Canterbury auto is great, but they’re so busy it’s hard to get in there in a timely manner

Thank you!, That’s a good idea, but they’re never open past 4pm. I’m looking for something open evenings.

Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in Paving Private Streets In Worcester May Get Easier Under New Law by albalfa
There’s always a buyout option, but someone (read: property owners on the street) has to pay to get the road up to city street standards. Almost no one ever does it because that’s expensive (and in the case of dead end streets, those near the entrance don’t want to foot the bill for the benefit of those at the end of the street).

Reply to Diocese of Worcester: Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minor by Priest by MassInsider
They were going to transfer him before there were abuse allegations. As soon as those came to light they suspended him and investigated. This isn’t the same thing as past scandals and the Worcester Diocese has done a remarkable job at keeping children safe for the last two and a half decades.
That said, if this guy did it I hope they shoot him out of a canon into space.

Very authentic. I grew up with the children of the woman who owns it. They came over from South Korea 30 years ago. Good people.

Yeah, I hear that. I feel like it’s always one or two steps away from Worcester cutting loose.

I feel like the whole Worcester Renaissance thing is dead. Places closing up shop or moving out left and right.

Las Casas, who was known for hyperbole and exaggeration, didn’t arrive on Hispaniola until 1502, a full decade after the first voyage. He wasn’t explicitly against the Spanish treatment of the native population until after he participated in the horrific Spanish invasion of Cuba in 1513. His “A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies” wasn’t published until 1552, half a century after he arrived in the New World.
It’s also important to note that the Spaniards weren’t particularly bloodthirsty men for their time. The first people Columbus encountered were there because they were fleeing their homes after they had been invaded by a cannibalistic tribe of warriors.

“the benefits of the CPA — affordable housing, historical preservation and open space - are “nice to have.” But he identified other things in the city such as roads and sidewalk repairs that should be prioritized.”
That’s a false choice. CPA can’t be used for roads and bridges, but if we fund the CPA and use the funds for preservation and affordable housing, then there should be money not being spent on those things that can now be spent on roads and bridges.
The bottom line is this is a good thing to spend our money on. Lots of towns around us do it. That said, I don’t fault anyone for not trusting that the city would run it well, or for wanting to keep that $45 in their bank account.

It depends on how much your son needs, service-wise. Worcester tends to offer more in the way of services as they have the population to justify the cost.
I substitute taught in Shrewsbury when my own autistic son was young and in Worcester, and Worcester’s services blew Shrewsbury out of the water. I’ve heard the same for Westborough, and I would be surprised if Northborough and Holden were any different.
That said, if he doesn’t need much in the way of services I’d definitely advise that you look outside the city. I grew up in Westborough and it’s one of the top public school districts in the country.

A (very slight) tax increase where double the money paid in comes directly back to the city to be spent on parks, historical preservation, and affordable housing.

If you head west (and northwest) from Worcester prices tend to drop, but so does availability.
