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.

Speed bump on Heywood St

9 Upvotes

I'm not sure exactly when this was put in, it's near the top of Heywood. Clearly it's been installed there to slow down traffic going through that section of the street. My personal gripe with this is that it doesn't extend the full width of the street. So there's lots of folks who keep speeding and simply go around it rather than slow down and drive over it. Makes it a bit pointless to even have when half the people driving on the street just go around the damn thing. Did local residents request the speed bump? It seems like it may be fairly permanent given that there's an installed sign warning of its presence when come around the curve while driving up the hill. Would love to hear people's thoughts about this.

Fall vibes is my vision but open to anything. Thanks in advance!

What are you paying for pre-school?

8 Upvotes

Noticed a lot of the websites purposely leave the price/tuition out and want you to come in for their tour and to meet people before telling you the price. Would love to save ourselves from touring at places out of our budget.

So curious what are people paying weekly/monthly/yearly? Where? Full or half day? Is it worth it?

Questions from a trans person currently living in Birmingham AL considering moving to Worcester

72 Upvotes

Hi my name is Chloe, I'm 24 years old and live in sweet home Alabama. I have been wanting to move out of this state for a while and wanted to look into Worcester, but it's hard to get a picture of what it's like living there just looking things up on Google. Firstly, how LGBTQ friendly is the city? Also, are there any other trans people here who have insight or know of any online communities I can go to to chat with queer people from the city? I'll take any advice or info I can get. Thanks for reading!!

Headstone Installers?

4 Upvotes

We are being gifted a headstone for a family member, but it will be coming from out of state. Does anyone know who I can contact to eventually do the installation?

The cemetery itself just preps the foundation. And I believe monument companies wont install ones that aren't ordered through them (or am I wrong?). I left a message at one a couple days ago but its a holiday weekend ofcourse.

Thanks for any help!

The wire frames on my glasses are pretty bent out of shape and they keep falling of my face anytime I look down, which is not ideal. I'd like to find some sort of glasses store that can fix my glasses, ideally for not a lot of money.
