Well sure, people drive like maniacs, which is awful. But I don't think that the potential for a head-on collision because someone decided to dump half a tree onto the street for the better part of a month is the best solution, as opposed to a speed bump

They have amazing burgers and fries

Agreed. But as a pedestrian, on streets without sidewalks, I hate having to walk right down the middle of the road during leaf season.

I second this

I am not a fan of most of our city council members, but yeah, it is almost certain that they grease their palms on the side because they're way underpaid for the demands of the job. City Council member in Worcester is considered a part time job, even though doing the job well takes more than full time hours, and their pay is not high enough to reflect the demands of the work. Until they have a full time paycheck that's enough to replace what they would otherwise earn as full time professionals in the private sector, they will seek bribes.

If you want clean government, you have to remove the temptation to seek money on the side. That starts with paying officials enough to make corruption unnecessary.

Agreed I’ve wanted to go there but just never happens

Raising taxes is a horrible idea with the cost of rent and inflation.

because cars go flying up my street at 10+mph over the speed limit and I don't feel at all bad about making them have to slow down.

When will they get with the times! Ppl demand better internet speeds over stupid cable tv. At this day and age cable tv is a waste of money and scam. It should be thrown in for free with an internet bundle or priced similarly to other subscription crap like Netflix or Hulu like $15 for cable tv.

They need to work on upload speeds. Cuz streaming really sucks and download speeds with multiple devices in the house

Yeah I don't use cable tv but of course have internet. Wondering if I should go still

I would think since most of Worcester's residential internet is using the same physical infrastructure as the Cable TV is, that this meeting would include internet access as well.

>Doesn't seem like a great sign for the Canal District that this place and the Hangover have closed back-to-back like this.

well, the Hangover sucked and that's not just my opinion but also the overwhelming sentiment on this sub. i've never even heard anyone talk about Buck's. sounds like the canal isn't going to miss them.

Thanks wanted to make sure hadn’t missed anything. I too prefer tasty but wifey is a dim sum fan

You are saying city officials have been bribed? If you are making an allegation like that, you are going to have to name names. You can't just say that and leave it hanging in the air.

How?

The license is about cable tv not internet.

It's almost as if 80% of restaurants close within 5 years or something...

Yep, go to Boston!

Yep tasty dumpling

Gary Rosen kept steering the conversation back to cable TV at the last one as though 80% of the calls weren't concerning municipal broadband. It was wildly frustrating and I'd imagine this'll go the same way.

They have been fine for me but the pricing is absurd.

I'd rather drive the extra 25 minutes to Chinatown personally. Chinese food is so inconsistent around here.

Oh dang; when I've been there it was the best Chinese food I've had outside Chinatown.

Work in Framingham and have given this place 3 tries- never consistent. Food is meh

Exit 134A off the Pike- take a left and you're in Chinatown in Boston. Sadly no dimsum in Worcester.
