My WuhStah life experience it from too long ago to have an opinion about today’s Worcester. Spag Borgatti was still alive and Spag’s didn’t take credit cards.
Oh, I know ... wasn't being too serious in my response.

I'm just old enough to fondly remember Spags. Watching those canisters of cash vacuum tube up to the main office on a busy Saturday was quite the spectacle.

1987-1990 Worcester was a real Trumpian-level ****ehole. I imagine the commuter rail and the 495 belt jobs explosion just east of there have changed it some. I had a brief stint at Data General between tech startups. There wasn't all that much on 495 at that point. A DEC plant that made the DEC 10/20 mainframes was the biggest employer. I spent all my time in Boston, not Worcester.

Yeah there might be some differences from 1990. Do you still wear ripped jeans and listen to Nirvana? Or Public Enemy?

I remember Spags. It smelled like rubber.

Nah. I was still wearing brights in 1990. I owned this sweater and those skis. In 1990, I was probably listening to B-52s Love Shack and U2. Madonna Vogue was the overplayed song you couldn't escape. I have Nirvana on my iPhone put I wasn't listening to that when it came out in 1991.
