Who will you be playing for? Surprised the club isn't helping you find work and a place to stay. Most of the guys I've known that have come over to play for the summer usually have that sorted for them by the club, I'd look there first.

That's mostly about city and county assessors trying to avoid getting yelled at by their constituents. All the political incentives are in place for towns to under-assess properties if they can get away with it.

The commuter rail schedule can be affected by someone sneezing on some days.
Sarcasm aside, a lot of lines have been only running like one train an hour since Covid, and my line (Fitchburg line) often isn't even on time even during good weather.

I think it was this one (or some similar one): https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/29/metro/market-badly-out-kilter-many-older-residents-are-stuck-their-homes/
Yeah, the article kind of missed that smaller units were mostly illegal.

I imagine that they'll look at the VIN and try to contact the owners prior to any crushing/auction.

Mandarin is the best hands down. G20 is good also.

Not to mention the opportunity cost of letting a downpayment sit there in cash for years while you "wait it out".

Unlike you, I don't blame a collective for an individual's actions.
They have rights, but fewer rights than what they often take. This means, that they don't get to camp out on a bench meant for everyone. Public property doesn't mean that it's owned by any particular hobo.

Your post appears to be one of a number of commonly asked questions about the port city of Boston. Anyway, Royale is fine if you're just trying to get drunk and dance and hookup. The Grand is more of the same as Royale but more expensive and a stricter dress code. Bijou is fine if you're into house music, the last few times I've been to Bijou the crowd was mostly freshly 21 people. Legacy is under Royale and a pretty great queer club if that's you're thing. Good Life, Phoenix Landing, Middlesex, and The Lower Level are all great for underground shows if that's your thing. The vibes at those 4 places are all pretty good. Good Life is my favorite and they open back up this weekend. If you're just looking to get trashed and don't care what you dance to or who you dance around, any of the bars around Haymarket/Faneuil Hall will do. Ned Devine's, Hennessey's, Hong Kong ($1 chicken sticks!), Sissy K's, Coogan's. I think there's a few more I'm missing but those are the big ones. Also, I can't believe I forgot this, but if you're into top 40 or hip hop, Venu, Cure, Icon, and Hava are places to go if you're looking for something a little nicer/fancier/more upscale than what the Faneuil Hall/Haymarket bars and clubs offer. I also forgot about Memoire because it's in the casino but frankly I don't really know anyone who goes to Memoire regularly. It's more of the same stuff they play at the Grand and Royale. Now I think I've named them all. Also, please check the sidebar for visitor information.

Reply to comment by downthewell62 in 'Difficult to find right balance': Wu responds to harsh criticism on handling of Boston violence by Boston1_
>"It's very difficult to find the right balance between supporting families and being present, and reaching out with services and support behind closed doors, rather than running in front of cameras — that actually retraumatizes and elevates experiences that families don't want to live through ever again"
That's is Wu's opinion - clearly the community feels differently.
>I see one quote from one person, not "the black community" that she very obviously isn't ignoring. Nice try though
So we need to get every single black person's opinion on how Wu is handling public safety in their communities before we can make any conclusions? Rev. Eugene Rivers is clearly a leader in the community and infinitely more connected with its residents than you are. It is wildly inappropriate (and borderline paternalistic) to think you know better than a community leader.
The fact is Wu drastically underperformed among the Black community compared to Marty Walsh (let alone Janey) - that is not conjecture. Even in her city councilor days, the Black community did not feel like Wu advocated for or represented them:
>Walsh’s support is strongest in Roxbury, Mattapan, Hyde Park and Dorchester neighborhoods generally to the west of Dorchester Avenue, where 54 percent of respondents said they’d likely support him and just 16 percent said they’d likely support Wu.
The fact is the black community at large feels ignored by Wu. You can't hand wave this away and tell them how they "should feel".

Not commuter rail, but the Downeaster will drop you in Freeport Maine which is great to walk around.

Even if it's technically the landlord and they take 48 hours to do it (reasonable ticket completion) it's not worth the two shit nights of sleep to save the $2.

There are only a couple of scooters on the market that can do 30mph. 95% of what you see in Boston top out at 19mph. OP is clearly over exaggerating.

By the time your new supplier kicks in, we will be back to Summer rates May 1. This is something you should be doing every summer is shopping rates for winter. It is rare that I have seen a supply rate in Summer cheaper than National Grid's, but winter rates you can get a deal if you sign up in Summer for Winter. For this winter, I signed up for 12.69¢ in Summer, when National Grid's rate was 11¢; people thought I was crazy, but I knew that Winter rates are always higher than summer rates, and I'd end up saving. Two winters ago, I signed up at 9.5¢ at the end of summer, and that winter, National Grid's rate was 14¢. Always sign up in Summer to lock in a Winter Rate. Some people who locked in with a contract in December at 18¢ are sorry now seeing 13¢ options, and may be very sorry when National Grid's summer rates are announced.
