And … Worcester, we are doing it! Revitalizing our downtown!

Why, just look at the pretty grounds of the Mercantile Center (the old Worcester Galleria)! Yesterday, I saw flowers galore outside their building, across the street from City Hall. And their flowers cascaded, sprouted and bloomed all through our downtown, all the way to St. Vincent’s. Lovely!

The DCU Center could learn a few things from their across-the-way neighbor! The sparsely planted DCU trees don’t soften their big, harsh building. Don’t make it look inviting! And where are all the colors! No pretty flowers!!! Damn!!!!
