Is it pronounced [wos - ta], like in UK?
That or Woo-ster.
But it’s genuinely not a huge deal if you mispronounce it, we’re not as rude about these things as people outside of Mass would like you to believe.
Just don’t do that Guy Fiery shit here or we’ll fucking bury you kid.
Locals say “Wistah”
I think the first vowel is more of a “uh” sound (like the ou in would, don’t know the IPA) but otherwise yes
I was expecting were-sess-ter.
You can politely fuck right off.
You’re welcome :)
When I was growing up we’d joke that Worcester was actually a nuclear testing site but you couldn’t tell the before and after.
It has gotten a bit better since.
There’s rumors that Worcester has electricity five consecutive days out of the week now.
I miss Old Kelley Square. Nothing like closing your eyes and hitting the gas and hope you dont sideswipe someone.
It’s a bit of a drive, but you can get a similar rush by drinking a handful of nips and YOLOing through the Newton Hardon Collider or the Fresh Pond Rotary after doing a clopen to your job that barely pays your rent.
I like your style Betty
I miss that city sometimes.
Well… mostly The Palladium, and Tammany Hall (is that even still there?)
Great pic!
