Reply to comment by Intrepid-Hunter-5813 in I keep seeing this spray painted in boston anyone know what it is spose to mean/represent? by EnvironmentalCable69
Since you appear to be saying you've been going out and spray painting other people's property for years, let me take this opportunity to dispel your delusion that you are Banksy, and furthermore, you can go fuck yourself.
That also goes for anyone else reading this who tags shit up.

"Stop trying to make it happen"
In response to one person expressing their enjoyment of a piece of art. Get over yourself buddy. The world doesn't live by your subjective opinions. You've got a lot of growing up to do. Smh at your upvotes. Come on Boston.

Lots of nice neighborhoods to stroll through in Brookline. The side streets between Beacon and Comm or on the other side of Beacon are nice. We also like to walk around the Cambridge/Somerville border, especially by Harvard. Beacon Hill and Charlestown by Bunker Hill are also nice.

I did it at the self service photo kiosks at CVS (for this exact purpose), but that was like 5 years ago…

I used to live literally across the street from a pizza place in Cambridge MA. I ordered from there regularly. Always made them laugh. It gets cold af in Boston and sometimes I don’t wanna leave my warm cocoon so I pay tip and delivery fee for them to walk across the street with my one pizza all for myself.
I have zero regrets.

Brattle Street in Cambridge is great to walk along with a ton of historic houses. Easily accessible by the T and you can walk to the wonderful Mount Auburn Cemetery, explore that and then get the bus back to Harvard.

No offensive line and no receivers. As Belichick always said…..each year is different! He will also have a better year, he knows where he screwed up

I can't clarify because I don't know what your not understanding. Route 2 is an all access highway (not a limited access interstate highway) that moves east west paralleling for large stretches the Massachusetts' northern border. Perhaps a look at the map is needed?

> Time for heads to roll. $212 million over budget. The only explanation is pocket lining supported by our politicians.
i'm sure it will get blamed on the pandemic, but that's a total copout. the project started in 2017, and was supposed to be completed in 2021.
even if literally nothing got done in 2020/21, it should still be done now.

For families with young kids, this is a good group: https://www.arlingtonfamilyconnection.org/ Surrounding towns also have active family groups that you can look for (LexFUN, etc.) The libraries in the area are great for activities for little ones (https://www.robbinslibrary.org/) The main rec center in town is the Boys and Girls Club with gym classes and swim lessons.

Yeah I can definitely do that, but just would prefer if there's an actual option to print 2x2 photos.

You can print a 2x2 photo on a 4x6 print. Then, cut it to size

They money is already spent, the cost has been sunk, it’s not like cancelling the project would get the money back and may be even more expensive with termination fees
Also automated fare collection is a good thing in the long run, it allows for faster boarding and all door operation for street level surface routes
The new system would also allow differentiation of fares by income, bringing us in line with most other modern metros
The plan is now to implement it gradually to minimize issues, according to the herald, I think that’s a relatively good thing
The MBTA expects to collect 450M in fares this year, making up about 25% of the budget, this project will last about 20 years given the last fare implementation, so with straight line depreciation that’s still only 10% of expected post pandemic revenue

Given how much they spent on it, the least we can do is enjoy hating it.

CVS will print passport size. I've had them print photos I took and they trimmed them for me after printing.
