Saw 6 airplanes flying in formation today over Worcester. Any idea why?

At first I thought it was for Opening Day for the Pats, but they were in Cincy today.

Newton Bassinet

Does anyone need a bassinet for their baby? Our daughter hasn’t even used it 10 times so we figured we would give it away. I can wash the sheet, disassemble it and meet you in Worcester to do the exchange. I would hate to just throw it away.

Any good vets around???

I have a two year old corgi and will be getting another in about a week. I am looking for any good veterinary clinics in/ around Worcester. I have been taking my two year old corgi to Petco and am not pleased with how little effort they put into making my already anxious dog comfortable before examining him then deeming him aggressive. (Absolutely loves on any stranger he lays eyes on naturally.) Then again…it’s Petco not sure what I really expected. Any recommendations?

Public piano - City Hall/Worc Common?

I just saw an old listing on Google about a public piano.

Is anyone familiar with this? Worcester Common is a huge space, so I'm curious if anyone has played at it.

The Melody Maker

This is a 2 for 1 and maybe the mods will delete this, but I just returned from the Melody Maker in Clinton and felt like making a post about it as a recommendation. Bit of a drive to Clinton, but worth a shot.

For the guitarists of Worcester, this place has a selection you won’t find at E&L or Union Music in Worcester proper; a good mix of vintage gear, refurbished guitars, second hand, and boutique (and battle tested Vox/Boss) pedals and amps. Tune ups, light repair and some other work is offered. It’s worth checking out.

For the coffee and bagel crowd, this place is worth a trip to go beyond the old stand bys you have. Decent coffee and the bagels are pretty good. The place is dog friendly, too! If you like the vibes of New Tradition, give this place a look. Staff is great and the owner, Zach, is a cool dude.

Full disclosure I caved and bought a guitar/case so be careful if you have an itchy trigger finger and lack impulse control.

Palladium Parking Ideas

I am not from the area but I will be heading there next month for a show. I scanned around on good a bit and found plenty of parking lots/garages that seem fine. I am wondering which are best value as well as which street parking locations are best. I scouted Eden St. and that appears to be free. No signage but I wanted to confirm with locals. That would be my preference however I would jump to a lot if it isn’t that much.

Affordable golf lessons?

I’ve been practicing all summer at the driving ranges and almost haven’t improved at all. Im finally ready to just pay for the lessons I thought I didn’t need.

Where would anyone recommend to go, that also happens to be affordable? I’m also 24 years old if that makes a difference.

Thank you

Out of state license for Alcohol Sales at Palladium

Basically what the title says — just wondering if the Palladium takes a valid out of state license for alcohol sales or if I need to bring a passport/birth certificate/whatever. Thanks!

Visiting Worcester area and need to find a hotel that will rent to a 20 year old

I'm going to be visiting the Worchester area next weekend and I need recommendations for a (hopefully fairly nice) hotel that doesn't have an age requirement of 21. The location isn't super important; anywhere within like two hours of Worcester/Boston is fine

If I can't find one it's not a huge problem; I can sleep in my car at a highway rest stop but would prefer not to (partially due to back problems)

Trans friendly martial arts classes in/near Worcester?

I’m looking to get into martial arts for fitness/self defense/social reasons. However I know that there is a huge stigma around trans women in sports, especially contact sports. And I’ve also heard from people in the martial arts scene that there are a lot of problems with hostility toward LGBT folk. Does anyone know of any dojos or classes that have been accepting and safe for trans people to be in?

And just to clarify, trans people in sports is a complicated topic that I don’t really have a solid opinion on. That being said, I’m not looking to really compete or anything. Even if there are problems with trans people being in competitions, that doesn’t mean I should be barred from the sport entirely.

Breakaway Worcester - Tickets

I have 2 tickets to the Breakaway festival in Worcester for both tonight and tomorrow, Sep 6th and 7th. I won’t be able to attend and I’m trying to get rid of the tickets. Selling them for less than I paid but you have to buy for both days, I cant split the tickets. I looked at the price as of today on the site and it would be about $100 cheaper if you were to buy mine. Message me if you’re interested.
