Vote for bike and transit infrastructure in Quincy. I commute from Cambridge to Quincy via the T and would love it if they invested in either the Blue bike network or a light rail network. Washington Street is begging for better transit options and more mixed use development.

Definitely. They moved the tables a few years ago as it was so crowded and unsafe as the tables were on the street now they are on the common. I buy from one of the women on etsy. Omg she has the most fabulous and fun candles. Just bought my third today since October. There are so many different types of tables but I like the handmade ones best.

Reply to comment by ahecht in MBTA won’t roll out $935M automated fare payment system in 2024 by weallgettheemails2
There were payment terminals at surface stations that dispenses a paper proof of payment ticket. There WERE inspectors boarding the trains at random and checking people's cards/receipts, and if anyone didn't have one they got a fine. This is the same system that many European cities use.
After about a year of this, those machines sat unused for 8 years before they were installed on the Fairmount line where they are in use today.

Not quite. That system was the people would enter through any door and then fight there way up to the front to pay at the the kiosk by the driver. With the new system there won't be a kiosk at the front. There will be touchpoints throughout the car, and when you get on you tap at any touchpoint. There will be inspectors boarding the trains at random and checking people's cards/phones, and if anyone didn't tap in they get a fine. This is the same system that many European cities use.

Honestly, mostly testing to see if I'd been blocked from the Boston sub as I've had multiple posts deleted today that were asking if they are renovating the Orpheum since its been closed all winter. (Couldn't figure out why else that topic would be setting off the Mods)

And this is why I’ll never work a 9-5 I can’t commute to quickly & easily. No amount of money is worth putting yourself through this amount of mental torture twice a day

Reply to Question about establishing paternity by 207Simone
It's a really strange piece of legal minutia, but per Mass law, technically speaking, the only person that can establish paternity is Maury Povich

The other poster’s comment was on point, but to answer your question, you fill out a form online and they notify national grid for you. All you need is your national grid account number to make the change. Here’s the link for the municipal aggregation program, https://www.mass.gov/info-details/municipal-aggregation - select your town and then enroll in the program.

This is my mom. I've tried explaining it to her, she just gets mad. I've given up.
At the same time she's been bitching for months now about the two single-family homes going up across the street from her house "because it is too dense".
Boomers gonna boom.

That doesn't seem right, as of 2014 it is close to a million subway rides per weekday. 2019 fares were 671.4m. Last year fares were only $200m though obviously that was mostly a temporary decline. https://cdn.mbta.com/sites/default/files/financials/budgets/fy19-itemized-budget.pdf

> The market is fucked, and it won't get better until rates take a SIGNIFICANT dip. Even then, we're back to stupid bidding wars.
Prices go up when rates dip usually.

If you over stay your ESTA visa (90 days) you will probably be barred from entering the US again.
You can come and go within your ESTA time period (usually 2 years) but don’t overstay the 90 days.

Rent it to who? Pay property taxes with what? And those children will be selling it to whom? The point is that demand could very well dry up considerably and it will become a buyers market.

You know, I was on 93 south around 6, and I was pleasantly surprised by how zippy my journey was. No traffic. Braintree split? No traffic. I was shooketh. I smiled with glee as I sped towards my destination much faster than I was expecting.
huh.
