Reply to comment by BostonUniStudent in Last seen Tues leaving Cambridge going to Bunker Hill Community College. May be autistic by ihatepostingonblogs
I agree. Especially because some reports have said he’s autistic. So sad

So flippant. If you shut down a train for 5 yrs, people just don’t keep doing the same thing until it reopens. You’ll destroy countless businesses and communities, perhaps permanently. People will move, and change their behavior to not need the train. So when the train comes back, it’s a different world.

Reply to Best bars for queer women? by Electronic_Yam_9246
Not a club atmosphere, but Trina’s Starlite and BackBar come to mind. Rock up to a bar seat, folks who work at both are rad.

They don’t post every concert early, just the big obvious ones. Most of these rides get organized a few weeks out. Pretty sure there’s at least a couple busses leaving Boston to every show at xfinity so you should be good.
And yes, lol @ Brett Michaels. The need to get sloppy is now clear.

My kid played in college in a situation like this a few times and parents were allowed to stand around the field house and watch. So even though it’s not open to the public, I’m pretty sure parents are not turned away.

My oldest started last year because his cousin plays. Not on track to play in college (unlike his cousin, who’s father played on scholarship) as it’s not his preferred sport and he started late. My middle child is a girl and there is no girls league at her age in our town, and she would rather play boys lacrosse anyway. My youngest just turned 4 and loves showing off to the “big kids” that he can play. All 3 play rugby (little one will start this year) and that’s their preferred sport.

I saw local news run a piece about this 8 days after he was missing. I understand he's an adult, so this isn't an Amber Alert situation. But it seems too long to wait, given how cold it's been.

Also pay your parking ticket. I forgot about one when I was in college and 10 years later, I couldn't renew my license bc of it. I had to drive all the way back to the city where I got it and pay it in person. It was a little inconvenient to say the least.

They take k-turns in the middle of Centre St in JP then scream at you when you get closer to them because you think they're turning onto a side street like a normal person.

I would remove the witch museum from the list. It's really not good. Salem has some cute shops. And an ok museum: Peabody Essex. I wouldn't recommend Salem for international visitors though.
I highly recommend the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. She was an eccentric collector. And her house was made into one of the best private museums I've ever seen. She had a lot of gay friends, actors, notable occultists. So her collection reflects that. I would have loved to have met her.
The Egyptian stuff is amazing. And a beautiful central garden. And it's the site of the most famous art heist in history. So you'll notice some blank spots on the walls. Those were all stolen. A mystery that remains unsolved.

This does, admittedly, make them slightly better than regular police.

Doubt it will work but most garages have weekend rates that are reasonably priced and much cheaper than the inevitable ticket

Not many apartments in Boston have outside access for dogs to go by themselves. Why are you so angry that OP treats his dog well. I left my dog for 2-3 hours and when I got back she was super anxious

Right?? Picturing the driver with a huge ass smile and an emphatic wave cruising on by me with my luggage and I’d just be like 🤨….whaaaat?

This is how it is for most of the country; unfortunately that’s where a lot of the drunk driving comes from too

Stupid. Completely void of finesse. Putting an old ticket on the windshield is asking to be re-ticketed and ups the risk of being towed. Saving a few parking dollars is hardly worth the price you'll have to cough up to pay all outstanding tickets, towing, and storage fees to retrieve an impounded car once you pay a taxi or Uber to dump you at the impound lot.

Bro just take some weed gummies before going in you’ll be fine. You’re not gonna wanna be drinking a lot in the crowd the bathroom lines will be absolutely insane and annoying once you break the seal. It also costs a stupid amount of money to drink there + the tailgating will be incredibly sad
