At old O'Connor's, a menu of legal troubles and $82K in owed taxes | Exclusive

(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the building.) WORCESTER – A mortgage lender is suing the owners of the now-shuttered O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar, alleging, among other complaints, that they owe thousands in taxes to the city and are not doing enough to attract a buyer. The lawsuit is one of two being litigated against Kyle and Dennis Maxwell, the operators of Carlow Clove Inc., which owns the closed eatery at 1160 West Boylston St. The father and son duo took over O'Connor's in 2022 from Brendan and Claire O'Connor, who had operated the restaurant for more than 30 years . The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel. During a recent reporter visit, the restaurant appeared frozen in time, complete with signage advertising the week's specials. Only a portion of the black wooden sign that reads O'Connor's was out of place, having fallen and now resting against the entryway. "I've heard all sorts of

These were the most pro- and anti-marijuana towns, based on last week’s vote

Weston, a small, affluent town about 15 miles outside of Boston that has no marijuana dispensaries, was the most supportive of the measure. A ballot question that would have repealed the laws that make recreational marijuana legal in Massachusetts lost decisively on Election Day. Town-by-town results showed an overwhelming rejection across the state, with the measure coming up short in every municipality.

Then & Now: Moore & Company, 326 Chandler St., Worcester

From its warehouse on Jackson Street in Main South, Capitol Toy Distributors filled the pre-video game dreams of Worcester's youth. Shelves of board games, dolls, toy cars and other gotta-have items made it a go-to place for birthday and holiday shoppers. The business later added hardware and general merchandise. By the mid-1960s, the Feldman brothers, store owners, were looking for more space. They found a factory on Chandler Street, recently vacated by Moore-Kirk Laboratories. The pharmaceutical company had relocated to Connecticut after scrapping plans to move to a new industrial park at Plantation and Boylston streets. Brothers Edward, Louis and Philip opened a second wholesale warehouse at 326 Chandler St. on Nov. 4, 1965. "Same fabulous selection of factory fresh toys that has made our Jackson St. store the 'Talk of the Town,'" the brothers pitched in a newspaper advertisement. The Chandler Street location eventually became a busy spot for Capitol Toy Distributors. In 1967, a one-level wing was added to the three-floor wood factory building, the long-ago home of Trinity Cycle. With its familiar clown image on the front, the Chandler Street warehouse became a landmark. The business model focused on low prices, not fancy surroundings. Parents appreciated that

Kraft Group proposing to build data center campus in Sutton

SUTTON – A proposal to build multiple data centers on property off Boston Road and Providence Road will come before the Select Board on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a memo submitted by Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz. The campus would feature 10 buildings canvassing 250,000 square feet each, with the first two buildings opening in 2029 and another two opening each year until the project is complete in 2033, according to the proposal. The Unified Global Packaging Group and The Kraft Group, of which Unified is part, are behind the proposal, the memo states. The project would be built on part of Unified Global Packaging's Unified Parkway property . "At full build-out the campus would draw roughly 900 megawatts of power and represent more than $16 billion of private investment by the developer's estimate, several times the $2.8 billion in assessed value of all property in Sutton today," the memo reads. The Kraft Group – run by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his sons Jonathan and Daniel Kraft – is a group of privately held companies that also includes Worcester-based Rand-Whitney, which was previously owned by Jacob Hiatt, the father of Robert Kraft's late wife, Myra.
