I think it was the comments, not the post. Nice post, toxic comments.

Reply to One Black man says Worcester cops have stopped him more than 70 times by samueljbrewer1

Worcester police are actually scum lol. I asked for a cop’s name on a medical call for my friend, simply because he was helping my friend, and he got aggressive as shit so fast, talking about how he doesn’t need to and I’m lucky he even came to a medical call. Also been stopped and asked what I was doing for wearing a mask, during a pandemic.

Reply to comment by dr_k42 in 3 proposed downtown Worcester projects would add 400+ apartments, retail by moisheah

All of the projects sound like a parking nightmare...

  • 163 one- and two-bedroom apartments, below-ground garage offering 107 spaces
  • 145 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, the plans show that some of the current open space at the property would be preserved for use by residents.
  • 108 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, parking garage would include 62 parking spaces and a semi-automated, two-level car stacking system

Reply to Moving in feb. by Even_Dragonfruit3387

Stay away from any property managed by micozzi inc. they’re pretty much the reason I stopped renting. Like firefighters can’t turn off their private alarm systems and management can’t be bothered so alarms stay on in winter on a weekend for 2 hrs. Guests can’t bring a dog. Marijuana is reported, and they constantly let non maintenance strangers in for this/that. Office Jennifer is Rude as heck on the phone. She’s probably gone now though but I have a feeling complaints always sour the office and they act like slumlords

This is not unlike a bar being a "NY Giants bar." Other sports fan are welcome but you should understand that we cheer for Giants here and giants fans do not have to feel uncomfortable coming here. Pats fans are welcome and almost every other bar you would walk into caters to the Pats fans anyway so it's not a big deal that they don't get to dominate this one bar.

I understand why you would say what you said but try to think of this from the perspective of someone who hasn't historically felt welcome or invited in those mainstream establishments that most clientele feel comfortable at.

Reply to Coming to Worcester in May. Best places to meet people. by Working-Efficiency44

Uber is reliable and it costs only $7-$10 to get anywhere! Lyft, too. Come to scruffy murphy, we need this place to be more cool. But realistically, the good places might be.... um... the mercantile, lock 50, and... um... wan wang for chinese food, and... nu cafe is a good place to bring a laptop and drink coffee, and also... pho dakao is some badass vietnamese food and you should go to the boynton and also any place on shrewsbery st. Welcome to worcester!

They’ve been doing it for decades.

I got pulled over on Mill St. in the early 2000’s - presumably because I, a white female, had several black males in my car. The cops claimed it was because a car similar to mine had been reported stolen in the area (yeah, ok, whatever).

Even after I produced my license and registration proving it to be my car they still made my friends get out and patted them down and proceeded to intimidate them for no reason. They told me to remain in the car. I was pissed but my friends told me they were quite used to it. I really wish smart phones had been a thing at that time.

It was daylight, mid-summer and I was driving them home from work.
