Reply to Are the cvs’s in lowell any good? The one in haverhill always has my rxs as soon as i need them if not right before. But its kinda hard for me to get to the haverhill one now that i live in lowell. by OjosDeGemini
CVS on wood st is 24 hours. It's not fully reliable but depending on your needs and hours it's been our primary pharmacy.
Also the Hannaford in drum hill in Chelmsford is VERY reliable. But not 24 hours.

dracut is better in my experience. faster and more reliable plus the bonus of shorter wait times

They're fine. But depending on where you are the Dracut ones might be better.

Fantastic thread. My girlfriend just moved to the city and I've been trying to find things to do.
Thanks for all the responses!

The Lowell Transitional living center allows groups to wait on clients for dinner. You simply go in at dinner time and bring people their meals & drinks so they don’t have to stand in line. If someone wants training, I serve a couple times a month, and would be happy to show a few people the ropes. Then you can pick a night each month that your group will serve a “sit down.”

Lowell Transitional Housing needs all kinds of support and they are a wonderful organization. ltlc.org Also the Merrimack Food Bank on Broadway needs support. mvfb.org
So grateful to hear that your organization wants to help improve the lives of others in the community!

Dwelling House of Hope! We are always looking for more help, especially anyone who wants to be consistent with their volunteering hours. I've been working with them for over a year and it's always a wonderful time and the owner is amazing.

Highly suggest joining in with the Litter Krewe. They are a good bunch of folks and it's more fun than it sounds. But it's also a great way to get involved initially and meet other people who share your interest in doing good things for the local community. It'll probably lead to you meeting people that know of other local situations that could put your generous efforts to work.

Here's a link to a Lowell Sun article which shows a different picture of Michael. It's good to see more photos of someone to get a clearer picture. I see a lot of folks on the street between where I live and work. So I am keeping my eye open.
Also he's 5'10" so not a short person.

I’ve got a good support system & have been taking to his sister. I really appreciate your hospitality and it’s the same here. Also been updating friends who aren’t all on the same socials and yes I want closure for them all, too.

I heard that too. Myself and a couple other people I haven’t spoken to in a while are all on the horn updating one another. I’m not sure what I hope for at this point other than closure for his family. I just have a really bad feeling that the worst possible outcome is where this is all headed. I hope you have people to talk to and have around if you need them over the next few weeks. If not feel free to reach out. It’s gonna be hard.

I’m really sorry. I haven’t seen him in a few years but I’d always consider him a friend. He’s a funny and person. It’s been a really hard week thinking about him. Be good.

Police said their drones didn’t pick anything up. State Police water rescue can be in the area Wednesday the earliest with a sonar scanner. Due to weather & other rescue missions of missing people that’s the soonest. Dracut PD said it’s not safe conditions to put a boat in the water.

That little dog park right at that roundabout has turned into a huge camp.

Yeah they have. Mental illness and fentanyl really hasn’t helped. It’s really sad.

Yup, that's the spot. Can be a bad spot over there if you're not careful. Those encampment have really taken off over the last couple years.

His sister said that they are starting at the Aiken st bridge and heading towards dracut/metuen and that if he’s down there they’re not sure how far he’d get. Its day 6 now. She mentioned with that the water temps it’s likely that he had sunk.

You’re not kidding. I know of two people that died off the university ave bridge. One fell and the other jumped. The water is shallow, rocky and extremely fast out that way. I imagine it’s pretty rough now with all the rain over the past few months. Be good!

Reply to When these projects are all completed in the next few years, you'll be able to ride a bike between Lowell, Marlborough, and Waltham almost entirely on paved off-street paths: by Sbatio
Wow, I had no idea they'd already paved a ton of that abandoned rail between Wayland and Waltham. I used to ride my bike out there all the time and loved the terrain. Kinda sad... but at the same time nice that one will be able to ride down to Waltham, catch a bite and a brew, and ride back. So cool. Only thing is crossing that bridge (unless it's paved yet) is a hazard. I would always have to cross the live tracks. And those are some series tracks with difficult rocks to traverse. The trains come through fast there.
PS: I just remembered that I used to help out clearing the rail intown in Waltham. I think it was through some trust. Lots of students and professors were involved. It was fun and actually quicker work than I thought it would be. I suppose that stuff will link up at some point.
