"Saw this in the NYC subreddit (who said they saw it in the Detroit subreddit lol). Could be anything from transportation, parking, well kept secrets, great value deals, best times to do things, better ways of doing things, etc"
(I actually saw it on r/Boston)
You can get the city to down a tree on your property if it’s close enough to the sidewalk
Watch for limber houses in the summer and keep a dollar bill on ya.
The city is so small there’s never a reason to search for parking at an event. Street parking is free in lots of neighborhoods. Park your car a little closer then call an Uber.
Every Friday there’s a church on Illinois st that has free food for anyone who needs it.
There’s a ton of small hikeable areas in most neighborhoods. Take a walk.
City buses are free right now
Never let another car take a left when you’re turning left onto their street, apparently. And don’t forget to run every red light 3 seconds after it changes.
Wait I have more. The worcester art museum is free the first Saturday of the month
And the worcester historical museum is free for the whole month of February
The library has free and discount passes to lots of museums and attractions.
limber houses??
Need to get somewhere and the one way street is the wrong way? Just drive the wrong way down it and save some time.
Sign up for the text alerts so you know when trash/recycling is delayed and a parking ban is in effect.

Best way to describe it for you would be like, a Puerto Rican snow cone. People make them to sell.
Leave
Tell Jackson ridge to leave
In 2/3-deckers, you can talk to your neighbors through the broom closet - that tiny closet near the chimney in the kitchen usually near the stove. Bang on the pipes, wait for the opening door squeak from another floor, commence chat. Party line for peasants!
Growing up in crystal park damn I’m miss the limbers I forget the name but the milk ones hit ❤️
This is how you can tell someone grew up on the west side
Hilariously true. I see it nearly everyday!
When driving in Kelley Square: do not show fear. Do not stop, move at the pace of traffic. Make eye contact only to intimidate.
Uh…. How long has it been since you’ve been through Kelly Square?
This. You don’t want to be a silly goose putting your trash out early only to leave a free feast for the skunks and another Animalia riffraff.
Heads up on the trees, the city obviously won’t charge for cutting if it’s on Woo property, but they will do a haphazard job.
If no one’s stopping for you or giving you a break in traffic, just stick your car all the way out and send it
It’s the Worcester Special
Is this on the town website?

Don't be a snob and shop at Price Rite for your staples. I prefer Gold Star to Southbridge St. because the parking lot is much larger and there is less chance of being waylaid by someone
Yes, but also, they will cut a tree if it’s on your property but close enough to the sidewalk. Haphazard or not, I’d rather pay for a stump grinder than hiring someone to cut the tree.
Yellow light? Just get right on the ass of the car in front of you.
Edit: Also don't forget the race lanes! You see, if there's a lane split at an intersection, and everyone is waiting in one lane, it's because they know you're super important and need to use the race lane to cut them all off.
Agreed!! Aldi (on Lincoln St) is great too.
Yes! I call it the “Worcester block”
Totally agree about parking. In my experience, there is always free or at least metered parking nearby—you just gotta look around a bit.
Lights? In Kelley square?
It’s a light free peanut.
City* and I added the link above.
Technically no lights AT the peanut but the lights at the 290 ramps do seriously disrupt the peanut
And no left up Vernon anymore.
>a Puerto Rican snow cone
For some reason this sounds like a wrestling move or a sex position or something lol
Every red light means check your phone so only one car behind you gets the green light.
You can also drop Ethernet lines down them to save on internet if you have a friend upstairs.
36 hours. I stick to the rules I was given.
Perfect description!
I believe it’s the first Sunday of the month not Saturday
Make sure you have $1.25 for the toll.
Yes you may be right I did not double check
Upvoted a lot of these comments, I learned a couple things here!
And to you respect for the obscure Sandler reference, friend. I got it 😁
There is federal money set in place to plant new trees in the city after the Asian Longhorn Beetle infestation. Anyone can go to the city website and request a new tree planting:

Red lights are just green lights in disguise to some people these days.
I can confirm this one as valid, lol.
Move
Stay the fuck away from Kelly sq rotary
Tetasset Ridge/God’s Acre by the airport has some awesome trails and is just enough out of the way that there’s hardly anyone there. Great place for dog walking. Tons of other green space in Worcester as well
the city will down a tree on your property, but if the tree on your neighbor's property is dropping limbs on pedestrians and your pooping dog, the city will shrug at you and make you do all the research of figuring out how to contact the absentee slumlord that owns the tree.
then one day a storm throws the tree into the slumlord's building and suddenly everyone gives a shit.
honestly the lights are timed so idiotically that just sitting there makes you feel like a stooge.
10 pm, empty road, timed lights with fucking pedestrian crossing when there are no pedestrians. you bet your ass i'm blowing that light and the next 4 that are equally stupid. there needs to be way more flashing lights at night. why the fuck do we need to stop every 50 feet when the roads are empty?
don't worry, you won't get pulled over. the police won't do jack if they see you.
my mom used to spy on the downstairs neighbors by sticking a bath hose down the parlor stove exhaust pipe. extremely creepy how well you can hear everything that way.
just a heads up. your neighbors could be spying on you.
Lancaster to Irving is the best way to get from Grove St to the West Side.
Haha damn that’s next level! We were 4 generations of one family that went through our 2-decker over 60 years. We were never fancy enough for parlor stoves, but I’m sure my family would have figured out how to listen through there too. Privacy? Not in our household!
Also don't forget that that "no Left/right turn" is just a suggestion. Do whatever the F you want.
Meh...the biggest problem with Kelley Square nowadays is dodging the delivery drivers parkers half on the sidewalk/half in the lane of travel.... of course with no punishment for doing so.
I swear to fucking god all they need to do is post up a meter maid there once and that entire fucking problem would go away.
I've always wondered if they should have routed people coming from Vernon Hill around the rotary and remove that Left turn light onto 290.
Yes! That is so true.
Where are the lights in Kelley sq? There's one up to the highway but none on the square itself
I love this!!! I wonder if they’re going to be doing this next year
I heard if you drive up and down residential streets with a really loud car, people will become extremely attracted to you, and you will be drowning in friends and admirers.
Is this before or after you set off fireworks all night long in May?
