(Posting on behalf of my brother) he’s looking for a room in the Worcester area with guys around his age. Let me know if you or anyone you know has a room!

Was there anything going on for Veterans Day this evening in the city? It looked like there were fire lanterns or something floating over Hope Cemetery around 6:15-ish.

I have an old photo that's faded and has some tears in it. I would like to get it retouched. I went to LB Wheaton but didn't like how it came out so I am looking for somewhere else.

I am looking for volunteer opportunities working with elementary aged children. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions in the Worcester, Rutland, Holden areas? TYIA

Are any of you who receive care at St. Vincent Hospital getting nervous about losing access through your Harvard Pilgrim or Tufts Health insurance?

I've been receiving notices from both St.V and from HP that the insurance companies and health provider cannot reach an agreement; it looks increasingly like HP and Tufts policy holders will lose access. I'm wondering: Who's at fault here? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that the insurance and hospital execs are all greedy SOBs, but I'm curious if anyone knows what the holdup is, or who's primarily responsible for it.

Looks well fed

Can you get a permit to have chickens or other livestock in Worcester? 🐔🐐🐴 If so, what’s the process?

Looking to buy tickets for someone for Christmas. I’ve only ever been with GA. Are the Reserved mezzanine or Right/Left upper deck worth it? What about the booths?

A follow up question, if I were to get one of the tickets that’s not GA, do you have to stay in the area you got tickets for or can you also wander around the GA area?

Hey there. My partner is a vet and we are looking to see if there are any local eateries/small businesses you know of that are offering discounts or free meals for vets today. We've seen the lists online but they only include popular chains. Thanks!

Looking for an esthetician to schedule regular facials, will travel outside of Worcester!

Anyone know when the strip club in mendon is opening?

I am trying to figure out where I can put a shed on my property and whether or not I have to pull permits. I called the city and never got a callback.

Does anyone know where I can get a reliable source on the subject? Yes I have looked at the city website and that god awful 300+ page pdf…the only thing that is clear is that sheds under 100 sq ft do not need a permit, but nothing in regards to any setbacks.

Does anyone know if it will be open tomorrow? My family and I wanted to check it out, but we couldn't today.

Thanks!

For those of you looking for something midweek, don’t forget the Pressure Drop returns to The Raven this Wednesday for a solid Reggae Recharge. As always - NO COVER!

You may want to avoid before Auburn Mall. Car smashed to guardrail on left side. State trooper and Good Samaritans on left side of West bound trying to help. Likely delays on both sides. Hoping all will be well.

Hi everybody just letting you know that the statutory ( or default ) speed limit for most roads in Worcester is 25 mph. Enforcement will begin in January. It's nice to have time to adjust. Here is the city's web page about it.

Does Worcester have a salumeria? i dont feel like going into boston. I want cold cuts like prosciutto mortadella mozzarella and some other meats you wont find at a normal grocery store

Got some old clothes that I'd love to donate to LGBTQIA+ folks in need. Not sure if there's any around here or anywhere in MA that people may know about? Appreciate your help with this!

EDIT: Thank you very much to those that gave me recommendations - I appreciate it!!

My son is preparing to hike 20 miles as a fundraiser for his Eagle Scout project. His project is building bridges at a conservation area just outside of Worcester in West Boylston. Aside from the bridges he also hopes to bring awareness to the area, known as Blueberry Hill. Not many people know about it. It’s a one mile loop through the woods that is perfect for a quick hike at lunch, after work, or for introducing a child to hiking. It is located at 355 Goodale St in West Boylston. There is a small parking lot. The bridges will cross a drainage ditch and an area that gets muddy in the spring.

A map can be found at

If you’d like to donate to his hiking fundraiser, he has a gofundme set up or you can stop by on November 23rd when he’ll be hiking the 20 miles.

I need to order a birthday cake for my Mom's 80th birthday. She does not want a traditional cake/sugary frosting cake. She would like a dense chocolate ganache kind of cake. Searching for bakeries in the area all I come up with are traditional cakes.

Any suggestions on where to get a chocolate ganache kind of cake that will be amazing for a woman turning 80?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for someone in the area who can install about 17 linear feet of cabinets for me. I have tons of prints that show exactly how they should be installed, I just did not have a pleasant experience talking the the company Lowe’s uses for installs so I’d like to go with someone local. If anyone knows someone please let me know!

We live in Shrewsbury and my son (15) is interested in taking guitar lessons. Prefers electric and he’s using one I bought a while back. I don’t play and not really sure if what’s out there. Any suggestions ? Typical 15 y/o ADHD so focus will be a key for him.

Does anyone know what Life Garden Cafe has that’s gluten free? I saw it mentioned online that they have a lot of options but can’t find a menu
