Let’s be honest. DeBoer just doesn’t have the same level of talent he did at Washington. (Kidding, also not kidding).

The Cultural Dev Division, Cultural Coalition and most of all the artists knocked this one out of the park! It’s so fun to discover these around the city. Glad DTM could provide the “canvas”.
The City's Cultural Development Division, in partnership with the Worcester Cultural Coalition and the Department of Transportation and Mobility, successfully completed and installed 37 new mini murals across the city.

Who was the professor you mentioned was too nervous to watch games during broadcast today, @BrockHuard ? It wasn’t Stan, was it?

I had a shortened #WeekWithoutDriving due to travel plans. After biking on Monday and riding the bus on Tuesday, I needed to use a vehicle on Wednesday both for work purposes and to run errands before heading out of town 1/3

It would have been impossible in the time I had to do everything I needed to without a car. The #WeekWithoutDriving challenge underscores how limiting and a predominantly single-mode transportation system can be, especially for those who don’t have the option to drive. 2/3

Trying the @therta bus for my commute today. I’ve commuted by bus regularly both in Worcester and prior to that Seattle, but it’s been a while, so let’s see how it goes. 1/3

Fare free service sure is convenient. No worry about having fare on a card, ticket or cash. Also appreciate the real-time bus tracker, which assured me that it hadn’t already passed by my stop (a serious impact if it happens, with only 50 minute frequency currently) (2/3).

Did my morning commute by bike this AM for the first time. How was it? Mostly pretty good! 1/3

Riding home had different challenges: a little more traffic, more uphill, bad sun angle (sunset), some door zone bike lane, and had to take the sidewalk in two areas. 4/5

I picked a route that I knew would have less traffic and calmer streets, which did add some hills and mileage. The drivers I did encounter were all courteous and kept a safe distance. Plus I was generally able to keep up with traffic on these slower streets 2/3
