TL:DR

You’re really insufferable.

Good for you that you would go to a barber without checking which one. This person chose not to do that, and that is perfectly OK. I’m not answering your straw man questions about how I know there’s a serial killer.

I didn’t invent the word transphobic, go write a letter to Merrimack Webster and tell them all about your feelings.

LIf there’s a hundred men in the room and one of them is a serial killer, I’m going to avoid all 100 men. Again, you can judge people to keep yourself safe, and it’s done subconsciously every day. So, if there’s a hundred barbers in worcester and one of them is transphobic, wouldn’t you want to try and find out which one?

Yes, you can absolutely make judgements. That’s what people do. If I see a raccoon acting strange I’m going to make a judgment and assume it has rabies. But it could be possibly sick, but I’m using my life experiences to make a call to keep me safe. And I’ll apply that in all areas of my life. I’m not living in fear, and I’m living fully. It’s okay to be weary of people places or things based on lived experiences.

For you, but as a woman, I too fear being in spaces with all men. I’ve had bad lived experiences, but you may have not had, that affect my decisions today. Not everybody has had your life or your experiences, and view the world differently.

Some people hate trans people for existing. Have you seen the news lately?

If you’re in Grafton hill check out Quinsigamond state park. There’s an easy 1 mile loop walking path.

Also crow hill is local to Grafton hill for a near by hike

As for Thai, there’s so many you should try them all. We also have great Vietnamese restaurants here. Check out:

Yes, it’s tripled since 2020. There’s been a lot of personal reports lately on the ring app and the next door app.

Sounds excellent. I’ll tell you what, I’ll give you the $750 and you can even keep the car.

Idk man google it.

It doesn’t fully. Just a deterrent. Figured its better than nothing.

The interwebs state that a spray painted catalytic converter will be harder to sell because the spray paint indicates that stolen.

Yes you may be right I did not double check

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.

This is how you can tell someone grew up on the west side

Are you gonna go get it?

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

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

Worcester is different today than it was 10-20-30 years ago. And things will change in another 10-20-30 years also. I didn’t say it’s SUDDENLY going to start changing, I’ve seen the city take forever.

You’re the one with your head up your ass if you think everywhere stays the same for all time.

Also, the biggest plague on worcester is residents like you, people who shit on the city every chance they get they don’t do anything to change it, or even want to see it change. The worst thing about worcester are the morbid and gloomy attitudes from the residents.

Yes. I think there’s kickball and volleyball but I forget who puts it on

You say this like I wasn’t aware and haven’t lived in the city my whole life. Wether or not worcester will do it, is not the topic. I’m saying that all of the above, ticketing cars etc etc is what should be done along with rolling bins. There is no other way. And I’m saying it’s an attainable goal.

Will they do it? Probably not for another 10 years. Not sure why you have this “told you so” attitude. Most people here are talking about solutions, and nothing will be done unless we get loud about it.

Worcester is the second biggest city in New England. If other cities surrounding Boston: Somerville, Cambridge etc can have bins, so can we. Those cities are densely populated and lots of small roads, like worcester, that also have street parking. If other Dr fly populated cities can make it happen then it’s not out of reach here.

There’s an axe throwing place downtown. The worcester public market and green/water street have cute shops and plenty of food to choose from. The worcester historical society is free for the month of February and it’s a really cute place to spend an hour or two before going to get food. Lots of picture opportunities. There’s so many hiking trails to explore, check out the cascades if you want a romantic scene. Have a picnic in the car at Bancroft tower (it’s too cold to eat outside) tower hill botanical garden is really really nice to walk around. And I think there’s a couple of escape room kinda stuff.
