Welcome to Medford.
The amount of money/nightlife that could be accrued in downtown Medford if we only kicked out all the retirees from those massive nursing homes err, uh, "residential towers" right on Riverside and by Wellington.

Realistically the green line should go to at least Indiana

Trust me, i really don’t care what you think. I just made a counter argument to what you said because I disagreed with it. If I knew you would just refuse to even defend your own view point and just attack me I wouldnt have commented in the first place

I suspect the confusion stems from people thinking we’re saying “salt and pepper bridge” with a Boston accent. Those towers contain exactly what they’re supposed to - that is to say they’re hollow, for acoustic amplification purposes, and they carry a reverberating rendition of “Push It!” every time a broken-down train is moved across the Salt-N-Pepa Bridge.

Why is it that people like you act like a government is only ever capable of addressing a single issue at a time?

I believe Sister Thrift in Watertown has a decently sized toy/kid section.

Reply to comment by ppomeroy in What's inside the 'shakers' on the 'salt-and-pepper-shaker bridge'? by rabblebowser
Apparently the site in the fells was a different kind of anti-aircraft base, and was decommissioned when the nike missiles came out. Interesting article here: https://www.medfordhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MHSNewsletterFall2022-LO.pdf

Seconding this, my agent looks for the best possible policies for home/auto and makes sure I get all the discounts I can.

Reply to What parts of Boston and surrounding areas do you feel has an undeserved reputation? by SideBarParty
West Roxbury has everything I need. Decent rent with a parking spot and a balcony, tons of restaurants but for some reason it’s really boring here. I think it’s ‘cause I lived in Somerville for 22 years. It’s growing on me though. A bike lane would be nice.

So we are just undoing the Medford section of the GLX and reworking it to be an entirely new line that somehow cuts through the north end?

A drive, but every time I go to Savers in Hanover, the toy section is completely stocked with (literally) every single toy I’ve ever bought my babe, and every toy I would want to buy him as he grows

Don't just call one based on what you're seeing here. Call around and get a few quotes.
Call GEICO , Amica, and one of the smaller ones just to see what they can do.
Also don't cheap out on this when it comes to coverage.

Could you imagine taking the green line in from Brockton? That would take 3 days.

Both come from reservoirs well beyond their cities. NYC water also tastes wonderful, I agree.
