Every time there's an article about this, everyone conflates internet and cable services. This article/survey/discussion is about cable television only, not internet availability/service/options.

Survey results don't surprise me at all, though I don't see how bringing in another service will may a huge difference considering the contracts that Charter needs to sign with content providers to be able to carry them. Hence why you always see end-of-year commercials about "DirectTV will not longer be carrying TimeWarner channels" or things like that.

I can agree that their prices were getting outrageous which is why I dropped cable tv a few years ago.

typically I don't either, especially when 99% of them are the same "throw a bunch of iceberg and a sliced tomato in a clear clamshell" but the cripsy bomb salad is great.

out of curiosity do you know if they still offer the bomb salad? Been forever since I've been over there and don't see it listed on their online menu.

There's a 'message the mods' button on the right side of the page.

If you're parking TF Green; getting dropped off (depending on day/time) I prefer Logan

Yeah, it's a crazy intersection to begin without adding in emergency vehicles.

I don't have much knowledge of what happens when an emergency vehicle signals that they need to get through an intersection, but it's not like it flips immediately. My guess was more that maybe traffic on Plantation St (or vice-versa) had been waiting for the light and shortly after they received the green a request came in to change so it was only green for a couple of cars and those behind might not have looked or assumed it was still green if there was solar glare or something.

> Yesterday I was driving through the intersection of art 9 and plantation street and apparently we all had the green light at the same time because all of us went at once. It was terrifying. Has this ever happened to any of you at any big intersections in Worcester? Thank you.

Never recall it happening to me, but is it possible that you didn't see an emergency vehicle?

Wonder if it's also possible that a light changed was forced by an upcoming emergency vehicle shortly after a light change which wasn't noticed by people at that light.

What's a NY deli style chicken cutlet sub?

I used to love the chicken cutlet sub at Atlas though haven't gone since they got a new owner.

I'd try calling Wormtown to give you an estimate. I've had them come out a few times and prices were very reasonable.

They just knocked down the old Sylvan(?) learning building which I hope is done in plans to merge the two streets as I don't see how keeping both Brooks and Pullman intersections at Mountain St W is feasible with the added traffic.

Even merging those two, it's going to definitely have a large impact on the Mountain St W/Frontage Rd/Brooks intersection.

I've seen this place mentioned in other threads and my MIL recently switched and all it took was a phone call:

Reading through the site I don't really see a downside unless Nat Grid drops below the posted rates (in which case you seem to be easily able to switch back.)

The one thing I haven't seen yet is if all the other delivery fees will change, but from a kw/h view it should meet your criteria.

Could definitely fund something unique and fun at Crompton; or just stroll through a WalMart/TJMaxx/Homegoods.

Great list, thanks! Formatted below (alphabetical by town, Connecticut at the bottom)

I mean, 57 minutes is pretty ridiculous.

Do you mean Blessed Sacrament? I used to play there a long time ago; great court.

Smiley faced snoo with a valentine in one hand and a monkey wrench in the other

why would a human trafficking scheme be interested in every family and their kids, using a loose grasp of the English language, with vague details, with further details only to be revealed for those who directly message the user?

Probably attempting to catch views with the headline and trying to get more people interested in a 5G hotspot. While it does read as if there will be hardwired fiber connections, 70,000 homes and businesses across 7 towns/cities isn't a whole lot of coverage. Hopefully it will lead to additional buildouts over time, as I thought they were already done expanding.

geez; wonder if it was a one off or somehow related to the shooting near Institute Park (which I haven't seen anything about since the thread)

Yup; there’s a dunks right next door to the McDonalds too. Closest “Worcester” exit to Boston, and the easiest to get on/off of as well.

I think the Greendale YMCA has at least one, unless they got rid of it.

Pretty sure the crime here was leaving the car on the street unrepaired for over 2 months without re-inspecting.

Not sure what's oppressive about the safety checklist outside of a license plate lightbulb being out. I'd rather not share the road mid-February with someone on bald tires.

How long ago did you fail inspection? If it’s over 60 days I think it counts as an expired sticker and you’d get the same fine as an expired sticker.

That is a really good point that I didn't consider. It is kind of an asshole move to push the development of that park as something that would help usher more business into the area just to turn around and make a huge initiative to highlight the food that's available inside the park like Wonder Bar pizza, Coney Island, BT's.

Outside of the stationary offerings, they also have the 'Taste of Worcester' rotating restaurant offering different local restaurants the opportunity to provide their food. Which, on the surface seems like a decent opportunity for local restaurants but screws over the Canal District places that shouldn't need to pay more for the opportunity to be seen after being sold on more foot traffic.

I mean, if one of the reason's they can't stay open because they can't get people to work I'm not sure how you not only staff but pay for valets. And where are you going to park the cars that come for valet service?
