... please do.

BTW, doesn't Cambridge THEORETICALLY have 20 mph speed limit ? ... be nice if that was enforced.

This is really good news

Smoking is already illegal in the playground areas of public parks and on school grounds.

Omg, there's also a pub right across the street from the school there. Actually, now that I look at the map, there's a Montessori school right next door to Atwoods too. Lol. Think of the children!

Thanks mods, I'm excited to see the community move forward. Veggie Galaxy is one of my favorite comfort food spots, especially their nondairy milkshakes.

Excited for the next era of the sub!

Then I guess nothing will change and the location still doesn’t matter

How good are they at snow removal for bike lanes in Cambridge in general?

I see this as a huge win. Too many puritanical roadblocks in this area.

You live in a city. Weed is legal and highly regulated. Dispensaries cause less problems than liquor stores or many businesses. Let them do their thing and you do yours.

Psst, you there, reading this...

Your line is, "The children, the children, won't someone please think of the children?"

Karen, please.

People already smoke weed there all the time.

There’s absolutely no reason to believe that. People lighting up in parks hasn’t been a significant issue. Why would it start now? Plus, who would even want to smoke pot in a public park next to a school? That doesn’t even make sense.

They will go to the public park at the school to light up.

Not sure how any of that is relevant. It’s not like children can walk in and buy weed. They can’t advertise or show that they’re a pot store on the outside of the building. Their customers aren’t going to light up as the leave. I see no problem here

Sadly, the Allston plans fell through

Flat Top really was the spot on this side of the river (even though they had cut back on the number of tables after the fire/well prior to the pandemic).

It seems like most of the other spots that have a table or two just sort of has them plopped randomly on the floor, often with bad angles/obstructions or situated in high traffic areas.

I know that Trinktisch beer hall over in Belmont has at least a couple of tables but I don't know what the floor plan looks like. May or may not suit your needs.

Perceived safety is crucial for actual use of the infrastructure though.

The city of Cambridge has done actual research on this — and it is clear that the majority of people who want to bike won’t until bike lanes are physically separated from cars.

Without perceived safety — you end up with empty bike lanes, leading to the never ending tit for tat that no one bikes, which just isn’t true

I’m excited for the changes to this sub. Cambridge is the best place I’ve ever lived and I think many here probably agree, and there is a lot of passion in that.

Wow - a surprisingly rational comment. Did not expect that today.

I just checked out their menu and this place is definitely going on my to do list!

This is a good idea, and I'll try to keep an eye out for things to post in the sub. I know the Brighton Bazaar is tomorrow morning and I'll be checking it out.

Not any more. Old mod is out. New mods are in. Ban is lifted
