I am glad that people who live here are able to make money doing what they love even though people such as yourself do not appreciate it.

What part of the article revolted you so?

I think what the author it trying to get at, is despite business booming for some, especially the newer businesses that inevitably attract crowds, others aren’t faring so well.

Heavy emphasis on the ‘I think’ part, because the article doesn’t delve nearly deep enough into what they are trying to say, if at all, and so ends up saying nothing, really.

Maybe it’s just me, but this feels like it was dropped on someone’s desk and told it needed to be typed up by the end of the day.

There is some good korean fried chicken in the Auburn mall called "Ghost Chicken" They share a booth with Captain Louies in the food court so it can be easy to miss.

Check out Seoul Kitchen in Westford if you don't mind the drive, it was opened by the previous owners of Sapparo. They ended up selling off Sapparo as they didn't want to run two restaurants at the same time. Food is very similar, but they do not have the table side BBQ at the newer location.

Better than it is now after the redesign due to that goddamned baseball stadium.

Worcester has almost ZERO fucking affordable housing...but we finally got a minor league baseball team. 5 year waiting list for subsidized housing, but we have the Woo Sox!

Bullshit priorities on display for everyone to see.

PS... Calling anything in Worcester "Woo-whatever" is cringe of the highest order.

I agree, we should take half the space currently allocated to car traffic and turn it into sidewalks.

Until then, however, we should live up to the "sidewalks are for pedestrians" idea. DPW should tow cars that are parked on the sidewalks, every block of road/street in the city should have sidewalks on both sides that are wide enough for two wheelchairs going in opposite directions to pass without leaving the sidewalk, and there should be strict limits on the number of curb cuts in commercial areas to ensure that people using the sidewalk are safe.

Putting on an urban marathon is expensive due to street closures, plus police and ambulance costs. The surrounding towns could easily support longer races, though. I've run Stu's run, a 30K that goes around the Wachusett Reservoir. It goes through West Boylston. The nearest half marathon I can think of is in Upton. Marathons are further away
