It is so ridiculous to me to that the city won’t do WHATEVER IT TAKES to improve the WRTA. Granted, the powers that be at the WRTA also have to do the work to get what they need to improve (hint hint: get more federal & state funding. Baker vetoed a bill that would increase RTA funding BTW)

The WRTA ain’t perfect, but if it ran more frequently and late into the evening that would be transformative for this city.

We would 100% take the bus to polar park (for us it would be a 5 minute walk to the bus stop, 5 minute ride, and 8/10 minute walk to the park). The only reason we can’t is it doesn’t run in the evening. So instead, we drive 7 minutes, pay $10 for parking, and still walk that same 8/10 minute route.

It’s so much nicer to experience the Canal District without having to think about parking the car.

I don't like Chinese food but like once a year I crave it and I'll only get Wen Hing on lower Lincoln st. When my mother visits from Tampa she HAS to get Wen Hing. She said Florida Chinese takeout is different and disgusting. Everything about Florida is different and disgusting 😅😅😅

I vote for making Worcester more walkable, with more public transportation and more bike lanes. If you create more parking that means more cars. People in cars have only one destination in mind. They come in and they go out . People who walk notice and stop at multiple places along their route. It's so much better for businesses & people. Every neighborhood in the city needs to consider it's walkability and how it can be improved. The city has so much to offer and it's a shame that people only see it out their car window.

If you want good Chinese, Red pepper. If you want perfectly shitty Chinese-American takeout, I love Chef Ho on Millbury St. And that’s not bullshit. I love Chef Ho. I grew up eating “Chinese” take out. It wasn’t until a decade or so ago that I realized that Chinese food and Chinese-American takeout were different things. I love Chinese food and will keep exploring it wherever I can. But sometimes I just want a dinner combo of Gen Gau with your choice of app on a huge bed of fried rice. Chef Ho does this and does it reliably well.

Also, I know it’s a lil out of the way, but Meiji in N Oxford makes some damn good food. I’ve only been twice but both times I left pleasantly surprised. Menu isn’t anything special. Standard Chinese-American plus sushi, but the food quality is very high.
