LOL at culture

Not cool. That's extremely bad taste.

Take that, culture!



toggletoggle post by ark at Mar 25,2010 10:08am
The Worcester History Museum was going to be moved there, along with a number of Blackstone Valley exhibits, visitor's center, etc.

They couldn't have burned down anything else, like a Chinese laundromat? What a depressing fucking shithole this city is.



toggletoggle post by BlackoutRick at Mar 25,2010 10:25am
Totally. Considering the fires of 99'(?), this is ridiculous.



toggletoggle post by Yeti at Mar 25,2010 10:31am
i figured it was arson, that building was a prime location after the street that used to connect Greenwood to the old 146 was closed. i blame Millbury, now THAT is a depressing fucking shithole.

think it was white power groups? I would think it was some kind of guy with interest of building a walmart there or something.



toggletoggle post by Yeti at Mar 25,2010 10:48am
funny you say that, there is a super Wal-Mart being built in the lot next to it.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Mar 25,2010 10:48am
They're actually building a Walmart supercenter a mile or so down the road on 146, but that's a different issue.
I'm sure it was a homeless guy that just wanted to start a fire.



toggletoggle post by Arson at Mar 25,2010 10:50am
I was there

theres a fire burning in my pants. which one of you sailors wants to put it out?

Funny, when I think of culture, the last thing I think of is Worcester.

worcester and worcester county have plenty of culture. you're just an anti-worcesterite.

The couple times I went to Worcester I never even saw another person walking around on the street, but I'm no expert on the place I suppose.



toggletoggle post by FuckIsMySignature at Mar 25,2010 5:01pm
ive lived here for most of my life. much like any city, there are some seedy areas but for the most part its very comfortable city.



toggletoggle post by Lamp  at Mar 25,2010 5:18pm
I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about the fact that there was no culture there because the place seems like a total ghost town.



toggletoggle post by FuckIsMySignature at Mar 25,2010 5:21pm edited Mar 25,2010 5:21pm
exactly its more comfortable that way. we have a "cultural district"... its called Lincoln Plaza and Main South. avoid if possible.



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 25,2010 5:24pm
Any city in MA is full of culture and/or history.

Hell, Brockton was world-known at one point. It was an epicenter for shoe production and had endless factory jobs. Now it's a shithole.
New Bedford was one of the richest cities in the world at one point. The whaling industry made it thrive. Fall River was well known for creating textiles.
MA, at one point, was indeed an epicenter for culture and wealth. Now it's a fucking shithole.



toggletoggle post by FuckIsMySignature at Mar 25,2010 5:41pm
thank you for that positive reinforcement jim.



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 25,2010 5:48pm
I'm not a fan of when people say ant given area lacks culture. MA was a very powerful and influential area at one point.
Before whiteman came, as well. The Blackstone natives in the valley were fearsome warriors with more courage than any fag posting in this board.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Mar 25,2010 5:52pm
Haha, thank you aril...Worcester is one of the first American cities, rivaling Boston at one point and for a while it was the most industrial city in the country. There's literally hundreds of factory buildings around here and some still active. Now it's more or less just a typical northeastern city with a relatively low crime rate and an unforgivable amount of spic churches.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Mar 25,2010 5:58pm
And yeah before that, the Nipmucs were at the center of a trade network stretching from the great lakes to the mid Atlantic. So do we, but you know.



toggletoggle post by FuckIsMySignature at Mar 25,2010 6:04pm
lol @ spic churches. dont forget the Nigerian 2nd Floor Office building churches that sing praises to the internet scam gods.



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 25,2010 6:15pm
it's hard to believe how powerful this area was at one point.

But if you've got a vivid imagination and are walking around in the old factory districts, you can picture the industrial revolution. This area was no joke. Jobs, wealth, influence. It's amazing what can happen in 150 years. That's what happens when you've got corruption, among other things.



toggletoggle post by FuckIsMySignature at Mar 25,2010 6:17pm edited Mar 25,2010 6:17pm
ya main street and downtown used to be a very affluent area before the tornado ripped it apart. same goes for Great Brook Valley. which is now stabville.

if i ever make it in the music world and somehow fall into large sums of money my first task will be the creation of GTA: Worcester. oh the glory.

toggletoggle post by Lamp  at Mar 25,2010 7:01pm
Well when I meant a lack of culture, I was talking specifically about now. I like all the cool old buildings in Worcester myself, just like all the cool old buildings in Providence or any other New England city I've been to. It certainly beats the majority of cities in the south where the historical district is about two blocks surrounded by another few blocks of upscale shopping, then surrounded by houses built in the last 15 years.

man, I lerve this city

Also, Lynn pwns all other industrial cities during the heydey.

shit burned to the ground twice too.




toggletoggle post by Yeti at Mar 26,2010 7:20am
Norton Company alone was an amazing site once upon a time. it was a self-sufficient town within the city. i love this shitty city, there are so many sections that don't even resemble a city. the Salisbury St. and Tatnuck Square area are really nice. the Cascade trails are awesome too.

i'd love to know what year this is, so much has changed. it's pre-2000, that's when St. Vincent's was built.

I work right near the building that burned down. It was crazy all day... cop cars, fire trucks, 146 exit blocked off, etc.

lol @ the Midtown Mall

Has anyone ever been in there? Seriously. I've lived in Worcester for almost 11 years, and I've only been there twice: once at 3am when I went to a friend's band room on the opposite side from the Darkwor/Zircon room, and once during the day when it was open. That place has plenty of culture. It's just plain scary.
