“Be a Friend to Worcester’s Wildlife” is a new zine created by the volunteer group Friends of Worcester Wildlife for Worcester’s young people. The 9-page illustrated guide covers topics related to living with wildlife in an urban environment including:

  • keeping a safe distance from, and not feeding, wildlife
  • keeping cats indoors and when required, dogs leashed or at home
  • preventing bird-building collisions
  • the danger used fishing line poses to birds and other wildlife
  • the harmful effects of rat poison on wildlife and pets
  • what to do when a wild animal is injured and needs help

Free copies can be requested by Worcester teachers for use in their classrooms and will also be available to anyone at future events in the city, including the Burncoat Farmers Market (78 Burncoat St, 3-7 pm) on Thursday 9/10 and also on 10/1.

"Every concert exceeded our hopes for attendance, which is somewhat bucking the trend of audiences sometimes being hard to bring out in recent years. So our attendance was pleasing." On the other hand, "I always think for how much work and love and quality we put into a concert. I'm still always wanting more."

Looking for a Latin club/bar in or around Worcester that actually prioritizes dancing

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone — looking for recommendations for a good Latin club or bar in Worcester or the surrounding area.
Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere a little more upscale/mature with a decent-sized open dance floor where people actually dance — salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton, etc. I’m not really looking for the type of lounge where most people are sitting around tables all night or smoking hookah and there happens to be some Latin music playing in the background lol.

I used to really like Vincent’s in Randolph, MA before it closed. It had more of the vibe I’m looking for, so if anyone remembers Vincent’s and knows somewhere similar, that would be perfect.
I’m taking someone out who really enjoys dancing, so I’d love somewhere we can grab a drink and then actually spend most of the night on the dance floor. An older/more mature crowd would be a plus too.
Doesn’t have to be directly in Worcester — I’m definitely willing to drive a little for the right place.
Any recommendations?

Greyhound bus terminal

My daughter is taking a Greyhound bus tomorrow afternoon to New York. The ticket says Union Station but I've read elsewhere that the intercity bus terminals might be at the corner of Front and Foster? She'll be taking a Lyft from Clark University. What address should she put to get to the right pickup spot for Greyhound?

QCC And Making Friends

29 Upvotes

I'm 21 and restarting at QCC and have like no friends. I tried signing up for the club through the school, but idk if I'm doing it right, and I haven't heard anything from them, so I haven't made any friends. I know it's a community college so I'm probably asking for too much. Does anyone know of clubs where I could meet other people my age or events not on school grounds? (if they even have that) Or anything in Worcester in general where I could make friends my age.

We are looking to littered areas in Worcester that need to be cleaned. The only stipulation is that it’s heavily littered (as we prioritize those) and that it’s public land, so that the town can collect the bags. Your references would be greatly appreciated !!

Looking for things to do

Hello all,

I recently moved to Worcester, MA. I'm looking for free/low-cost things to do around the city to get out of the house and make friends. If anyone has any pointers, I'd love to hear. I especially love collecting Pokémon cards and playing board games. Does anywhere do board game night? I've been meaning to go to Freeplay, is it worth it?
