Worcester Telegram & Gazette

WORCESTER – The baseball rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is yesterday’s news.

Thanks to the Worcester Bravehearts, there’s a new homegrown rivalry baking or steaming its way to the forefront, and it’s between two beloved and tasty Worcester institutions – Table Talk Pies and George’s Coney Island Hot Dogs.

John W.S. Creedon Jr., owner of the Worcester Bravehearts, and Dave Peterson, general manager of the baseball team, recently unveiled a promotional campaign in which the Bravehearts will briefly be renamed the Table Talk Pies or the Coney Island Hot Dogs.

“On June 19, which is a Tuesday, the Worcester Bravehearts are not going to exist,” Mr. Peterson said. “There will be no Bravehearts. The team will change their name for one night only. We don’t know yet what our name is going to be. That is up to the community.”

In Worcester, the name Table Talk has been synonymous with pie since 1924…especially the beloved four-inch pie…”me snack,” as some say.

Not all 10,000 pies an hour make it to market. Good news for us, those deemed perfectly imperfect can be had at bargain prices at the pie store on Green Street.

WORCESTER – Take about 11 acres of land, buy much of the property, tear down decrepit buildings, give new construction a tax break and then resell available parcels to developers.

That’s the recipe the city of Worcester followed with the South Worcester Industrial Park over close to two decades, a swath of land wedged between Canterbury Street and railroad tracks. The land was once home to metal and machine manufacturers, a foundry and an auto salvage business.

Today, the park is home to a pie maker and a manufacturing equipment seller. Soon, a modern manufacturing building for small businesses or startups will rise on another parcel. All of the parcels bought and cleared by the city have been sold or have deals in place.
