The landlord cares if their tenants are lawyers because they're doing illegal shit and don't want anyone to call them on it.

Going solo is amazing. No waiting for others and lots of time singles line moves way faster.

Reply to comment by Professional-Dork26 in Visiting in late March. Will there be snow? Should I get a rental car? by Professional-Dork26
The "T" is the nickname for the MBTA -- Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. People usually use it to refer to the subway, but the MBTA also runs buses and Commuter Rail trains as well.
The four lines of the subway (Red, Orange, Blue, and Green) and buses are considered part of the same network, and you can buy a daily or weekly "Link Pass" for unlimited usage of them. This is what you'd use when getting around Boston, Cambridge, etc..
The Commuter Rail trains (indicated in purple on the system maps) are their own network which require you to buy separate tickets: you'd need to take the Commuter Rail to get to Salem and Concord.

I don't think this would create a conflict. We've had judges that had to recuse themselves from certain cases due to a conflict and it just gets sent to a different judge. If it was student and they were renting from a professor they could probably take a different class if it ended up being their professor. I think the chances would be small though.

She was the state’s top prosecutor. She did nothing beyond the bare minimum. She’ll do nothing with this chance.
I was not a Baker fan but signs point to her being even worse on this particular issue.

Increases your buying power and reduces demand at the same time!

Reply to comment by RailRoad_Candy in Healey’s chance to go big on State Police reform - The Boston Globe by drtywater
My predictions are 1. A useless internal committee with high press profile but zero meaningful action (e.g. lip service). 2. A couple "bad apples" who go publicly down as fall guys, while the same bullshit continues in an entirely spoiled department.
I hope I'm wrong, but Healey has bigger aspirations and easier wins to put on her record than taking on MSP.

Not at all.
You should see if Boston ski and sport club has a trip and see if it’s something you can sign up for

Yes, “the T” is what people call the subway :) (and occasionally other transit within the MBTA)
According to the link bobby_j_canada posted below, at Eliot station it’s $9 on weekdays now, and $3 on weekends.

Looks like they might have removed that from the listing now.

No, because even if you go with friends; unless you're all at the same skill level, you'll end up being alone anyways. Definitely not weird.
You do you man, who cares what people think anyways? No one is gonna remember you at the mountain and doubtful you're gonna see them ever again.

Axe palace is the shit. Especially good if you’re into custom luthier builders and don’t necessarily want to wait out a build time.

Given the length of your stay, I'd suggest sticking to Boston and Salem and skipping Concord. Yeah yeah, it's an important site and all that, but unless you go during one of the reenactments (which happen on Patriots' Day in April, not in March) you're basically just looking at an empty field with a few plaques.

I pray that today, that sheet melts just enough so that when you hit your brakes, it comes down onto your windshield and blocks your view. Just then, you might learn not to be lazy.

Here's the list, just make sure you only park in the garages that are listed as "Yes" for Overnight Parking: https://www.mbta.com/parking/stations-and-rates
bobby_j_canada t1_jacpqt3 wrote
Park the car in the Riverside lot on the Green Line, then take the subway to and from the hotel. $6 per day. You could also use the covered garages at Alewife or Quincy Adams for $9 per day.

Doesn't seem to be, but I'm definitely hearing from friends that buses are also pretty screwed overall. Traffic seems light though
