WORCESTER – In our latest daily feature, ThisWeekinWorcester.com will explore five important items and stories that Worcester and Central Massachusetts residents should keep a close eye on.
These five things can cover a whole range of subjects and issues that we feel are pertinent to understanding what’s going on in the City and the cities and towns surrounding Worcester.
In today’s edition — May 29, 2019 — Anthem Bagel Co. is now open in Kelley Square, a public listening session will be held next month on the City’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Plan, Jazz at Sunset will return in July to downtown Worcester, the Worcester Bravehearts and Saint Vincent’s Hospital are teaming up for a Cereal Drive, and Easterseals is offering swim lessons open to individuals with disabilities of all ages and their families in Worcester.
Kelley Square’s Anthem Bagel Co. is Now Open
It’s been awfully quiet at 19 Kelley Square — home to Anthem Bagel Co. — and its likely because no one knows they’re open. Well we are here to change that.
Anthem Bagel Co. is now open Monday thru Friday 6 AM to 2 PM until they plan their grand opening. In the coming days, look for a deeper dive from TWIW into Anthem Bagel Co. and what they are offering.
In the meantime, go check it out for yourself!
