The rankings in that article are per capita. Total violent offenses puts Worcester at #3, behind Boston and Springfield.

I am so pissed at these assholes right now. It's been 20 days since they last picked up my trash. They have rescheduled my pickup day 4 times. I keep getting up at 5 to bring my trash to the curb, then they don't show up and I drag it back to the house at the end of the day. My neighbor asked me if I wasn't paying my garbage bill, it's embarrassing!
They will give you credit off your bill if you complain, so that's nice at least.
I suspect with the recent spike in covid and the flu and seasonal colds they really do have a driver shortage. Still, this is totally unacceptable.
I'm switching as soon as I do the research to find a suitable alternative.

Worcester was #10 in Massachusetts last year in terms of violent crime rate (not too bad considering we are the 2nd largest city): https://thisweekinworcester.com/fbi-2021-most-dangerous-cities-in-mass/

You just tell them you want the cheapest option that looks okay with your home.
You might not even need a new door, you might just need your equipment replaced. Depends how bad it is and I can't tell from the one photo.
How is the frame around the door too?

Thank you
How much did the new door cost ?
Is the new door request simply , I need a new garage door ? Or did you have to choose between multiple doors and specs ?

I just had a new garage door system installed by Landmark Door out of Rutland. They definitely service Worcester. Price was very reasonable and the response was quick. Give them a call

Nancy Changs had one but not sure if they do anymore. Wasn't a fan of it but others love it.
There's also Imperial Buffet on rt-9 in Shrewsbury. Not limited to Chinese, but they do offer some Chinese dishes.

Did you even read this comment before wholesale disagreeing with it?? He went on to mention more secure bike storage in the same exact sentence you're responding to, but you conveniently ignored that piece

Worcester police investigate shooting on Burncoat Street Mike Elfland Telegram & Gazette
WORCESTER - Police are investigating a shooting on Burncoat Street Monday morning.
One person is being treated for gunshot wounds, police said.
The shooting, at 480 Burncoat St., was reported about 8:40 a.m.
Schools in the area, including Quinsigamond Community College, were put on lockdown for more than an hour after the shooting.
The college, on West Boylston Street, eventually announced that all day classes were canceled.
At midmorning, yellow police tape bordered the single-family house at 480 Burncoat St. Police officers kept watch on the property.
"At this time, we do not believe there is a threat to the public," police wrote on social media.

Lockdown lifted. Campus is now open only for services. Classes are still cancelled.

I don't live in Worcester. A lot of the immediately surrounding towns don't have public trash.
