What is the up-to-date term for "ghetto"? Asking for a boomer.

Get em out.

We don't need phones out of schools. We need schools that can adapt to the modern world.

Kelley Square may be all you need. Park side vs Milbury/Harding St out to Vernon Hill

Might as well start by joining the official unofficial Worcester discord server pinned to the sidebar

Appreciate it. You’re right, I do need to upgrade my terminology. I grew up in the “ghetto” part of Worcester so I that’s what I’ve always called it,

"The ghetto"? Bro, you need to update your terminology if you want to be taken seriously.

Anyway, Kelley Square is basically the only part of the city that's been gentrified. Take a walk a block over towards Lafayette St and you still see plenty of run down buildings and such.

Sounds good. It would be good to have a place to hang out in Worcester at night that isn't a bar, especially now that every coffee shop is open for only like an hour each day, closing before it's even dark.

I don't think it really matters where in Worcester, since the city is so small that it is easy enough to get from one place to another quickly.

I second Charles River Greenway, if you just take the commuter rail into Boston, you can get off at the Boston Landing stop and an entrance to the trail is not too far of a walk from there.

I love your idea and I've had a similar thought, where it seems like our society really needs a sense of community. Yes we have our discord groups, or fb groups where we are part of a community, but the anonymity is really hurting us. With the decline in religion and church, I've been toying with the idea of a community "church". This idea is similar to yours, except that there would be a community-based driven aspect. There would be a sense of gathering. People could come together for a mission (to help others). In your idea, it still seems like there would be separation of smaller groups and less of a community aspect. So, I'm not totally sure it would holistically bring everyone together. It would almost be just a rental space for events. Keep on brainstorming. You are onto something and keep us posted.

Good idea, thanks!

Yeah the baseball stadium was a huge waste of money. It only brings ppl into to watch the game and leave. rather than something that would encourage people to visit and stay and explore the city. The demographic that actually lives here doesn’t care about baseball.

Woo skates are good people, definitely recommend.

It’s very hilly for a bike path, so make sure you’re in good shape or you’ll be miserable.

Not surprised. I've seen how he responds to some comments on reviews and social media. Its like an angsty teenager.

Maybe where they put in the new boardwalk around does reservoir? It's not super long and doesn't loop though.

If you're going for distance something like the Minuteman trail or Charles River Greenway near Boston may work better, but they're a bit far. MassBike has a good map of various types of trails.

Just go hang out at Redemption Rock or something and join a board game. Bit harsh but people can do / are already doing all the things you’re describing at a brewery without paying a membership to hang out in a space.

It sounds like you're looking for specific paths to skate, but if you're looking for a communal skating experience, here's some recommendations (I'm a quad skater!).

I have not yet been to any of their gatherings (I keep meaning to!) but there's Worcester Area Skaters that I believe meet every week rain or shine, either in local parks or if it's rainy/snowy in parking garages. More info on them here: https://www.instagram.com/woo_skates/

And if you're open to traveling out to the Boston area, there's SkateBoston that is more blade friendly, I went to a couple of events a while ago when I was still living in Boston. Here's their Facebook private group with info organizing each of their meetups: https://www.facebook.com/groups/6281411823

Worcester New Englands 2nd largest city but, you can’t tell ‘cause we stack ‘em three high.

This reminds me a lot of Redemption Rock, right off Shrewsbury St. Brewery that also has a huge events side with something going on pretty much every night. Maybe reach out to them and pick their brain about how they got started, restaurants have a huge rate of failing within the first 5 years, get all the advice you can before you spend any money!

Best path is probably the Blackstone Valley Bike Path

....can I buy pot from you? Cause that's the most dumb thing I've red all day.

If you do exactly what you are supposed to do, they will not bother you at all.

Or you can half ass it, get into a huge argument about it, and deal with assholes from there.

Seems pretty simple to me

Incorrect because of presence of a curb. Uphill with a curb is wheels towards Center of road.

What are you giving us more importantly 🤣
