I have also seen his signs around the Webster Square area, all bunched together on a few properties.

Another great show! No criticism for your inability to deliver any hard answers about the Mitra campaign. Some Worcester Illuminati shit at the top of the glass tower. I believe it used to be called The Plaza Club.

You'll recall George Russell asking, "What's in the trash?". Was it a request for a report from the City Manager? After careful consideration I guess the City Manager has finally reported back. It's "trash" that's in the trash. The PR is shameless.

Spot on, Chris. Bergman effectively opened the gates to chaos in the chamber with his resolution. Outro by the Dolls? You guys get some boomer / geezer cred.

Johnny Thunders and David Jo on the history channel. Highly appropriate.

Funny thing: I didn't get into punk from this era at all until well into my 30's, at which point I dove full force into everything I could find. Full credit to Anthony Bourdain for that among many cool things I know about.

I went to the Citizen/People’s Kitchen a couple of times, decent food and a really cool spot. It’s a shame what has become of that place — IMO, second only to the old Irish Times on the list of wasted opportunities in the city.

Hey, I got married at the Citizen wine bar’s atrium in 2012! We have pics of us behind bars with our wedding cake 😂 And on the water issue there, I can attest to issues. It was pouring on our wedding day, and the entire atrium filled with water. The management was useless but my brother in law managed to get all the water under control for when the wedding started. I was elsewhere and was only told about it afterward, thank god 😂 My friends really enjoyed the unlimited wine that night.

We were supposed to get married in a hot air balloon at the barre airport, but the rain. So we just had it at the reception. Good food! That little jail cell bar area was so fun.
