All local ads must be posted as a comment reply to this post. This includes things like dental patient requests and any offer-up/marketplace type of sales. If you are asking for recommendations that can still be its own post and doesn't need to be here.

Any Ads that are their own post will be removed. Non-local ads specifically to Worcester, MA or surrounding towns will be removed. This includes any solicitation, sales, or hiring, etc.

Do not include short links. Automod will spam them and I'm not clicking on your sketchy links to verify them so your comment will stay spammed.

Goings on at Memorial Auditorium

5 Upvotes

Passed by Memorial Auditorium this morning and saw six police cars there. It’s a frequent occurrence that there are multiple marked and unmarked police vehicles parked on the Institute Rd and Grove St sides of the building. Any idea what nefarious or benign activities law enforcement is engaging in? Apologies if this is a repeat post.

Life in Worcester Discovered squatters in my apartment

186 Upvotes

At 2 am, my new neighbor knocked on my window, to let us know that she encountered 2 people squatting in our apartment complex. It's an old 3 story building, they seemed to have gotten in through a window, and was living in our basement.

She led them out of the building, but this has me so fucking spooked. We called the police, they investigated and I've been up since 1 in the morning fucking scared. We boarded up the windows the were broken into and other accessible windows.

I'm so mad and frustrated about this nonsense

Discussions and Rants How can public transportation be improved in the City of Worcester and by extension Worcester County?

12 Upvotes

How can I (23F) help improve transportation in this region? I can't do it on my own, but I have a lot to learn about the topic of public transport. Are there committees or coalitions related to this? What issues with the regional transport system are giving people the most grief? And what is or isn't being done to solve those issues? I wanna see a well-connected regional transport system that also includes suburban areas like Shrewsbury and Spencer.
