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?

Just the thought of Worcester and "fashion" made me puke out my ass.

Reply to comment by your_city_councilor in Down Lonely Street: Longtime businesses depart from Main Street downtown by HRJafael
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.

The Boston Marathon isn't really available to most runners, given the requirement to qualify or raise enough money. There are marathons in Lowell. Providence, Holyoke, Lincoln RI, Nashua, among others.

I think sneakerama has a group that runs 5k's like once a week maybe you can start there and start a community to organize for a larger race.

How is data privacy handled by this app? Is it covered by HIPAA? Is the data stored encrypted or no?

It's a great race. It's on a Sunday, so traffic is light to begin with and most of the roads aren't busy at all. It's a little congested as you approach the finish in Clinton, but there's good traffic control and it didn't bother me

Tell me more about Stu's. How bad is it with active traffic? I've always avoided running on country roads like that with no sidewalks but that loop sounds awesome.

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.

Very authentic. I grew up with the children of the woman who owns it. They came over from South Korea 30 years ago. Good people.

I think it stopped for COVID and no one has been motivated enough to start it back up

Great question! Participants are compensated $25 for each assessment visit they complete. There are 3 assessments in total, meaning a net pay of $75 if you participate :)

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.

Honestly this city is just not built for marathons. Even Boston with all it's craziness makes it work. Worcester just can't do it, the infrastructure is too fucked and the psycho drivers would kill us all before seeing their commute momentarily inconvenienced.

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
