Suney's Pub and Restaurant, the Chandler Street business opened by Suney Kachadoorian in 1970, has closed its doors. The pub closed last Thursday without notice. "Selling was not an easy decision and due to lack of staff we couldn’t have an official goodbye, and will not be open any longer," reads a post by the Kachadoorian family on the Suney's Facebook page. Kachadoorian, who died in 2001 at 74, bought the former George's Café from Ralph Garabedian in July 1970. The pub, at 216 Chandler St., was a go-to place for seafood, with generations sharing fish and chips dinners.

The 27.6-square-mile town is bordered by Palmer, Ware, West Brookfield, Brookfield, and Brimfield. The Quaboag River runs through this small town that roughly 5,000 people call home. According to realtor.com, five single family homes are presently for sale in Warren.

Work on an Amazon distribution center at the site of the former Greendale Mall continues, even among upcoming five closures of centers across Eastern Massachusetts, including Milford.  Amazon spokeswoman Caitlin McLaughlin confirmed that the Worcester site will open as scheduled, although she did not specify when. In July 2021, the demolition of the mall was followed by construction work that is quickly materializing plans for a 125,000-square-foot Amazon distribution center. Amazon is expected to pay an estimated $185,901 in property taxes for the warehouse at Neponset Street. It also operates a distribution center at 125 Goddard Memorial Drive in Worcester.

Residents of a partially collapsed apartment building on Mill Street will be receive an additional month's hotel stay, through September, Acting City Manager Eric Batista said. In a statement, Batista said the city, the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance and the United Way of Central Massachusetts collaborated to provide an additional month's stay for residents of the 32-unit Pond View Apartments on 267 Mill St., while the residents continue to search for housing. On July 15, an early-morning roofing job apparently led to construction material falling through the roof, weakening the apartment building and forcing its evacuation.
