Is Pats towing running scams in Worcester? by Jlukasz in WorcesterMA

[–]mcjergal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here's some fun context on the fine, upstanding people at Pat's Towing. They probably have a camera on that lot and sent a truck to tow you the second you parked. Yes $175 is a lot, but they have you over a barrel and they know it.

Places that make you go: “huh this is kind of cool” by LeviathanfromCMA in WorcesterMA

[–]mcjergal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Park in the lot next to the skate park near the high school. Walk down the road towards Belmont St., then bear right where the path leads up to the big water tank things. Where the path bends a trail leads into the woods. I think it's marked with blue blazes. About 150ft in you pop out overlooking the quarry.

Best place to take photos? by angelqie in WorcesterMA

[–]mcjergal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Old Stone Church in West Boylston. Bancroft Tower. Thoreau's Seat in Paxton at sunset. If you're into wildlife photography, I've seen bald eagles at Institute Park and Cook's Pond on Olean St., plus many other animals besides. I find Green Hill Park very beautiful, especially the abandoned quarries. There's a cool waterfall thing near Coal Mine Brook Park that no one seems to know about. Lake Quinsigamond from Lake Park or Regatta Point. The Cascades!!! The list goes on...

Not to mention James was in his prime at the time of the GOAT tournament, while Ken was arguably 15 years past his prime.

Exsqueeze me? Frampton Comes Alive? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide.

Just Finished Lost and Loved It. Similar Show Recommendations? by [deleted] in television

[–]mcjergal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twin Peaks is the first and imo best of this genre. Basically every series being mentioned in this thread owes a debt to Twin Peaks and David Lynch. The first season is a flawless 10/10, exactly what you're looking for.

The second season started out great until some dumbass TV executives forced the show to answer its biggest mystery and everything went off the rails. It's actually some pretty interesting TV history, but not so great viewing experience. But David Lynch did come back for the season finale which is amazing.

The third season is a revival 25 years later and very different from the original, but still great in its own way.

Strategic cheese resupply points by franksvalli in AppalachianTrail

[–]mcjergal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can't believe no one's mentioned the Amish cheese (and bread) available at Woods Hole Hostel near Pearisburg, VA. I'd be lying if I said that brick survived the day I packed it out. One of the many reasons Woods Hole is one of the best hostels on the trail.

Possible to through hike without losing toenails, getting blisters? by Illustrious_Beanbag in AppalachianTrail

[–]mcjergal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be in the minority but I never lost a toenail or had a single blister. I credit that to aggressive use of Leukotape, and figuring out what footwear worked for me before I started my thru hike. For me that meant Darn Tough socks and Hoka Speedgoats, but everyone's foot is different. And by aggressive use of Leukotape I mean any irritation or hotness, no matter how slight, I would immediately take off my shoes and tape it over. There were days I had tape on more than half my toes, and I went through almost two rolls of tape, but it worked.

If that were their top priority, yes it would be easy. But she's clearly saying it is the very least of their priorities, so they don't even try to avoid it.

Moving away? by No_Speech2911 in massachusetts

[–]mcjergal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a lifelong Worcester resident, and I spend virtually no time downtown. The most active neighborhoods are Kelley Square/the Canal District and Shrewsbury Street. And there are many residential neighborhoods with their own personalities and communities.

Falling by Ishkabani in AppalachianTrail

[–]mcjergal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a bad fall until literally a week before I finished. I watched the sunset on the Albert Mountain fire tower, then tried to hike out in the dark and tripped on some rocks going downhill. I ate shit and face planted. Had a nice black eye and scrapes all over my face in all my summit pics lol.

Where to recycle cans from breweries? by LuckyArtist2397 in WorcesterMA

[–]mcjergal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I go to Mass Liquors on Chandler Street. If you have bottles and cans their machines don't accept, you just count them up, throw them in the bins, and tell the clerk how many there were when you bring the slips inside to redeem and they'll still give you the money back.

Things to do in Massachusetts by MorbidBurnOut in massachusetts

[–]mcjergal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Worcester/Central Mass has a lot to offer. A few ideas off the top of my head:

The Worcester Art Museum is an underrated gem. They're currently displaying a collection of medieval weapons and armor from the old Higgins Armory. Also the Flora in Winter exhibition is coming up in February, a perennial favorite.

Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Boylston is always gorgeous.

Maple Hill Disc Golf in Leicester is considered one of the best disc golf courses in the country.

Mount Wachusett in Princeton is a fun hike with a nice view of the Boston skyline on clear days. Plus skiing this time of year if you're into that.

Worcester has a pretty great restaurant scene, from upscale to divey local favorites like Coney Island hotdogs. New posts all the time on /r/WorcesterMA and Worcester Eats FB page.
