Memorial Day

I'm a little pissed at the fact that our very own President chooses to go on vacation and skip the Memorial Day Ceremonies in Arlington.


Doesn't anyone else care about this?

Providence Street Playground

I'm going to get right to the point here on the Providence Street Playground.

Why is it that that the men working on the playground all were from Ohio? Were there not any unemployed Worcester contractors looking for work at the time?

And, who is going to maintain the playground? The city?

How long before it falls into disrepair like all of the city pools did?

I'd love to see an update on this in a year or so.

You're Going To Use The Money For What?

SOLD for $17 million.

Mr. Manager,

Now that the Worcester Airport sale has finally gone through, how about taking some of that money and instead of wasting it on repairs to parks the city will not maintain. Put it where it will be most beneficial.

First of all, take the $2M proposed tax levy off of the tables.

Do you really think that the people of Worcester can afford to pay more taxes at a time when most are just barely getting by.

And how about all the city pools just waiting for an accident to happen. Why not use some of that money to level the buildings and fill in the pools. Make use of that land instead of just letting it go to waste.

Use your heads on this one. Put that money where it will actually help us out.

What do ya say to that? Mr. Manager.

Oh, and by the way. The city should have plenty of money now to get that ice rink put together that's been in the works for the last two years.

See you on the ice.

Great article about immigration.

Maybe the four horsemen on Worcester's City Council (Mayor Joe O’Brien, councilors Michael Germain, Frederick Rushton and Joffrey Smith) should read this. They may learn alot from it.

The Big Bad Bruins


Not so big and bad anymore.

I wonder how their first round of golf went today on this beautiful day.

Being a long time Boston sports fan, this really didn't upset me as much as I thought it would. I wouldn't say the same for the guy that was sitting next to me at the bar. He was pissed. It just about ruined the rest of the night for him.

Oh well, get used to it. This is Boston and Boston teams are suppose to let you down for at least most of your life. Look at the Red Sox. It took them 80 years to get where they are. So don't worry too much, you still have time. Unless your 80.

I do have to say that the Bruins loss ranks up there with the Yankees losing 4 straight to the Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship after being up 3 games to none. Bottom line. They choked, big time.

Hey, it was a good run. It would of been nice to play the Canadians but I guess it just wasn't in the cards this year.


There's always next year.

No Worcester Boycott Of Arizona

As reported on Daily Worcesteria's City Council Live blog

From what I can make of it, it looks like the vote to boycott never got to a vote.

What a relief. I was worried I'd never be able to get my Arizona Tea around here anymore.

There Is Hope For Worcester


Lets just hope the people that run the city read this same article in the Worcester Telegram this morning.
Time to put this city back on the map. Lets make it a city for the people and not a melting pot for the entitled.

Clive Is Spot On.........Again!

I just don't get how the Worcester School Committee is going to cut 54 teachers, and then they go and vote to create another layer of bureaucracy in the already tangled web that we call the Worcester Public School System.

I wonder whose relative will be hired for this job.

Read more about it in Clive McFarlane's article in the Worcester Telegram titled: Get sensible, don’t waste school money
