Unless you go to the south shore of Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard, but that's expensive and time conusming.

I challenge everyone reading this who thinks it’s ugly, and yet has not seen it in person, to go take a look at it in real life. Art is suppose to be experienced outside of a phone screen.

Supposedly the original Sad Ghost guy died a while back, so people put them up as sort of a tribute all over the east coast. I've seen them as far south as Richmond, VA, and I used to see them everywhere around town when I lived in Philly. I would assume the artist had some connection to Philly - there's one of them on a railway embankment near Sullivan that's superimposed on a map of Pennsylvania with a little heart on Philly.
There's a TON of them around metro west right now, so I assume someone local is doing it as a tribute or something.

Stop trying to make it happen.
It looks like someone holding either a massive turd, or a giant dildo. It looks that way because of the back of the arms don't have an arm like structure, and there are "back of the arms" seen from almost every angle. This picture is slightly better than most because it has the least amount of back of arms / massive turd / giant dildo in the shot possible and it is dark.
It's not disrespecting MLKs memory to think that this statue looks like some holding a massive turd or giant dildo. You don't have to find an angle where it is least awful. Sometimes art is just awful. It's okay. I'm totally going to show out of town folks the hands holding a massive dildo statue, because it's hilarious. Sometimes art is so bad it is hilarious, and these arms that appears to be holding up a massive, floppy dong are just one such piece. Stop trying to be proud for the "right" reasons, and accept the hilarity of being proud of our arms holding aloft a giant dildo statue for the hilariously wrong reasons.

Reply to Overnight stay in Beverly? by SensitiveArtist69
Last time we stayed in Beverly, we stayed at the Cabot Lodge. It's a small, clean boutique hotel, we were very happy with it. It's a block away from the Cabot theater, so you can safely get your drink on. It looks like Wednesday night would be about $140.00.

There’s some cool old photos in the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum of that area when the house was first built. There was nothing around, basically just swamp land (I know that’s not Brookline but same idea)

Reply to comment by BradMarchandsNose in Moving truck from Tampa with Bucs logo and “equipment truck” on side spotted downtown. Just someone moving or Brady memorabilia moving back to the Boston area? by NYC-BOS
When I was younger, I always wanted to fly on one of the planes with the special livery, even though they are the same on the inside.

College friend had a diet coke delivered by a pizza place. That particular pizza place had an agreement with our college dining services, so they accepted college dining hall credits. This friend would order a coke or just a cookie to his off-campus housing all the time. I'm not sure how that pizza chain made money off of it.

Look at Bellevue University out of Nebraska. They have a cyber program with a lot of veterans and it is 100% online. Start looking at CompTIA Security + exam as well.

A grinder from the shop at the end of the street. My best guess is the shop is 165 yards from my house.

Citizens Public House for a great whiskey selection and amazing food.

We live in Arlington with our 3 year old and love it. It’s great to be close to Boston but not in Boston. There’s tons to do with your kid too and there’s a lot of young families. My hubby and I are originally from the south and lived in Cambridge before moving to Arlington. Message me if you have any questions.

It’s hard to imagine that land, even in 1890, being undeveloped.

From certain angles, raw sewage looks like chocolate mousse.
