few months back. millbury street is a disaster area and FEMA really should take over administration of most of this town.

what's happening in any given neighborhood in Worcester is the same as what's happening in every other:

lots of hopelessness

what the hell is the point of this comment?

It literally never ends, they patch a hole then come back the next year for another.

good thing so many states have the death penalty, then. not sure why you wrote such an unhinged rant about a non-issue

This is one of the most expensive places in the country to live with one of the lamest job market around. You should try to find a more welcoming area if possible. Landlords around here are scum and the people are rude.

still not sure why you're singling out schools for this. also, that's a weirdly flippant statement for a school to make about shootings, so it's a strange thing to expect after Columbine.

yeah it's up to the schools to be on top of active shooter situations around the city

all of this is on the lazy idiot cops and the crooked city council

and obviously our country's ridiculous gun laws

there are a lot of homeless here that you can hang out with, maybe you could try to organize some of them into a labor gang

don't complain about the accessibility or usefulness of local transit if you don't want the local transit otakus to get on your ass. you're supposed to be thankful for the fact that floridians deign to visit our fair city.

Sounds like you have some serious issues to work out. Maybe spend some of that money you brag about in literally every one of your posts on a divorce attorney?

if you're rich and willing to live in a town full of assholes, you'd be a lot better moving to a real town closer to Boston than wasting your money on a palace in the middle of the woods.

OP is complaining that his bike was stolen; bike lanes will not change the fact that this city's top three industries are lying, cheating, and stealing.

it's the only thing they have to brag about

you sound like you're advocating terrorism, vigilantism, or stalking. i'd rather sound stupid than dangerous. :)

no, obviously not. if I were, I wouldn't have sarcastically quipped about vigilantism and stalking being good. learn to read. or are you a cop trying to entrap people in a post about cops not being able to recover stolen property from idiots?

too bad the cops don't care about doing their duty, either. it's almost like this town has no real community and no effective government.

too bad the cops don't give a shit about anything other than arresting fentanyl dealers

vigilante stalkers are not the solution to any problem, this is stupid.

I cannot think of a better way to run into a real-life group of slasher movie villains than this

Jelly's next door has better music. People know nothing around here.

Probably because everyone in Worcester who doesn't agree with this guy's sentiments has just accepted him as a fact of life. Everyone knows Worcester is run by this sort of guy. This sort of intimidation is tantamount to terrorism and nobody wants to pick a fight with the gun-toting lunatics.

congratulations on eating all that bread and having so much fun at the circuses; some of us weren't able to make it to Mohegan Sun or any kind of celebration because of the aforementioned traffic. I could choose to enjoy traffic, I guess, but it's not really a reasonable thing to do. Thanks for being another member of the Worcester community who tells people to just grin and bear it instead of actually advocating for change or expressing opinions! with people like you, no wonder the city council loves itself so much--you silence critics by telling them they're just not enjoying failure properly. Sorry, but it's the 21st century and these are actual problems that impact people's lives. "Choose to be happy instead of choosing to be miserable, you miserable loser!" is one of the worst takes you can possibly have, but it's the only one that is acceptable around here.

you can pay thru the nose to get into Palladium shows, but that's probably it. when you're 21 you can go to the terrible bars where the musicians not good enough for Boston play as white noise to drown out the screams of the homeless population that lives outside the Hotel Vernon. at the end of the day, there's no good local punk scene in this town, no activism capable of making any change. the people who go to these terrible shows to support their friends will tell you it's not true; deep down, though, we all wish that Worcester had more competent rock musicians and fewer people who just want to be praised for owning or renting an instrument.
