SUMMARY
=======
Worcester ( (listen) WUUS-tər) is a city in, and the county seat of, Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Named after Worcester, England, as of the 2010 Census the city's population was 181,045, making it the second most populous city in New England after Boston. Worcester is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Boston, 50 miles (80 km) east of Springfield and 40 miles (64 km) north of Providence. Due to its location in Central Massachusetts, Worcester is known as the Heart of the Commonwealth, thus, a heart is the official symbol of the city. However, the heart symbol may also have its provenance in lore that the Valentine's Day card, although not invented in the city, was mass-produced and popularized by Esther Howland who resided in Worcester.Worcester was considered its own distinct region apart from Boston until the 1970s. Since then, Boston's suburbs have been moving out further westward, especially after the construction of Interstate 495 and Interstate 290. The Worcester region now marks the western periphery of the Boston-Worcester-Providence (MA-RI-NH) U.S. Census Combined Statistical Area (CSA), or Greater Boston. The city features many examples of Victorian-era mill architecture.

Worcester: City Square Project, Part 26: Beginning of the End
Recorded May 28, 2018
It's hard to imagine, but after 8 years of covering the City Square Project (which became City Square II, then currently Mercantile Center), it's about to come to an end, but we're not done quite yet.
The hotel, new restaurant, and the full underground garage is finally done, and the apartments are close, and their garage is getting close to done as well.
The church is about to meet it's demise, as you can see they have literally buried parts of it, showing the end is near for it.
Not much left to report. Just tenants at this point, and maybe a physical update.
Can you believe it? It's almost over!

FutureCity/Springfield
On Friday, July 15, 2016 the Springfield Central Cultural District (SCCD) was one of three statewide districts to launch FutureCity/Massachusetts, a new approach to transforming cities that puts art, culture, and creativity at the center of redevelopment and revitalization. Futurecity/Mass was jointly funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Boston Foundation.
FutureCity/Springfield worked with Mayors, urban planners, and arts and business leaders in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield on key real estate projects in state-designated cultural districts in the three cities, targeting areas ready for development and job growth.
This is the first US effort to advance the strategies of Mark Davy and his London-based firm Futurecity, which has created more than 200 partnerships across the globe that reposition cultural assets from community amenities to marketplace drivers. With a focus on cultural placemaking projects as economic development strategies laid out by Futurecity, we are moving Springfield forward sustainably.

Church Christmas Cards Show Care to Prisoners
A simple message from a complete stranger may be the best gift an inmate will receive this Christmas. Members of United Methodist churches in Pennsylvania have written more than 8,000 cards to distribute in 10 correctional facilities, letting individuals know that they are not forgotten to the outside world. Prison ministry volunteers say incarcerated individuals often lose touch with their families. A handwritten note of caring can be a treasured gift of hope. “Sometimes it’s the only piece of mail that they get for years and years because their families disown them. That’s what we’re trying to do, make sure they know they’re loved,” says the Rev. Patrick Welch of Friendship United Methodist Church.

Amazing UFO sighting over Massachusetts USA 03/29/2016
MUFON - Case #75504
Long Description of Sighting Report
Driving towards the Village Commons in South Hadley, my friend and I could see two bright lights in the sky that kind of looked like head lights. They were just sitting in the same spot for a very long time. We could see them about a half a mile away. As we got towards the center of the village commons, it looked as though the ufo was now over us. The two lights that we had previously seen turned into three very bright lights. As we were freaking out I had climbed into the backseat of the car and stuck my head out the window. I could see the three very bright lights in a triangle shape and as I was looking at them, I could make out the circular shape of the craft. It looked very low and gigantic. Not long after it just sat above us and hovered, it started to move very fast and get far away. At this point, I needed to head home but my friend who witnessed it with me, continued to search for it after I left. She found it again on 202 in South Hadley and followed it all the way to Memorial Drive in Chicopee. She called me freaking out saying how close she was to it and that she was going to pul over to try and capture a picture. As soon as she parked, she said she was underneath it like we were before, and then the phone started to act up. I started to lose her and eventually our call dropped. She called me back freaking out telling me she captured pictures and a video. I strongly believe that I saw a ufo tonight. You can watch the video and decide for yourself whether or not you believe my story.
