Ice skating delays on the common… The funds have seemingly been allocated and I don’t skate, so it’s tough for me to get excited or angry over the lack of progress on the Worcester Common, seems more a case of inefficiencies between multiple government agencies. However, one statement from todays T&G article covering the issue left me rather confused…
City officials had been talking about looking into installing a temporary system to make and maintain ice so the skating oval could be used this winter, but nothing materialized.
Back when I was a kid they called that temporary system “winter”.

Let’s see if we can get Gabe to run a hose from his kitchen.
Only the City of Worcester could banish winter’s effects to committee wasteland. If only they could do that with the plowing budget….
All the skating is for the derelicts, drug dealers and pan handlers that hang out on Front street every day. I heard the city will open up a skate shoe bank, sort of like a food bank, only for skates. For the poor and immigrants from south American who really miss the feel of sliding on ice.
HA!
I keep expecting that someone is just going to flood the thing so it’ll freeze.
That’s… uh, awfully insightful, Williby.
So much for trying to frame the Tea Party movement as anything but race baiting nationalists.
