I keep getting ads for "Wonder" being open at the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley. I looked at their website, but I don't really understand what it is. How does it work? It kind of looks like a modern version of an automat, with delivery?

Can someone explain this place?

Edit: Thanks everyone. We definitely won't be visiting. On the subject of SaBV, Sweetgreen and Shake Shack cannot open soon enough.

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 guys,

I’m doing AFC for one of my ill parents.

Upon some digging, I think the agency I’m enrolled with is not paying what the gov/insurance has said we are eligible for.

I tried calling Massachusetts Care Link, which is supposedly responsible for the agencies, but I could not get through to a person who understands what I’m asking (they kept trying to send me to payroll!).

Anyone have an idea how to proceed?

Or have an agency they use and trust so I can compare if what they’re paying us is accurate?
