Headline stories:

  • New City Manager
  • ICP visits Worcester (see 508’s own “Interview with the Juggalo”)
  • There have been gang shootings, with drug arrests in response
  • 20 trucks have crashed into the low Canterbury Street railroad bridge this year
  • Our cable access station may be forced to a new channel
  • Eight 3000-pound gargoyles have gone missing
  • You better register to vote soon if you want to vote in November

    • Discussion: so we have a new permanent City Manager. Chris’s letter of resignation [PDF] in response.

    Letters: Jim May suggests we discuss “the ongoing expansion of the urban core from Kilby/Gardner to Osgood Bradley to WAM/Gateway; and how the “internationalism” of that area will force Worcester to contend with its parochialism.”

    Recommendations: Mike plugs the Hip Hip Her Race 3K supporting Abby’s House; will be going to see the Pirates of Penzance; liked Brian Goslow’s article on riding the bus; and is overjoyed that there’s going to be a local series of activities and screenings relating to the work of Alejandro Jodorowsky.
