My ex was served a few hours after I left the court, keep calling them until they serve and make sure your friend documents any and all attempted contact from her ex after he is served. Call the police immediately. Document everything.

Honey Dew blows Dunkin Donuts out of the water

I use the instant cold brew coffee from Trader Joe's and it is shockingly good.

Speaking of towns, are there any rough areas that I should avoid?

That's good to know, thank you so much!

It is. And so is the food.

Seeing people spend 2k a year on shitty coffee is mind blowing.

I'm all for being lazy and treating myself but...my French press coffee costs me about 5 bucks a week. It's like 300 bucks for the year and it legit takes me 2 minutes in the am.

People go save 1700 and drink decent coffee!

I grew up there and have seen the town change slowly, for the better, throughout the years. The town still has it's quirks to put it lightly, but isn't bad overall. Billerica does have some traffic during commuter times, like route 3 north backing up northbound in the afternoon, or southbound in the morning. If you commute from Somerville/Cambridge area, you'll find you're largely always traveling easier as it's reversed. Traffic here is bad, but it really couldn't be worse and there are definitely areas you want to avoid if you can like the southeast expressway at any given afternoon, including weekends.

I was under the impression in Massachusetts it has to be served by an officer/sheriff and it has to be in person

Thanks for that info.

Haven't been to Dunkin once since they changed their rewards program.

Cumbys all the way.

Tips for pronouncing MA town is to not break them up the way you'd think.
Worcester - Worce-ster
Gloucester - Glouce-ster
Haverhill - Have-rhill (have rhymes with nave)
Billerica - Bille-rica

Other once are just you have to know and there is not shortage of towns like this.

Quincy - Quinzee
Medford - Medfid

They will attempt once or twice a shift depending on the town/city. After that the court may allow them to contact the person by phone.

I was looking in those areas so good to hear I can still meet my budget. Do you like Billerica? Is the traffic from the Boston area to there pretty bad? I’m in Phoenix so I’m used to traffic, just not sure how it would compare to Boston.

Grew up in Billerica and currently work there. If you're in your 20's or 30's and plan on roommates, you can still live near Boston in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, East Arlington and come in at or under $1200 a month. I used to "reverse commute" from East Cambridge to Burlington and Somerville to Billerica. This is assuming you'll have a car. You can live in Allston/Brighton, it's not a bad ride, you'll just hit bottlenecks that will make your commute a little longer. You'll find having a social life and making friends in that area far easier than living in Lowell/Billerica/Burlington/Woburn.

I now commute from central MA to Billerica.

Are the rough parts of Lowell scattered or is there a certain area I should avoid?

Whatever happened to freedom of assembly and freedom of speech?

My friend just asked me about his Dunkin app adding 50 cents extra for cheese using his rewards to buy a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. I couldn’t explain it, but now I know why.

Haha thank you! I was pronouncing Amherst wrong for the longest time even though it's one of the most phonetic ones.

To help ease your move further, more pronunciations:

Worcester - Wuss-ter

Haverhill - Haver-rill (or Haver-ill)

Leominster - Lemon-stir

Chelmsford - Chems-fud

Boston - Baaasssston ;-p

Am I missing any?

"Legend"? Clickbait headline.

Looks fantastic! Seems like even bad publicity is good in this case.

Yes, but it was rude so I took it down.

A bit more about Martin. He’s a marathon runner and a hospice volunteer according to news sources.

One article referenced a hidden $1.25 cream cheese fee.
