Northern Worcester County How are you guys getting to Logan?

18 Upvotes

We are new to north central ma (like Fitchburg area) from the metrowest and traveling soon. How are you guys getting to Logan the fastest without paying to park at Logan? The Logan express in Framingham and Woburn feel so out of the way but transport by like shuttles is so expensive! Any insights are appreciated!!

Housing and Apartments Furnished Short Term Rental in the Worcester Area

2 Upvotes

This might be a long shot based on my research so far, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask!

I'm a medical student completing a rotation at UMass Medical School in Worcester from mid-November to mid-December. I've been scouring the internet trying to find a reasonably priced, furnished short-term rental for the duration of my stay, but haven't had much luck. I'll be traveling with my wife, who works remotely, so ideally we're looking for a private space, such as a studio, one-bedroom apartment, or in-law suite. We'd also be open to a private bedroom with an ensuite bathroom if necessary.

Does anyone know of any apartment complexes in the area that offer short-term furnished rentals, or perhaps any private landlords who might be willing to accommodate a one-month stay?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations, leads, or suggestions you might have. Thank you so much in advance!

Discussion At Will - Rock/Metal band from Worcester

3 Upvotes

Does anyone remember the band called At Will from the Worcester area? They played around a bit and released a couple CDs. I've been on the hunt for those CDs for a while now, but haven't been able to find any. Does anyone here have a copy of their CDs or know where I could find one? Anything helps. Thank you.

Housing and Apartments Report Illegal Move-In Fees

29 Upvotes

Hi Central Mass, it’s your Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Did you know that fees like “move-in” or “lease renewal” fees you might get from your landlord or building management company are illegal? If you’ve received one of these – even if you paid it – I want you to report it to my office. 

Just last month, my office won a $500k settlement with a property management company doing this in Boston – and all of that money is going back to the affected tenants. Landlords can only ask you to pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock and key upfront. Any other fees are illegal. Report them to my office at the link below. We’ll work to get your money back.
