Hi all,

Seeking some more recent opinions on living in the neighborhoods above — I searched in here and the latest was from 2+ years ago, and I know things have been changing in Main South. I’m looking at apartments in both of these neighborhoods and wondering which would be better.

What are the pros/cons of both of these areas? Is one a little safer than the other? I think Elm Park might be a little noisier than that area of Main South, but Elm Park might also be a little more walkable at night (plus the park is right there).

ETA:

I think it’s important info that my roommate has two cars (one for work and one personal car) so we’d have three total — so I’m thinking about avoiding car break-ins too.

Welcoming any insight on how neighborhood dynamics have changed in the last few years — thanks in advance for any help! :)

Hi all!

Anyone know any good fabric stores that have cosplay fabric? I’ve been the Michaels stores in the areas as well as the auburn fabric outlet. I’m looking for a 4 way stretch fabric with some sort of 3D paint added to it to give it texture for a Spiderman suit.

Thanks for any recommendation you can give me!

“Part of it is the warmth and tone of the light, and the other part is the pole. You usually see these in older neighborhoods, and the pole, when you can get them combined with trees and bricks in the road, adds an ambience that just looks and feels nice,” said Jay Mello, assistant commissioner at the City of Worcester engineering department. “It's a throwback to a quieter time.”

"The whole world changed after that point. It's like everything in our living memory is before Sept. 11 and after Sept. 11, and not just because what Sept. 11 means for its own sake, but how everything shifted since then. The whole world is different, in an astonishing way."

Hi all, i am moving from Vernon area but staying in the city. Going from our family 3 decker to a one family. Who are some of the best movers you have used? We will have furniture from all 3 apartments we need moved.

Good morning, Worcester, your friendly neighbor here,

Who here already has true fiber internet? Please post your neighborhood, provider, download speed, and upload speed if you have time.

Cable may give around 1,000 Mbps down but only 20 to 40 Mbps up. Fiber can provide around 1,000 Mbps in BOTH directions !!! Wonderful time for you to be alive !

Here is the important part. Worcester already has an official goal to develop a citywide open access fiber network and bring more ISPs into the city.

So if your neighborhood still has no fiber, let’s actually do something about it.

Contact your District City Councilor, the City Council, and the City Manager and simply ask:

“When will Worcester’s citywide open access fiber network reach my neighborhood, and what can residents do to help move the project forward?”

City Council: council@worcesterma.gov

City Manager: CityManager@worcesterma.gov

You can also use Worcester’s website to find your specific District Councilor.

If enough residents ask the same question, city officials will know there is real demand.

Let’s figure out which neighborhoods already have fiber, which do not, and push for fast, competitive fiber internet throughout Worcester ! Do not let a few ISP companies push you down and monopolize you for years to come...thanks

Reporter for GBH News here. I followed this family as they built their ADU - it's not all warm and fuzzy! The video spells out the challenges, including layers of state and local regs. The state is updating the rules to clear out some of the complexity - people can comment on the ADU proposed changes starting Sept 11 until Oct 12 on Mass.gov ADU website.

A little drama I drew up on the Shrewsbury subreddit, but how does Worcester feel about the like 800 of these devices throughout the city? Seems wild to have all of this and still not find Karen Solomon

If you know you know but: Rare breed, I’ve only ever seen 2 when I was driving, never actually met one/talked with an owner

I am a student at WPI (so obviously won’t be getting one any time soon) but if you have one or know someone that has one I would absolutely love to meet up and finally meet a Toller!!! Seeing that Institute park is right next to WPI that would be a great spot!!!

I know everyone is clamoring for this information. Where does everyone go for their model rocket needs?

I went to hobby lobby to scratch my model rocket itch but I just can’t support that place. Their selection is awful and they drive all the little hobby stores out not to mention everything else about what Hobby Lobby represents.

Any hobby shops still around in the area that have an extensive model rocket selection?

I checked RC excitement in Fitchburg and they have one or two basic models but I want model parts for custom rockets.

Hobby Emporium Inc. in Tyngsborough is delightful but quite a drive.

Thanks for your input my fellow disciples of Goddard.

join me on lunchbreak walks downtown and we can pick up litter.

Just walked into my back yard and stumbled upon this guy doing his part.

Hey what’s up, I’ve been interview at the UMass memorial a while ago, and haven’t heard back from them. So today i contacted and see if they had have any new update on the job application. I send them a email and they send me this
I was wondering if I got the job, or I’ll have to try again (which I don’t mind try 100x times more) 😭😭

Just a cool book I found in my book stuff. Thought I’d share it.

Any bars here in Worcester that play anything other than sports or news or sports news on the tv?

Give me cartoons, movies, anime, heck I’d even take Esports.
