Reply to Best Walmart and Target? by tinymsv
The Walmart in Leicester is huge, has groceries and is usually not too busy with it being in a small town.

Reply to Where to buy a suit in Worcester? by Anekdotin
I know someone already said it, but I second Kohls, especially if you already know your sizes. I have purchased suits from a variety of places and honestly as far as bang for your buck kohls is great. I recently got two jackets and three pairs of pants there for about $400 or so. Certainly not cheap, but the quality is good and the prices are reasonable. I went to the one at Blackstone personally, but I am guessing the one off Lincoln Street would be similar.

One catch I’ve seen is the lower rates are temporary. So you’re saving .5 per kilowatt for a year and then the rates hike up to match or exceed national grid. This is from reading about others experiences not mine. So take it how you will but certainly read the fine print and ask the provider about rate increases.

Former medic in Worcester. Many more stabbings and assaults than gunshots in Worcester. At least when I was there.

Not Worcester, but Indochino in Natick Mall has been great for me. They will fit a suit to you and you can customize it to your liking. I paid under $400

I've seen this place mentioned in other threads and my MIL recently switched and all it took was a phone call:
https://www.masspowerchoice.com/worcester
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.

Every city that installs shotspotter sees a drop in shootings and a rise in stabbings.

Do you get withdrawals if you don’t drink? If you have private insurance you should be able to get into a detox if you need it that’s better than Queen Street.
I’d echo what people are saying about going to an AA meeting. AA didn’t get me sober but I learned a lot from it, and most importantly there’s people that have been in your position before and would love to help you however they can.

My town did. It's about 50% of what National Grid charges for power. Not for transmission. National Grid owns the poles and wires so their charge is basically fixed and there's nothing that can be done about it.
But the power provider can be changed at will.

This, buy decent sizes and get them tailored. Probably cheaper than a suit shop

You might be surprised at how AA deals with the concept of a higher power. I am very non-religious and it was a turn off for me as well, but if you even listen to the founders early explanations of the concept, it may start to make more sense to you and be easier to swallow. Good luck friend!

someone got shot approximately 100 feet from the tape in that photo a few months back. millbury street is a disaster area and FEMA really should take over administration of most of this town.

Are there every any shootings in Worcester? Seems like it’s predominantly stabbings.

go to an "open" AA meeting, sit int he back, dont go there with alcohol on your breath, make friends after, just be respectful and listen to some stories....keep in mind every AA meeting is run differently and have a different focus.....learn what it's all about...try a VARIETY of diff meetings in different locations and towns too for instance I found in Worcester some hard core heavy drug users but in Oxford (sunday) more middle class types who discussed more things like pill addiction etc

I hated it, but AA was the only thing that worked for me. It will probably not help your smoking issues.
I think that most programs will hold AA style group meetings. Don't be discouraged by the religious/cult atmosphere. After about 3 years I left AA and have been sober over 15 years.
Makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you and alcohol has become more than just a friend.
I still miss it Knowing that diving or slo mo falling back into it will have the same consequences - LOSS on a massive scale.

Second this. Perfect Fit Tailoring. Real old school place. My husband and his groomsmen got custom made suits there for $230 each but there are lower price options there as well.

That's bizarre. I mean good for him her whatever, doing something to show how they felt inside, but pretty unexpected given the stint on conservative talk radio
