Village of Piedmont: The Rebirth

I was driving on Chandler Street yesterday, while heading to the Worcester World Cup games, I saw this house.

What's the story behind this house and the other properties that are being renovated?

Worcester World Cup: Ghana vs. Albania 8/13

The score was zero to zero at the end of the first half.

The second half is about to start!

Albania just scored on a penalty kick at 11:29 am. 1-0 Albania.

Worcester World Cup 2011: Iran vs. Guatemala

It's now halftime, and the score is 5-0 favoring the very athletic and ball-controlling Iranian team.

If team Iran plays this way for the rest of the tournament, they are going to be very hard to beat.

Here's a video clip of their 3rd goal.

Worcester World Cup: Family Fun

In the first game between Brazil vs. Egypt; Brazil won 6-1.

In the second game: USA vs. Ecuador. The USA is winning 3-0 with 3-minutes remaining.

Somebody's watching!

Due to my fellow bloggers, I've been paying more attention to the "traffic cams" in Worcester.

Well, I guess this means that all the folks that have the bad habit of "creeping" through crosswalks while sitting at red lights will receive a ticket in the mail? I sure hope so because I'm tired of seeing pedestrians getting clipped.

And, if the cameras just so happen to spot me dancing to Otis or some other Motown greats, that's alright. But if the City chooses to make some extra money by submitting the video to "America's Funniest Home Videos", please make sure my check is made payable to my legal name.

Thank you!

NY Post: Stock Market Hooker Cover

I saw this picture and immediately thought that the T&G, The Boston Globe and not even The Boston Herald would publish such a cover!

The New York Post WINS, in my opinion, for this cover!

Bringing down the.....

The Worcester Commons parking garage is almost fully demolished.

It's amazing to see a building that I frequented, beginning in the mid-90s, being demolished, and being prepared for an entirely new building, with a new purpose.

I just hope that the new City Square is all that and a bowl of chips.

Now, if the City could just secure a few anchor tenants, I'd feel alot better.
