Oof Havelock, that is some hill pain. Could also add a little loop up Manhattan Rd and loop around Rydal to get back to Chandler to really brutalize yourself.

Out of curiosity, do you typically need to wait at the light at Chandler and Mill? I was following along and expected you to run up Mill to get to Pleasant.

> So basically no 10 uninterrupted miles as asked

well yeah, to be pedantic I should have told them to go to a track or a highway since they're likely to hit a driveway wherever they go.

The Shore Dr 5k circle is the closest thing you're going to find that has sidewalks throughout with the least likelihood of needing to wait on a car.

This is the biggest perpendicular intersection where 90% of the time there will be no need to do more than look both ways.

Another 5k option would be the Newton Hill XC course.

Shore Dr -> Norton Dr -> West Boylston St -> Grove St -> Holden St -> Shore Dr is used as a 5k run. You could run that circle a few times with very limited breaks/waiting on traffic.

You could also extend that down to Salisbury, Highland, etc but you run into much busier streets where you'd be waiting on lights.

You could also stay on Grove St instead of taking Holden St and head into Holden turning at Main St/Shrewsbury St to head back into Worcester though there are definite breaks in the sidewalk.

Reply to WPS: Silent on Elementary Student Safety. by 7NerdAlert7

I wouldn't say that the Worcester PD has remained completely silent; they did state that they don't believe there's a threat to the public.

It is odd that there isn't much mention of the Wawecus Rd shooting, though I wouldn't expect much from the WPS aside from acknowledging it as it happened well outside of school hours.

The thing that I found most odd was the focus on QCC locking down and barely anything about Burncoat Prep which is closer to the original shooting. The telegram article was updated to mention that they were also locked down, but still the focus was on QCC. That's where I'd have expected some recognition by the WPS.

^^ This

Definitely don't want to get taken for a ride, but don't want to choose based on price alone.

I don't have anything recent so my estimates would be off. I'd say that depending on roof size, height, and angles all play a role in the cost which is where you might see variations online without getting someone to look at it.

I've had really good luck with Empire roofing, though they'd gotten quite busy pre-Covid so not sure how they are now.

Also had Tip Top and can't recommend them to anyone. Had the guy out to look at a specific issue; didn't need the roof replaced but was fine having it replaced to address this one issue. They came out, replaced the roof and the issue remained. Had the sales guy come out again to look at it and he said that we never spoke about that issue....the issue that was the sole purpose for having the roof done. There were other issues with that job but that's the part that sticks the most.
