Most of the power goes into overcoming air resistance, not going over bumps. Smooth roads aren't going to reduce the power needed.

Quite honestly the only way to go. Although if you are interested in orchestral stringed instruments there are some shops for those around Northeastern and Berklee.

Most good shops are in the suburbs.

nah, we once fought a war because Americans didn't want to pay taxes.

Anyone inside of 128 was only supposed to get 3 inches at most. That just happens to be like 80% of the state population. The 12 people outside 495 look like they got a decent amount.

That’s why I shared it. Because OP referenced it.

Check out Station Landing in Medford, there are two hotels, 5 min walk to Wellington Station across that sky bridge, and at worst, only $5 to park in the T garage.

The vast majority of households have 2 working parents nowadays so it’s more challenging for most people to coordinate last-minute childcare. So when we have a storm like this where it could end up being worse than anticipated, it’s best to make the call early. I guess in this case they determined the worst case scenario storm would still be fine for getting kids to school.

Savers has really nice sweaters for $5 or $10. Guaranteed that two sweaters and a blanket will prevent your fingernails from turning blue.
National Grid and eversource work with energy suppliers who set the rates. They fluctuate constantly, hence why your bill also goes up and down.
You can reach out to National Grid, and I forget exactly what it’s called, but you can pay exactly what your payed last year for each month. Anything that you owe, or they owe you, you’ll settle up at the end of the year.

I remember stories from when they made it go around Boston. Everybody angry-laughed at the waste of money; "such a waste! it'll never be used! who's going to want to drive around the city??"

The Eastie route was recently brought back though, right? At least that’s promising. I would like to see the service to Lynn restored too

I ran the numbers and it was cheaper way back to live in the city than to commute, the cost of the car, and the lost time in the car at your hourly rate.
If you sold the car, moved to the city, or onto the rail line, a station is opening up in New Bedford and providence is a lot cheaper than boston and you can take the mbta pretty cheap or Amtrak and get a seat. Sometimes work will pay for the pass.

Reply to comment by Professional-Dork26 in Visiting in late March. Will there be snow? Should I get a rental car? by Professional-Dork26
So Lexington and Concord are next to each other but Salem is far from them. Separate trains. This person is right that visiting both would be a lot on such a short trip. I much prefer Salem as there is a lot more to do there.

In the full text section about not renting to families, why is it illegal for them to advertise no kids or refuse to show? It seems like a waste of everyone’s time to not put that in an ad, have to show it, just to be rejected (legally) if you like it. Am I misunderstanding that?
