The issue with rollerblading is going downhill (with control) is very difficult

If you want some next level shit try Dan Simmons

Check out Lou Rocs for breakfast

Government (not trying to get into more detail for doxxing)

That's a fair point! I only know about my field and the pay is way lower here than in Boston.

This plus they need higher paying jobs overall. It's not a great system when so much of the city has to travel to Boston everyday just to make a buck. For people like me in my industry, there's lots of work we could do in Worcester but there's no point in working there when I can make triple by going to Boston.

We desperately need a real subway connection directly inside Logan like many other cities have. The silver line is a fucking disgrace and shouldn't even count as bus rapid transit as it literally gets stuck in traffic! It's a glorified taxi at that point.

Don't do the one on pleasant St near downtown....

I like V&C.

> >People overall seem to dislike seeing tax money spent on things that don't directly benefit them.

People are bad at realizing they live in a society. The fact is that if we didn't have things like CR then Massachusetts would have a much smaller tax base and people in towns like North Adams and Greenfield would not have the same access to state grants and funding for things that directly benefit them. Just because they don't realize it doesn't make it untrue.

Do you genuinely think that? How many workers does the CR move daily? What are the economic benefits generated by the commuter rail and how many businesses would be in another state if we didn't have it?

What is the list of communities that get benefits? Those that have a station? Those that have a station with 5 miles? 10 miles? How many people live in those communities?

Absolutely it's a shit solution but the commuter rail is pretty unwilling to make even the slightest improvements so... We just gotta work around it :/

I've been taking it on and off since 2013, it's ok but the legislature will never put in the money it needs to be better.

Couldn't you leave the bike at the commuter rail station? It does suck but those trains are so full I get why they don't allow them.

Ralphs is legit if you wanna visit a bar.

You could also swing by Worcester public market which doesnt have anything like what you requested (maybe the leather shop?) But is like one of the nice new things we have here.

No reason not to do it, you literally just save money.

We love the pizza there

I know it's not what you asked but growing up I was super surprised to find the public library had amazing manga/comic collections and that formed the basis of what I was into. Definitely recommend checking out those collections too especially if they have it in YA and adult, you can help curate what she's reading in the adult section, I bet most of it would be teen appropriate (I forget how WPL graphic novel section organized it).
