Shrewsbury Street Worcester Massachusetts to Massasoit Road Route 20 November Drive

Enjoy this relaxing November 2021 drive through Worcester, Massachusetts! We begin on East Central Street heading toward the southern end of Shrewsbury Street. We go all the way up Shrewsbury Street to the top, cut across Aitchison, then come back down Plantation Street to Franklin, on the other side of the railroad tracks and container yard.
Next we take a left on Suffolk, around to Wall, around to Branch, to Orient, then to Grafton Street at the rotary. We head down Grafton Street to Massasoit Street. We go all the way on Massasoit past the Blithewood Avenue Playground, past Broad Meadow Brook park, and out to Route 20 / Southwest Cutoff at the Millbury Line.
You'll get to see the amazing restaurants down Shrewsbury Street including two classic Worcester Lunch Car diners. Then a nice selection of traditional Worcester architecture with triple-decker homes.
Ask with any questions!

I moved here in 2019, I love watching your videos!!

[@worcestermainfo]

Thank you! Let me know if there's a neighborhood you think we should drive through.

[@ShepherdMinistry]

How do you like living there?

[@netkitten]

I love in Millbury; I know this route so well :)

[@worcestermainfo]

Millbury is a gorgeous town! I was just there today doing video of foliage :)

[@deniselanglois6193]

Loved your video I like where you say what streets u r on - I remember them all - thank you for a walk down memory lane

[@worcestermainfo]

This area is a maze so I thought the names might help!

[@markrichards6863]

It's sort of a dumpy neighborhood, but I used to love to go to the Wonder Bar and the Italian Kitchen when I was a kid. I does not look much different now.

[@briankelley7918]

Shrewsbury Street was my neighborhood back when it was all Italian.

[@worcestermainfo]

There are still quite a lot of Italians in that neighborhood, but it's also fair to say that many of my Italian friends who used to live there have now moved out elsewhere. It's much more eclectic now.

[@svenmartin840]

I sure glad I left. The last time I was stepped in that place was 2011. I will never go back again

[@worcestermainfo]

It has good and bad like any city. I enjoy the art scene here.

[@svenmartin840]

@@worcestermainfo I used to drive around there a lot. Used to be beautiful. The Worcester center used to be happening place. Then it went downhill after that

[@ShepherdMinistry]

@@svenmartin840what are some specifics as to why you dislike it?

[@samuelnatal3221]

I lived there for my childhood. But I had to get back to New York City because of the racism there. I know it’s changed now, but those people are still there. And their children and friends are not going to change.

[@worcestermainfo]

I think unfortunately there's racism everywhere. I also have a sense that it *is* changing over the decades, like sexism. There were just so many things which were hard-baked into American culture like the way people would react to a mixed-race couple, that have eased immensely. Absolutely our current world has a LOT of racism in it. Still, I think it's vastly better than it was in the 1960s.
