I just finished the vegan 508 - deeeelicious!!

We had the eggnog and roasted chestnut latte. The only downside was seating! Luckily we were able to grab a booth. The overall ambience really adds to the drinks and food

My friend tried the campfire latte it looked amazing

There is an ecological niche for a large canid predator in New England. With plenty of deer and other prey, wolves would do well here if we let them. Since we killed them all off, coyotes are gradually becoming more like wolves. Pretty cool evolutionary process playing out right before our eyes.

Coyotes belong here and don't cause problems for anybody.

Are those wolf/coyote mix? I’ve seen some that really looked like wolves, but I don’t think wolves are too common around here. They were definitely bigger than a coyote. I was terrified man 😂

Fishing spot I go to in Oxford/Auburn has some big ones around. I’ve been alone a few times and seen/heard them run by, sometimes scarily close. I think they might be a mix because a couple of them really looked like wolves 😳

Okay robot

Completely agree

East side got ‘em. Hear them just about every night. The video from CA with the kid getting snatched was frightening.

For folks who are concerned, not here to make fun of you, but seriously: They're everywhere, every night. For every one you see, there are a dozen you don't. Keep yourselves and your pets safe, but also know that they've always been here.

Yes. I'm on FiOS now. They're quickly rolling out to different streets. Watch for installation trucks and boxes in your area. I was told when the black cylinders were lifted off the ground to the cable lines that's when testing is done and live. It took about 4 days after that before Verizon website let me sign up.

Call or Better, if you see a Verizon truck installing, ask. The pole installer I spoke to was super nice and let me know a few areas they're expanding to. I also searched for expansion maps, but couldn't find anything.

What I do know... We're live here in Webster-Tatnuck sq area. I signed up the exact moment the website would allow me to (checked daily). The installer said he lived in Greendale area and they haven't set a schedule for line installation yet.

Hide ya cats inside!

Cats shouldn’t be outdoors anyways. And the coyote population controls the deer population which controls the tick population which controls tick-borne illnesses.

I’ll take that over some yuppie who can’t take care of their own pets complaining when wild animals behave like wild animals in the wild.

Remember when we all voted like, 15 or 20 years ago to ban trapping coyotes because it was mean and those furry little guys didn’t bother anybody? Remember when all the hunters said it’s a bad idea and your previous cats will all go missing?

This has been a big issue in the small towns surrounding Worcester for a decade at least. Welcome to the club.

Haven’t seen one in Worcester but I did see one on 495 driving back from a concert in Lowell

In Holden not far from the Worcester line here - - we have seen them crossing the (very busy) road late at night patrolling the neighborhood.

We have one that walks around during the day. I was about 8 feet from it - sick looking. Animal control does not do anything. Saw the news the other day 3 year old taken and beaten off by the father in California… makes you wonder.

North of West Boylston we got coydogs...and they get BIG.

Iirc it's because spectrum has exclusivity on being a cable provider. But I believe their current contract ends in 2023.

Interesting timing for FiOS. Wonder if they make a push to get Worcester to end exclusivity so Verizon can Compete with Charter. (Hopefully Verizon doesn't just bid for exclusivity. As much as I don't like Charter I still want competition)

At the end of the day I'd rather a municipal fiber network paid for by the city.

More toward paxton/airport and more towards West Boylston
