508 is a show about Worcester. This week's show includes Brendan Melican.
The Transgender Emergency Fund, previously announced on 508, has a fundraiser Saturday night at the Hotel Vernon. The Antiquarian Society has settled its feud with neighbors; Brendan and Mike don't like the precedent that has been set. Brendan says people like his idea of a green grid for North Main Street, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen.
Worcester Magazine's best-of issue hands awards to both Alec Lopez of the Dive Bar and a runner-up to Happy Birthday Mike Leslie. (I think I misspoke on the show and said they won.)
Brendan and Mike talk for a really long time about Gary Rosen and Kate Toomey's hair. The powers-that-be are proposing new regulations on scrap dealers that Mike doesn't think will solve the problem of metal theft. Brendan likes Rosalie Tirella's article on sidewalks in the InCity Times.
