The city has been communicating parking bans only online for *decades*. My mother's car got towed in 2000 for parking overnight on Dean St. No notices, no tickets, nothing. We later discovered the winter parking ban was in effect. But how would someone know who hasn't had to deal with it before?

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a good store, but I'm still surprised by the hype. It's just a grocery store.

If there were one in Worcester, I'd like to try it out. No way I'm driving to Shrewsbury for groceries, though. It baffles me that people would drive 20 minutes to a grocery store unless they have to, but to each their own.

So market basket's entire thing is "more for your dollar." Item prices are set to the same at all of their stores so you know what you're getting from place to place. Their very good about being well stocked and having a mix of high quality and good value foods.

The main reason I can think of why they're in Shrewsbury and not Worcester is taxes and shrewsbury being a central location for Boroughs, Grafton, and Worcester. (So 200k in worcester but there's also about 200k in all of those other towns combined)

Many people in worcester are already driving 20 minutes North to Leominster or south to Oxford. So driving 10 minutes west is easy enough.

Edit: there are about 100k in those towns combined not 200k
