I wonder if there's any chance that with the Spectrum contract expiring in October of next year, Worcester might possibly allow Verizon to connect to Spectrum's fiber optic network in downtown that's currently just for businesses.

FCC is still relying on older data, but if you look at fixed broadband and filter (in the settings) to only show Fiber you can see where the existing FIOS connections are in nearby towns. I would guess they are working their way in from existing coverage areas in Shrewsbury and Millbury: https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home

That's it! Wow, they are still there. Haven't been to Solomon Pond since Before Covid (BC), have to say I am surprised.
Though I recall they weren't exactly cheap either, so maybe that accounts for some of why they've stayed open.

Six dollar movies in a recliner and popcorn is like five bucks, plus it’s always empty and it’s surrounded by quick eats and fun bars!

Leominster also has recliners and it’s very very well priced, right off rt 2 next to a mall/restaurants. We used to go to the showcase but alas

Too bad Mill Stores shut down all their sites except the original.
If you strike out, just hit up Etsy. This sort of thing is widely available there. Once you search for an item, you can specify what shipping location you want and then narrow it to Massachusetts (just Worcester has minimal results). At least you're still supporting a small local business in that case.

/u/sammydee44 is correct - currently the only way is just to plug in your address and see what's available. My address shows as available, I'm in the area of the Flying Rhino between Shrewsbury St and Belmont St. I have to assume it's available for everyone in that area at least.

They don’t indicate where the zones are afaik, all they have is a site to type in your address and they will give you what’s available.

Previous discussions sounded like Webster Square area is on the early side of the rollout.

Good day! I am a real person who was taking part in this event. Just wanted more people to know about our events, since people are having lots of fun there!

I am not sure this will tell you where the new zones are for FiOS as there is no indication that the new zones are actively deployed and released yet (if they are not then this approach does not work). Do you know that it has?

I moved further away from Reading and this saddens me greatly. Probably not worth the extra time compared to Natick sadly

I wonder if they still require a huge access panel drilled into the side of your home? It looks like a huge zit.

"Things Remembered"....I haven't seen one or thought about one in a long time, but according to their website they are still open in Solomon Pond and Burlington. I haven't been there in years!

Go to Verizon website and type in your address. It will tell you what’s available. I can only access internet not Fios tv apparently

Wild-assed guess here, but do those mall stores still exist? Forget the name, but you would get things like this, or groomsmen's gifts, or graduation gifts there. There was one at one time in Solomon Pond and pretty sure Natick too.
They engraved everything. I think if you were nice to them they would even engrave your cat.
