I bet there's just as many good nightclubs though!

I mean having a lot of money does not make it sustainable. MLS has struggled for years and only more recently has had success financially. With the shifting sports landscape and move towards streaming etc I have serious doubts this can be financially sustainable even if they have a low burn rate

The DeSantis landslide is important because Florida used to be a.major swing state. Massachusetts is solidly democratic, with a weird tendency to elect republican governors for divided government.

Stay away from the orange and green lines. They’re closed downtown and the open sections are running very infrequently.

Try out Ritcey East in Watertown! They have a monthly Tuesgay that's always a lot of fun! Amazing food and drinks too.

If you’re willing to travel a little outside the city I’ve had good experiences at Fressers in Randolph.

Ostensibly either someone has a lot of money or someone has a business plan that has a path to sustainability.
I wonder if the Revolution are in the black.

I heard from a reliable source that receives city-wide emergency personnel alerts that as of Wednesday night BPD was organizing to counter a protest. Memphis PD basically warned all other PDs of major cities in advance.

I was downtown Friday night, and it was eerie af. There was barely anyone out, and the streets were filled with crews boarding up windows and stationed cops in riot gear with motorcycles & cruisers every couple blocks. There even was a pair of officers coming in to do a lap in the quiet, half empty bar I was in. Clearly there was the expectation of 2020-esque protest.
It made me question if I’ve gotten jaded or desensitized to these kinds of awful events. I felt like I wasn’t the person I thought I was, because I found myself thinking “they were fired, they were arrested, and this is just getting started.” I didn’t have that fire inside me that drives me to get out on the streets, ya know?
Now, the entire unit has been disbanded. Exactly what I’d called for during other protests of injustice. So while I’m very sad for the man and his family, still waiting to see what else unfolds, I still am not expecting to hit the streets tonight.
I guess I’m feeling a bit validated that there weren’t mass protests, and think that maybe there is nuance to these situations that is widely understood. It’s not just an outrage machine we were all running, like a lot of murdering-cop sympathizers make a narrative about.

I also hear there's less traffic up there and rent is much much lower, but the social life sucks.

Most were established decades ago and while there have been expansions the huge growth has really only been the last two decades or so with the growth of media packages. I think the smallest market team makes more from the NFL tv deals than ticket sales now but there's a reason plenty of teams changed hands for a pittance ages ago. It wasn't the winning proposition it is today.

El Amigo is great, you’ll be happy there! It’s just a little taqueria and it does ‘em perfectly every time.
One other taqueria I’d recommend is Taqueria Don Rogue in Everett. It’s a food truck in an empty lot - and in my opinion is as good as the decent ones you’ll find in Texas or SoCal. Scratches the itch quite well.
If you want something a little more substantial, I’m a huge fan of Angela’s Cafe in East Boston for Puebla-style home cooking. One of the only places around that does Mexican food as good as I’ve had in Mexico. Their campechana and pozole are great. I love their Pipian verde too. Mexicans I know swear by this place.
Outside of that, we don’t really have a Mexican population here. Most of our Latin folks come from El Salvador, Columbia, Guatemala, Peru, etc. So there’s way more Central and South American food than Mexican. Actually, I would say the Boston punches way above its weight in those categories, it’s just that most people never seek that out. It’s all super different, though Salvadorans and Guatemalans do their own takes on tacos. If you accept the stylistic differences, then Teresa’s Market in Brighton is worth a trip for their agave pulled pork tacos.
For Salvadoran, I recommend Sabor Especial (just get pupusas!) or La Hacienda.
For Colombian, I recommend El Penol.
For Guatemalan, I recommend Mi Tierra.
For Peruvian, I recommend Tambo 22. Or Rincon Limeno if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Yes, Thursday nights are called Campus and it is specifically for the LGBTQ community. You would be amongst friends the other nights too.
