Outside of the Clark campus has always been a sketchy area. Over the last 20 or so years Clark has tried to expand its campus into those areas that were always dangerous. The experiment hasn’t worked as thought.It is lol
Know where i haven't gone back to since i moved away... Worcester
My in laws live in shrewsbury
I lived next to wstate... next to clark... next to Walmart off 146
Went out all the time in worcester... worked hundreds of service calls in the area.
Sorry if calling a shit city a shit city offends you.
I know there are several areas that aren't bad.
But by and large its not a good place to be.
I also can't fathom being upset at someone calling where i grew up shit... i grew up in a trash town on the south shore... i accept it Worcester was a step up over it... that doesn't mean Worcester isnt shit.
More recently the area near the Worcester Walmart, opposite side of the railroad tracks is sketchy too but when American Steel sat on the property of where Walmart sits, those neighborhoods were strong and hundreds of the men walked to and worked at American steel every day.
I don’t get the near Worcester State experience. There are a lot of good neighborhoods and beautiful houses around there, the vast majority being single family. I spent fours years commuting to Worcester State College (not University then).
I don’t know what the nature of your service calls were but maybe they brought you into more of the multi family neighborhoods where owner occupancy wasn’t what it was when I grew up on Grafton Hill and single parent households were rare and the poor and low income had full time jobs. A lot of that has changed since then but there are many neighborhoods that you would think you were in Shrewsbury.
