If you're not in the wedding party and not expected to be in serious photos I'd see if you can get away with a sports coat and dress pants. Suits kind of suck if you're not going to wear it often because body shapes change so if you wear it infrequently it can become a one time $500-1000+ purchase for a thing that won't fit you the next time you need to put it on two years later.

Stay away from Cookies, horrible customer service and don't stand behind what they sell. Plus most of their flower options are stall over priced mids. I had a vendor basically telling them to replace a product, that they would be credited for it. Ross from what I gather refused... The vendor took care of me themselves... I'll note here is I've had returns at many other dispensaries as I buy to much weed, and I have never had an issue. See my post history for more details on why you should stay away from Cookies.

Good Chemistry, Mission, Mayflower and The vault is the way to go.

Botanist and clear sky get honorable mentions.

Resenate and Diem gets a note worthy. I don't frequent them often enough to have a better option, I haven't any issues the few times I've gone. Except some dry bud from Diem, but that's because it was patriot cares flower and packed months prior, I smoked it non the less lol

Buds is over priced now, and trueville is just expensively over priced.

Major bloom is great the couple times I've been there, it just has horrible parking in a really sketchy area. I may try their delivery service at some point.

And Sunnyside, is Sunnyside. A little expensive, but you can't go wrong typically. My go to for cheap edibles, those 100mg hexibars will smack you lol

The Walmart in Worcester is on the site of the old dump. Unfortunately it has retained a lot of the old traits of said dump . Smelly piles of refuse laying about in disarray everywhere no organization . . Giant seagulls guarding their territory with a fierceness only a starving lion could match. They should charge 5 bucks at the door and just let you pick through it .

> the forecast is that this store will have a ton of customers.

If the Oxford store is any kind of analogue, 'ton of customers' needs to be redefined. That store opens its doors with a line of people waiting every day. Not 5 or 6 folks--a line of people.

Any random summer Tuesday there, it's busier than any other market I have seen--even if it was Shaw's on the day before Thanksgiving, if 2 feet of snow was forecast, and it was the last place for 25 miles with milk, bread, and eggs.

Don't get me wrong, I still shop at the Oxford Market Basket. But it's taught me how crotchety, miserable, mumbling, old New England people are made.

[Which is why I smile at others, look both way before exiting an aisle, and make sure that I give the cashiers exactly zero guff.]

We used SunBug to have roof panels installed a number of years ago. They were recommended by some friends and were great.

We haven't paid an electric bill since and actually just received a Christmas card from them. Highly recommended.

They came out to take some measurements, look at our attic, review past electric bills and then discuss panel options and costs. They were very relaxed and helpful.

The install took 2 days and included a few posts to add support to the roof. The cost was around 15k.

We were able to take advantage of a federal credit, state credit and were able to get in on the Solar Renewable Energy Credit so each quarter we can sell a megawatt to an aggregator and get paid a few hundred dollars. This is in addition to the credit we've amassed due to producing more than we use, net metering is amazing.

Interest rates for solar loans were capped around 3% at the time but we were able to get 1.5% by calling a few banks.

Was there today and it was still a mess, especially in the cosmetics area. I don't really understand how there are empty shelves *and* employees stocking everywhere at the same time.
