Neighborhoods in Worcester

As Matt and I continue to try to find an apartment in Worcester we find the neighborhood to be one of the most difficult parts. We were warned once that the neighborhoods around WPI (matt's school) are very varied and it is impossible to know without seeing the neighborhood if it's the kind you'd want to live in.

Well, today Matt got a great quote that is both humorous and frightening about that lovely little moving difficulty. I just had to share it:

"...you have to be careful in some areas [of Worcester]. For example: Elm park is lovely, within 1 mile you can dine at a *5 star restaurant, attend a leading college, view mansions in the salsibury area, or get mugged, your car stolen, or buy crack from someone who can't even speak English. "

Fun, huh? So that's also to say any prayers about us finding a neighborhood to live in that is both nice and also not, uh, dangerous are greatly appreciated! :)

More to come as more happens...
