Harvard’s Museams, worth it for the glass flowers alone but there is a lot of cool stuff in the “hallowed halls”

Duck boat tours. Duck boat tours are awesome.

My point was that the scene does a good job of capturing the essence of how we used the term back then. Even having Cliff be the character that said it, and the way he said it, somehow seems right on the money for the times.

I think of it as vaguely lower-class speak or blue collar. It was especially common to use it when talking about Boston sports and Boston sports fans.

Again. The key point is that the term has a long and deep history in the culture and the idea that the term was recently conjured up by the tourist industry is just plain wrong.

I had a florentine cannoli from Mikes Pastry recently and it was actually amazing. I had never been to Mikes because I assumed it was too touristy.

Where were the social workers?

A bartender pissed me off in 1998. They are dead to me.

I want to party with you.

I dont even like baseball and the tour was great.

Isn't this gentrification?

We were doing the sprinks over in rhe Navy Yard parking garage for MGH, we'd always go over and watch the tanker ships come in, and all of the police and coast guard escorts. It was crazy.

I thought we couldn't bet on college sports in MA?

Savannah Georgia is kind of nice.

It is gonna be -3 or -10 or something Friday night.

This boat literally pahks the cahs near hahvahd yahd

If you don’t like it then leave 😂

This is the way

You do know that Cheers is a fictional TV show created by Hollywood writers who aren’t from Boston? That’s like saying you know what the real NYC is like because you watched Friends.

Boston Children’s.

Dana-Farber Brigham and Womens’ is no slouch either.

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW SMALL THE RECEIPT IS?

For you maybe….

But that's like someone saying "the government should have healthcare", and someone pointing to the Tuskegee Study. We have examples of public housing in the US. We know what it looks like. A lot of public housing in Europe isn't what you linked to, either.

>Why do you need to force developers to do anything?

Because they develop in short-sighted ways, and that fucks everyone. They're building on land, which means it's limited and subject to public opinion, to say the least. I wouldn't force anyone to design a cup, painting, or so on, but if we're talking about a necessity that's inelastic, then we should come together to figure something out. No reason localities can't actually put thought into their building codes instead of just adopting whatever people decided elsewhere, which is really what happens.

Laughing stock according to who, and why do we care what they think? If you moved here without realizing it's one of the most expensive cities in the country I'm not sure what to tell you. LA and San Francisco, like Boston, are expensive cities because there is such a high demand to live in them. Sure you could save some money and move to a city like Detroit, but there's a reason why people aren't doing that.

natick. i just moved into a 2 bed 1 bath loft in natick center. 1950 total. completely renovated, hardwood, everything i wanted lol. i ended up finding it on craigslist after not finding anything on zillow bc i have a cat. you probably could find something for under 2.5k in newton, waltham, or watertown though, but it most definitely will not be in a complex. those start at like 3.2.
