Not sure, we saw the commotion but turned off before getting to it.
It’s wild out there tonight…four cruisers, and an ambulance in Plumley Village this afternoon…something to do with three Special Ed buses…heard a girl yelling that someone bit her face…
Oh, and a car drove into Dragon Dynasty on Highland St…passed that before reaching Belmont.

We had one from Reeds put up last year. It’s a little more pricey than other companies and certainly a lot more than a DIY job, but we’ve been very happy with it. I had to ready the site myself but the actual build only took them maybe 4 or 5 hours.

I don't like it. It's where soccer moms and Karen's breed. It is basically like living in one giant HOA Neighborhood. The main street is meant to be quaint, but it limits businesses and advertising. Limits colors of homes in historic district. Traffic is a giant nightmare, there is no direct access to Holden from a highway. People don't let you cross the road. It is not pedestrian friendly. The cops are giant douchbags that harass anyone from out of town, ticket anyone that drives from out of town. They won't allow growth of the town and what is allowed are ugly mcmansions. It's an extremely white community that goes on and on about diversity, yet lives 10 miles from anything near it. There is NOTHING to do as a youth except hangout at the local Walgreens parking lot. Wachusett is overcrowded, underfunded and has some horrible teachers there. They also have a HUGE drug problem. Their domestic violence numbers are high. They have 1 grocery store in the whole town, retail businesses are sparse, shopping needs to be done elsewhere or online. They're snobby, rude and think their shit doesn't stink. It's the definition of WASP town. It costs an arm and a leg and 2 first born to live there because they wanna "preserve the integrity" of the town- basically keep it wealthy and white.
Holden sucks toilet water that they have to bring in from Worcester because they don't have enough of their own. Why someone would willingly live there astounds me daily. I will drive an extra 10 miles to avoid going near that cesspool of snobbery.
I call it the Natick of Central MA.

Holden is a shit hole. Everyone there is smelly. High crime. High poverty. Horrible infrastructure. Awful traffic. Roads are full of pot holes. Terrible education system. If you care about your life don’t move to that dump. Worcester is miles ahead of holden in every way.

Reply to comment by dpceee in Does anyone take the city bus and if so is there a fee to ride it? by LumpyTown4103
I love how the question was, “is there a fee to ride the bus,” and you respond with an anecdote about your experiences riding said bus without actually answering the question.

Highway access? That's a straight up lie.
Good roads / infrastructure is borderline lying as well.

It's a little hilarious to see someone pitch how cheap it is to live somewhere and then throw out 650k as the cost lmao.

At 10PM.
Like, I'm not saying shootings are fine to happen but like, for public safety's sake that's a pretty good time.

Def was mirroring you in the late 90s. When I wanted to get fancy smokes, probably after a paycheck, I’d head there for premium products. Was a nice walk from wpi too, even with the hookers and junkies pre gentrification of north main.

Are you selling a house there or something? There have been so many posts pushing Holden, it’s almost like they decided to start a tourism bureau or chamber of commerce or something.

Worcester is a very safe city overall, as far as cities go, so I hate to see an increase in shootings. I suspect there is a criminal element moving in as Boston becomes prohibitively expensive.

Call/email the school committee. They won’t know these things unless you tell them. Some of them are very responsive

Still free! I think they extended it again until June of 2023. I ride the 16 frequently to commute between Grafton Hill and downtown for work. Love it!
