Is that not a military airport?

Concord? What airport are you referring to? Only thing I can think of out there is minuteman which is too small for most any Biz jets. Hanscom, Beverley, and Norwood are the prime non-Logan landing areas for biz jets. Hanscom especially.
When you’re flying at $5000/hr or more, a few hundred bucks in landing fees and an extra $1000-$2000 in parking fees is considered a small thing.

Don't you mean Bedford? Hanscom is the big private airport.

The site mentions metal swords and axes, not sure if they also have clubs though

It's a tough spot to be. Me and my ex actually broke up halfway through a lease. It ended as poorly as you imagine. If you don't mind having room mates again dm me in a few months and I can hook you up with a cheap 9/1 lease when I sign somewhere new you can have my current spot

Reply to House of Blues Floor 1 vs Floor 2 by loemydew
I haven't been to HoB since pre-pandemic times, but back then you couldn't go to a floor that's different from your ticket's designation. Sucky policy, hopefully they've changed it.

I know there's a place in Washington state that's a drive-thru topless coffee shop. I don't fully understand it, but they have pretty good business, maybe that's the model they are trying to replicate? I still don't see it going well.

there was a lingerie store in Revere for many, many years where you could go and the girls in the store would try on the lingerie for you, amongst other things. Seemed stupid as hell to me but they survived for decades.

Reply to Heavy Metal Clubs? by parbageglate
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.

But, it does? That’s the whole point of it? The median literally tells you that half of the apartments are more expensive and half are cheaper.

Hey- ill bite in case you are not a troll and just young or inexperienced.
Just because someone is low paid, does not mean they do not have important skills.
For most of time service industry was a fine salary. You could be a waitress or paint houses seasonally or be an EA in a school district or a CNA and have enough for rent and enough time & cognitive bandwidth to pursue your actual passions, or raise your family or care give for others.
It is only since about 2008 AND Citizens United that things became nightmarish & dystopian for the working classes. I did not say things were good, but they were less bad.
There are an infinite amount of pathways that would lead to THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF US CITIZENS AND BILLIONS of people globally who earn less than substance wages.
The person likely has skills, but the powers that be do not pay adequately.
Teachers including most adjunct college professors in most states make less than minutes wage.
Add in any single personal crisis- mental health, addiction, a mega bad break up, etc. and voila.
Most Americans are 1-2 paychecks away from actual financial ruin. EU and some other countries do NOT have these same schemes. Education and Medical is free in most other countries globally, including developing nations.
Its not that individuals are failing, it is systemic structures in place for a fairly short amount of time that are harming most people.
Thank you for making yourself vulnerable by sharing your ignorance. Hopefully this explainer helps you & encourages you to look into why things are so bad for so many.

It’s amazing to see the number of private jets that use Logan to save their passengers a 25 minute drive from Concord.
