I used to work downtown for 8 years. I loved every second of it. I knew all the business up and down the lower part of main from city hall down to courthouse. It was a great place to walk during lunch- I was a city kid- so walking on my lunch never scared me. It was the place I grew up.

When the pandemic shut everything down- that was the last time I was able to really enjoy downtown and all the restaurants and little shops- mid town mall may have been abandoned in most stores- but it was still fun to walk through to remember earlier days when it was the place to go! There aren’t enough people to care about the city’s history- and all it’s accomplishments and successes- instead all That is focused on is crime and such- which is everywhere. But for some reason - this city has always gotten torn apart By its residents- more Likely that no one with influence or money to do something about preservation. Why remodel and save its history when you can just plow It over and pay lots of people lots of money to make it look like shit. Sorry- I just miss the beauty of Worcester- it’s there- it’s just long been forgotten.
