Found luggage

I thought I saw someone post about a bag left behind at Union Station, but I can’t find it.

Not sure if this is the bag in question, but figure it’s worth a shot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s at the Osgood Bradley building, corner of Grafton and Franklin, on the Grafton side.

Brew on the Grid to close

Management sent an email:

Due to the recent departure of Brew’s full-time manager and staffing shortages over the past several months, we’ve made the difficult decision to close Brew. We will explore options such as hiring new staff or partnering with a local café operator to reopen Brew at a later date. We will provide updates on our progress.

Worcester MA - Has anyone installed mini-splits in a triple decker through the Mass Save Heat Loan Program and pays utilities as the owner?

I own a three-family/triple decker home in Worcester, MA, and I’m looking into installing mini splits in all three units through the Mass Save Heat Loan program. Currently, each unit is heated by gas-on-gas stoves that run through the chimney stack, with tenants using space heaters in the bedrooms during winter. There’s no other heat source!

As the owner, I’m paying for all the utilities and will continue to do so, as I have contract workers staying in the units, so I’m concerned about how switching to mini splits might affect the electric bills. Has anyone else had a similar setup and made the switch to mini splits? If so:

  • Did your electric bill increase significantly?
  • Have you actually saved money after switching?
  • Were you able to control the mini split units remotely without any issues?
  • How easy was it to get the rebates through the Mass Save program?
  • Which brand of head units did you get?

I’d love to hear any personal experiences or advice on what to expect with this change. Thanks!

Crash on Endicott + Millbury St

Some pickup truck got struck scraping the side of a school bus, avoid Endicott entirely unless you want to be banging your head against the steering wheel in frustration. Praying the kids are all OK but thankfully it looked like a low speed crash and wasn't a t-bone

Worcester County Communities

My husband and I are considering a move to the Worcester area - either in Worcester proper or in one of the surrounding towns. We've spent time in Worcester but don't much about the neighboring towns. Do any of them have their own fun stuff going on, main streets, community events, etc.? Or are they all pretty sleepy?

Cheap campsites within a 90 minute drive?

I'm new to camping in the area, so I'm looking for a campground to try out in the coming weeks. I'm NOT looking for anything fancy (swimming pools, playgrounds, etc) as campgrounds with lots of amenities tend to be pretty pricey. Also looking for something closer to Worcester, preferably less than an hour and a half drive. Does anyone have a go-to spot they can recommend? Thanks!

Current recommendations for best sushi in Worcester? The most recent I can find from a search here is Miyazawa but that discussion was a year ago. Is Kenzo still around??

Looking for a not necessarily fancy but a high quality place, ideally someplace that has Omekaze. Fancy rolls are nice, but looking for something better. Miyazama looks interesting because of the BYOB. Many thanks.

Cheap bondo work

Anyone know of any people that do cheap body work? I have a few spots I need to bondo and repaint on my car. I have all the materials, just decided I want someone who knows what they’re doing to do it. Tried looking on FB marketplace. Not looking to spend big money, it’s a 1995 junker.

For 16 Days Mass State Police Said Nothing

The Mass State Police finally acknowledged Enrique Delgado-Garcia on Monday, posting pictures of his funeral, 16 days after his death.

This is not how they have handled other line of duty deaths. It is not a good sign.
