Another guest post from Mike Benedetti.
Much has been written in the papers and on the internet about some City Councilors’ efforts to place new restrictions on Worcester’s street vendors.
Little has been heard from the vendors themselves, which is why Worcester Indymedia has produced an interview with 9 of them:
(Disclosure: I did the opening narration for [...]
There’s been a public art exhibit in Elm Park for the past few weeks. According to the Telegram & Gazette, one of the metal statues, Fern Cunningham’s “Massai Warrior Adorned,” was stolen.

The authorities think that “It was swiped from its pedestal sometime Saturday night or early Sunday morning,” but it was missing [...]
I (Zoback) am on vacation for a week (look for me at the nerd-paradise known as Comic Con!) so Daily Wuss will be a bit different next week. You can look forward to some guest bloggers giving their take on what’s up in Worcester. I’m sure it’ll be a welcome break from my usual load.
And [...]
Yesterday was the first day of filming for Worcester-based We Got The Beat, and we gotta say…we’re impressed. Daily Worcesteria spent late last night at Becker’s Leicester campus, watching the cast and crew film a few garage-band related scenes. We won’t give anything plot wise away, but things looked great. The Kaz Gamble music was [...]
Well, that didn’t take long.
This morning’s Telegram reports that the new garage will be open 5:30 am to 1 am “to allow commuters to catch the first train and to exit the garage after the last train, according to city Commissioner of Public Works Robert L. Moylan Jr.” That’s a quick change from yesterday’s report [...]

Surely the opportunities for [...]
Long-awaited news this morning that the Union Station garage is now open. So what that it didn’t happen last week, like we were told (last week). Monday is close enough.
But one thing struck us immediately:
“The garage will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight.”
Does this just mean you can only enter at those [...]
Money magazine just released their list of the top 100 small cities in America (doesn’t it seem like they release a different version of the same list every other week?) and big surprise………Worcester didn’t make the grade.
Actually, the only cities in Massachusetts that did make the top 100 are Brookline, Newton, and Waltham. And only [...]
It looks like the Shaarai Torah West synagogue on Pleasant Street is up for sale for $749,000. It would be the second Shaarai Torah building in the past several years to sell (after the one on Providence Street).
Two big announcements in one. And, totally unintentionally, they’re related.
First, next Thursday, July 17, we’re continuing our Turtle Boy Thursdays series with a great night of music. At least fifteen cover-free bands (and karaoke!) at no fewer than 11 clubs up and down Green Street, Water Street, Kelley Square, all the way to Nick’s on [...]
