Dale Dorman

When I went to Boston College, when of my favorite DJ's was Dale Dorman, I use to go see him whenever he had a live radio broadcast down around BU. Remember once he had a great promotion for a group called Rubber Rodeo.



Actually think I read somewhere that he passed away a couple years ago.   Second was Sunny Joe White, who made an appearance in a movie, but forgot the name in the 80's .  Dale would always start his Saturday show with a song "Wish Upon a Star?".

GoLocal Comments!!

Here is the best part of GoLocalWorcester--the comments!!    First off you do not see many, but when you do you actually see a name .  Read Clayton Williamson story about why photo id's to vote is a good idea then you see real live names on the bottom.

You see GoLocalWorcester requires you to log in to make comments!!!  This in completely unlike the Telegram.   This will discourage cyber bullies like the Count from posting comments anonymously then running and hiding..    Cyber bullies must be p---------. 

I was thinking about the Count the other day, wonder if he will ever let the world know who his "friend" was that actually writing the blog (StuckInCow) that he was merely administrating.

Bull Mansion

Old news, but this was in newspaper the other day.   Sold to new England Dream Center the other day.    Good for NE Dream Ctr , but another loss for the city of Worcester.    Taxes were 25,000 per year

Telegram story on Memorial

My god where do you start???  Telegram story:

•  a quarter of a million dollars in legal fees?  
• group's treasurer put said contributions were at $850,000 but upon further review said they were actually $1,700,000.    Gee I was only off by $850,000!!!
• Mr Moschos is comfortable with the spending?  He may be the only one in Worcester.
• a Boston designer...  We could not find anyone local...  
• All Pro Productions--isn't that owned by Fred Smerlas?
• construction could begin in 2014.  Emphasis on could.

We all know this is never going to get built.    Even this one amazes me.   What a shame!!    

60 Providence Street

Telegram Link    Here is a small part --THANKS JAHN

The goal: Gangs have no place in our city.
The reality: They’ve got 60 Providence St., for one.
That three-story building has six apartments, and over the last two years has had 97 visits by police.

Common Ground Link

60 Providence Street - This 6 unit limited equity co-op was developed in collaboration with Oak Hill Community Development Corporation, St. Vincent's Hospital, and Preservation Worcester. Rehab and historic preservation work on the three and four bedroom apartments were completed at the end of 1992. In 2007 WCG-CDC sold this property with affordability covenants.

Let me get this right

• In the early 90's you get all sorts of grant monies to fix a building
• As soon as they can, bet you 15 years, in 2007 they sell the building for 400K most likely all a gain since the grants do not have to be paid back
• Let me ask you do you think the neighborhood got a return on this investment?
• Better yet lets give them another 1,000,000 in grants to buy the property back, fix it and then sell it again in 15 years for a profit

Route 20 sewers

If we really want to make sure we get sewer lines run in this area, I have an idea.   Lets have Common Ground build a project and millions will be found to run sewer lines.

FIRST EDITION TODAY!!!!

Another rumor--Judy Tull has left Direct Air

Evidently the end of the Family Ties Prorgam aka "one last grab for cash" also may mean the end of Judy Tull.   Rumor has it Judy Tull, CEO of Direct Air, has left the company.   

Family Ties definately the last day?

Just got another e-mail that today is definately the last day? 

Market Basket to Diamond Chevrolet

Rumor is heating up again?

Direct Air Family Ties

Last week I got an e-mail that Direct Air was offering Family Ties for the last time.   Made me wonder why they would stop offering a program that they have always said has been a huge success.  Last week I got another e-mail that the program would be extended 48 hours.  Now today I get another e-mail it is being extended 48 more hours, note picture below. 

Keep in mind that none of these monies going towards the Family Ties program is put into esgrow like the actual purchase of tickets.    None of this makes sense?
