I'll piggyback this, better infrastructure in general narrow the streets in the downtown, allow for more walking and curbside events.

Also I'd kill for a Mass Transit system that isnt a bus but it's not economical for Worcester

Fix 290

Don't know if paint counts as building but painting bus lanes on Main St from Webster Sq to at least Chandler, maybe all the way to highland st. That would be pretty cool.

I miss a certain local music spot that disappeared in the wake of a minor league stadium. I want it back.

As an alum- the campus has grown significantly but has maintained their reputation and I’ve had good luck hiring graduates to know their stuff still.

It is a hard school in so far as a higher than average burn out rate, you have plenty of room to fail. If you ask for help you will get it but they won’t chase you to make you get help.

Bicycle infrastructure.

More secure bike lanes, secure parking, better bike to bus and bike to rail.

Where’s the data showing more have opened up on that area than have closed?

It is a great school of you are the right student.

On and off ramps from the towns surrounding the city to any main highway as well as a direct road into the west side/tatnuck area. Cut down on secondary traffic in morning and night.

That airport road would've been a godsend for today's city. It's too bad the nixed it.

That's just categorically false and not backed by facts. More businesses have opened by far than been closed in that area.

And "congested the city" oh please there's some more traffic around game times in that area, with no impact on the other 98% of the city....

Nah, that's really more of a Shelbyville idea.

So far the stadium has shut down many local businesses and congested the city

Monorail

Transportation infrastructure. Right now cars are the best way to get around the city, and even driving around sucks ass.

A minor league baseball stadium. Oh wait, that would destroy local businesses

Very good college for engineering and a top name.

A couple high rises, not like the 5-7 story ones, but big ones for housing. Plus it makes a better skyline!

MELVIN UDALL: There's a bakery on the corner that'll be open soon. That way we're not screwy, but two people that like warm rolls.

I think most places in Worcester, aside from maybe some townie Irish bars, are pretty trans-friendly. For things that are exclusively trans, though, I'm not so sure. I think Electric Haze might have some trans nights.

Ralphs diner is trans friendly and a bar. They have really great bands play there. Its a really diverse crowd there and different nights have different events. They do poetry slams on mondays, open mic comedies on tuesdays, karaoke on Wednesdays, then thursdays changes up, sometimes metal shows, punk, Harleys drag show, fridays and saturdays also have all kinds of bands play there. Even if you arent interested in the shows upstairs, you can hang out downstairs or on the patio.

Check out Queer The Scene. The JMAC too

I agree but very often demolitions create bigger eyesores. Worcester was once home to many mills and factories that eventually were demolished. There are hundreds of acres of empty lots covered by crumbling concrete, weeds and debris in Worcester. There are some that have been rehabilitated, are clean but empty. The majority are forgotten and unfortunately many are brown fields and expensive to rehabilitate and with no advantage to do so they remain as they are. Downtown real estate in Worcester is not very desirable The Denholm building can't attract tenants, what would a vacant lot do?

Great bread but so overpriced

I can definitely tell you where not to go, and that is Sun N' Sound in Webster Square. Owner is a douche, horrible prices/bait-and-switch tactics. They are trash.

I guess I worded my initial post poorly lol. What I'm looking for is hangout spots by/for trans people to hang out with other trans people. Like a bar, club, that sort of thing. What I'm not looking for is support groups. We're both big foodies, we both play instruments and we're big theater people (mostly me)
