Reply to comment by mrch1ck3nn in is Southbridge as bad as everyone says? by apple-masher

Place is fucking awful. I’ve worked in sewer treatment plants before and Southbridge’s takes the (shit) cake for lack of odor control. I don’t understand how people that live around there aren’t rioting

Yeah it’s the warehouse complex down by edwards gas and the rotary.

From what I’ve heard that Amazon facility isn’t going to employ all that many people. It’s a robotic sorting facility, supposedly. But it’s not going to get spun up for another couple of years or so

I go to school in Worcester but live in Southbridge. Basically we don’t really care much about the smell anymore. We kinda just got used to it
