508 #12: Icy sidewalks

00001508 is a show about Worcester. This week, Mike is joined by Brendan Melican and Bruce Russell.

Brendan points out an interesting story about people avoiding jury duty in East Brookfield. The T&G website features odd comments on a photo about Shrewsbury’s menorah (related blog post: “It’s time for a ceasefire in the Christmas culture wars”), and a man who’s been in prison 30 years.

Mike reads the Worcester Local First brochure and the Coalition of United Students’ Distorientation Guide. He’s been leafleting for Vegan Outreach at the local colleges, and notes that WPI students have an attitude. Brendan recommends Rolling Stone’s article on factory pig farming.

Bruce notes that many sidewalks are still icy, and threatens to sue or destroy the city.
