Write letters to the politicians supporting the homeless. Housing is being provided for illegal aliens and though I don't want anyone to be homeless, I feel for the citizens and the families with kids living behind buildings and in the woods. Public pressure is the only way to make the politicians act! Politicians should take the money the lobbyists give them and provide housing.

Fatima’s forced me but more food than I wanted. He said “you buy this as well because it’s very good”. I said no thank you. He said already on bill. I tried it and he was right, it would have been a mistake to not get it. It is the best overall restaurant in town.

Ive been a member for a few years now and despite the price tag, it is worth it if you use their services. The wall paths are updated weekly, so it stays relatively fresh, but gives you time to work out problems before they go away. The traditional workout equipment is usually accessible and open, albeit not a ton of equipment compared to a planet fitness or other weight gym. The yoga classes are great and going to 4 a month anywhere else would cost just as much as the monthly membership. Lastly, the just installed a new Kilter board for unique problem solving, so you know They're always trying to make the experience better. Im actually about to head there now, but if youre curious, try the day pass. 25$ will get you access to everything they have, and at certain times, you can actually get the "rest" of the month for the cost of a day pass if you sign up. Lengthy, but i hope this helps!

that time of year? this is going on 8 months a year. landscapers use them for fucking everything, including blowing everything into the street. all summer that's all i hear all day, fucking leaf blowers. i'd 100% support a ban on them outside of a few months a year when leaf cleanup is necessary.

I have one neighbor that leaf blows 7-9am. Next one 9-11am. Another one 12-2pm. Next one 2-4pm. Another 4-6pm. (All times approximate- but you get the idea)

Also suggest fatimas and Belmont veg. Also most Vietnamese places- saigon, dalat, mint. Rice violet on main St also does vegetarian. Loving hut is vegan, they have a weird cult attached to it but as fast as i know it’s not anything to be worried about.

If you're not concerned with aesthetics, You can't beat a shipping container for durability. Even the used ones come with a guarantee of water tightness. In terms of security they're tops. Along with that they're critter proof which comes in handy when storing any kind of feed, bird seed etc. A ten footer new will run about what you'd pay for a well built shed. Used in good to excellent shape $2500 to $3500 delivered. Every few years you spend a day with a wire brush and a can of spray paint to hit rust spots. The only down side is they're dark inside so you might spend a few bucks more for lighting. There's a place on Rt 148 in Brookfield that sells all kinds of containers.

I think others have given OP the answer.

But seriously, without hyperbole (and I should say, also without a shred of actual evidence), it seems to me that between the start of 190 at the Rt. 2 split in Leominster and the end of 290 at 395 in Auburn, I cannot think of a time since the 90's when there hasn't been construction somewhere along that route.

I'm sure someone can prove me wrong factually. It just feels that way trying to think back.

If you include the section of 290 from the 190 split out to 495, then fuck it. I have to be right. Right?

If you have a small area to rake, raking is not bad and it's good exercise. I have about 3/4 acre of lawn and mow it with a tractor and in the fall I use the tractor to pick up the leaves. I use a blower on the drive way, in beds and under shrubs and blow it all onto the lawn. This takes less than a day to do, if I had to rake all of that it would take a weekend plus. Power equipment is noisy but you can't beat the convenience. I also do my gutters with a blower.
