Oh man, I’d have placed a bet I’d never see FFSH pop up on Reddit. Good memories of the Espresso Bar, I remember somehow getting into shows there as a mohawked 13 year old - remember Eastcide?

Recycling is now via bag only. You can only purchases these bags at grocery, and they're $4 each.

"People in Worcester really seem to hate progress."
Truer words have never been said.

I don't know if it was the pandemic but there has been a definite shift in all sorts of businesses that serve the public face to face. I think there was a lot of damage done to the public psyche in terms of one's comfort levels in indoor spaces with other people. It has effected the number of people who patronize a business and that tends to drop off after a certain hour. Small businesses like cafes et al have expenses beyond their inventory and payroll like heat and lights and so on. A lot of small businesses also lease rather than own and that's a huge expense. Time was when a lot of small eateries in Worcester did big business Wednesday through Saturday. They made a killing after hours when the bars closed. It was like a secondary economy and they were a secondary social venue. There were diners in Worcester that were open 24 hrs six days a week and closed on Sundays. A night out at the clubs was like the main course and the diners were desert. It was so much fun. You don't even see that as much in big cities anymore. I remember the Coffee Kingdom on Pleasant St and through at least two generations it had a real Bohemian vibe not to mention great coffee. There was restaurant on Highland St on the corner of N Ashland St, it's a Thai place now and in my time went through many incarnations, all were awesome. Every one of those businesses catered to the after hours crowd. So much has changed.

Reply to comment by CoolAbdul in Moving to bell hill any info would help by Alexp223
I didn’t say it’s a lovely area, it’s definitely crustier and has higher crime rates than other parts of the city.
But Worcester as a whole is generally a very safe city, and Belmont Hill is a far cry from codman Sq. or the H-block in Boston.

Didn't mean to offend. It's like speaking a different language at this point. Which school are you attending? Possibly on campus?

There would probably be an increase in strokes with the number of people losing their shit over the expenditures and inconvenience.
People in Worcester really seem to hate progress.

Omg, and don’t you DARE think about putting it out at 6:30am because that’s the same as leaving it out all night.
We put ours out the night before and have never had an animal rip our bags open. Fuck them. (*I need to go knock on wood now because I’m sure I somehow just jinxed myself into a hefty fine)

OP, you can't make the best comment on your own post, too much.
