The Oldest Outdoor Flea Market In Massachusetts Feels Like A Real-Life Treasure Hunt Adventure

There’s a small town in Massachusetts where the past shows up in person, sets up a tent, and dares you to walk away empty-handed. That town is Brimfield, and the Brimfield Antique Flea Markets are the kind of experience that turns perfectly reasonable people into obsessive treasure hunters who cancel weekend plans months in advance.

Worcester drafting new rules for bodywork spas, amid trafficking concern

WORCESTER – Nicholas Antanavica, the city's inspectional services commissioner, shared a number during the Monday, Nov. 9, Board of Health meeting that likely caused some in the room to take notice. He said an estimated 25 and 30 illegal bodywork businesses, on average, are operating in Worcester at any given time, adding that it's generally recognized that such businesses are sometimes associated with human trafficking. For that reason, Antanavica told the board, the city wants to develop regulations to make sure bodywork establishments are permitted and licensed, regularly inspected, and safe for customers. He shared draft regulations with the board on Nov. 9, adding that there are legitimate bodywork businesses in Worcester among the 50 to 75 that are believed to be operating in the city. "Without knowing the full extent, it's a serious issue everywhere," said Antanavica when asked after the meeting to assess the seriousness of human trafficking in Worcester. "We want to help make sure that it's not sustained in Worcester, and that's why we're doing [the regulations]." He told the Telegram & Gazette that his department has worked with police to conduct surveillance of some bodywork businesses, and he believes police may have taken action against

This Massachusetts Town Shows Why Affordable Retirement Isn’t Completely Out Of Reach

New fire station in Worcester reaches construction milestone

WORCESTER – Seven months after construction work formally began, and five months after a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony , the last steel beam was placed in the structure that will become the city's new South Division Fire Station. The project is about a year away from completion. A topping-off ceremony was held Monday, Nov. 9., at the site at Southbridge and Madison streets. "Today is a monumental milestone for the building of our South Division fire station," Assistant Fire Chief Adam J. Roche said. Draped with an American flag and topped off with a pine tree, a symbol of good luck, the steel beam was lifted up into the sky and set firmly in place by two construction workers several stories up. As it was secured in its final resting place, the crowd applauded. The South Division Fire Station will replace the current one at 180 Southbridge St., not far from the new one. The building will be two stories with a mostly brick façade and approximately 30,000 square feet of space. It will have six overhead doors, decontamination laundry facilities, a training tower, a dining and kitchen area, and a bunk room. The land at 25 Madison St. was once
