Worcester City Committee has turned down a second request to City Hall to implement a plan to balance the needs of homes and businesses with rooftop solar panels with the planting of trees on public routes.
WORCESTER — The city’s beloved and belittled “Turtle Boy” better think twice next time it wants to tussle with an unsuspecting tortoise from behind because, after a 30-year hibernation, “Snapper” has popped its ugly, hungry head out of its mutated shell. A true Worcester creation, “Snapper” refers to both an unfinished independent film project about a shell-encrusted killer reptile on a feeding frenzy at Coes Pond (renamed "Lost Lake") and the subject of a new short-film documentary, “Snapper: The Man-Eating Turtle Movie That Never Got Made,” by Providence-based filmmaker John Campopiano. “Snapper: The Man-Eating Turtle Movie That Never Got Made” is being screened Friday through next Thursday in the Coolidge Corner Theatre's Virtual Screening Room in Brookline.
