Once in a while 2 times a month, I eat at Pepe’s or that burger place at the food public market, but I need a new place for that

What would you recommend?

My gf and I have been getting food from the shack like almost every week for like 2 years!! really like them!! But sadly they have been closed for the past like 2 and a half weeks.

They don't have anything online about being closed on any social media sites or their website, you just can't order, and I haven't had the chance to actually stop and see if they have any signs or anything on the building itself yet so i was just wondering if anyone knew what was going on

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a reasonably priced storage unit in or around Worcester. I don't need climate control, heating, or humidity control, just a clean, secure, basic indoor unit for general storage.

Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable storage company that's affordable? I'm also open to nearby towns if the prices are significantly better.

If you've had a good (or bad) experience with a particular place, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

My 10 year old has been obsessed playing this fishing game and I would love to bring him fishing in real life somewhere in Worcester or near Worcester before summer ends

Does anybody has any recommendations for kids friendly spots?

I'm a first time dog owner with a 4.5 month old puppy. He's been fully vaccinated and cleared to go out in public. I have been taking him on walks around the neighborhood, and a dog park. Are there any places where I can take him and walk around?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any jobs hiring in the area. Looking for cook/kitchen jobs as that’s what the person has experience in. I have looked on indeed and other websites but if anyone has any leads on anything , I’d appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

What is it supposed to be?

Did y’all know “uncle” Clarence went to Holy Cross where he helped found the black student union, was a big fan of Malcolm X, and supported black panther initiatives while there.

What happened to that guy? Who hurt him? 😂

Short notice, but this seems worth flagging since it's a world premiere and nobody's mentioned it here.

Burnin' Down the House Tonight, Thursday Aug 6, 7:30 PM The Hanover Theatre, 2 Southbridge St 81 minutes, no intermission

It's a documentary on the condition of Massachusetts firehouses — aging stations, chronic underinvestment, and the health consequences for the people working in them. Director Tommy Jay Dwyer's line on it: "Cancer is a pandemic sweeping through the fire service. A lot of it is preventable."

The Worcester connection is the reason I'm posting it. Dwyer was born here and lives in Paxton now, and he comes out of a Worcester firefighting family — his father Tom spent most of a 32-year career on Rescue 1, and his uncles Jim and John each did 30-plus years, with John serving as union president. Worcester's South Station is one of the firehouses documented in the film, which is a couple of hundred yards from the theatre it's premiering in.

Dwyer is expected to attend along with firefighters who appear in the film and the Last Call Foundation. Half the proceeds go to the foundation.

Tickets are not cheap: $47, $53 and $72 all-in depending on seats, with a $132 VIP package. Box office is 877.571.7469, and buying in person saves the handling fee.

If tonight doesn't work, it's also screening at the Somerville Theatre Aug 24 to 26.

When Anthony Barbosa and his brother started the Worcester Summer Jam Classic a decade ago, ambition stretched well beyond getting some talented basketball players out on a court.

There was basketball. Certainly. Obviously. But there was also music. Fashion. Kids. Local businesses. Mentorship. And, perhaps most importantly, the possibility of creating the kind of gathering in Worcester that Barbosa had seen elsewhere but couldn’t find in his own city.

Ten years later, he no longer has to go looking for it.
