He will be booted in no time. As far as the vendors go I will be firing off a couple emails this weekend to City Councilors just so I can make my voice heard. My background: 33, grew up in Fall River, work in Canton Crystal and I purchased in Worcester because we wanted a city "feel" and city "nightlife options" without paying city prices. I will honestly say that factors such as good restaurants and quality drinking establishments were high on our list while house shopping and a big reason we chose to buy here. It seems we did not do the nest job of our homework and fact checking though. But we are living proof of a late 20's early 30's couple with no Worcester roots who CHOSE to live here because we think this city has so much potential and we want to be a part of that. The fact that a common sense plan regarding vendors cant be established boggles my mind and is not what I envisioned. I live in D4 and have met with Haller on a few occasions due to our building, she has been responsive to "lend an ear" but the overall followthru has left something to be desired...

Now could you please get on the ball with planning events in Worcester that draw primarily 21-35 year old women? I like this idea very much. Please have these events right in front of 50 Franklin St. Thanks. Like I said I agree the issue is small potatoes, I was just trying to give you some background as to where the ire is coming from.

It's a non-issue, we have a few dozen at most and there's not enough data beyond anecdotes to justify additional regulations. Beyond updates to health code and fee structure, not much.
