The City with Too Many Damn Slogans

That would be Worcester, which apparently has an identity crisis like you wouldn't believe.
But ya gotta love a city where people still pitch woo.

Identity Crisis vs. half-ass attempts
Thanks for the shout-out Adam. You're invited to the party next Thursday. Details to come, but I promise good beer.
And it's not an identity crisis. Just too many people who think a slogan equals effort.
Goddard signs
There are also the signs mentioning that Worcester was the home of Robert Goddard. But as a science fiction fan, I like those. In fact, we featured a photo of one of those signs on our convention T-shirt.
Beethoven Werke Ohne Opuszahl
Some classical musicians in the Worcester area could arrange a concert of Beethoven pieces that have no 'opus' number (nothing to do with Berke Breathed's cartoon character), which, in German, are 'werke ohne opuszahl' or WoO. Just a few examples: 6 Minuets for Piano, WoO 10; Piano Sonatine in F, WoO 48, usw. Discounts for people with WOO cards.
