That chicken sandwich is a fucking steal though, I tell you what.

Why don't you just move to Alabama and live in a trailer? How is this more of an overreach than paying taxes to have roads or programs for kids so they don't shoot up the block after school?

Cafe Neo, right across Kelley Square, also just announced that their landlord is looking to push them out to build apartments there instead.

I know better than to blame Polar Park exclusively (COVID and inflation definitely factor in) but yeah it's definitely not helping.

The JCC and YMCA don’t take infants. First friends is great.

We go to Child health associates. They have two locations and are the only pediatricians associated with Boston Childrens in central MA (important if necessary, probably irrelevant if your child is healthy their entire life).

Take my update. Worcester planners haven't a clue.

Real, separated bike lanes and people respecting the stop lines? Infrastructure that looks safe to walk, bike, or even drive on? You're right, that bus sure as hell is not in Worcester. But I'm confused, because based on what people here say, it's impossible to build streets like this in crowded areas.

Yeah That area definitely seems to not be growing, hopefully when all the construction and demolition finishes on the surrounding land we get more stuff

I'll blame just waking up for my spelling mistakes haha

Try BT's fried chicken and bbq on park. Brisket is great, and on thursday's they do burnt ends!

The original sir Morgan's cove is a different project a little further down green away from Kelley square. The table talk pies one is to the left of smokestack as your facing it. One of the reasons I'm guessing smokestack won't be a restaurant in the future is because the parking lot to the left of their building belonged to table talk and was being taken from their use as part of the new development next to the ball field.

The Worcester one is absolutely terrible. The Sturbridge one is legit though.

Went there twice, and one time it was only for the chicken sandwich.

We have been going to Harding Pediatrics for 15 years. It’s not the most elegant office, but Dr Emma Hughes is an amazing thorough doctor, and the staff is very responsive as well.

Ok maybe I’ll have to, The menu for the worcester location isn’t very big so I wasn’t sure what the original location’s menu would be

Bucks, Hangover, the Dive, Rock Bar, now Smokestacks.

Thought the WooSox would help the area- seems to be doing the opposite.

After going to the one in Worcester- I'm all set. That place is a dump. Food is horrible.

Such a shame. That's the original Sir Morgan's Cove

Dive owner wanted out of that place for a while. Focused on Armsby.

I just started using JCC since September. We were previously at Goddard School in Auburn. Since the move we have had no issues or concerns with the JCC. Be aware that the daycare does require a membership, but it also has other perks like the pools, gym, spa, and exercise classes for parents, plus additional classes (swimming is one that we do). Plus we liked that once our kids are in elementary school they can go there for after school where they pick up right from some local schools.

The Dive Bar supposedly went because the lease went up after the WooSox came in. Is a lot of this other stuff unintended consequences of higher leases? Just guessing, but curious.

Seconding Chandler. They're like the doctor I had when I was a kid, not the corporate crap that dominates Worcester medicine.

Hahah their using wrta vans as a the dollar cabs on Flatbush now!?

That must have been tv edit! He calls him a "fucking liar" in the original. Lmao.

We use Chandler Pediatrics right on Chandler Street by I think it's June Street. They have been just wonderful.

While it might be “sad” they really weren’t that great. I ate an event they catered (wedding) and was blown away by the quality but the restaurant always let me down. The pulled pork was meh, the brisket often out or fatty, the pork ribs cold, the list goes on.
