Frappes: Milkshake in New England.

I think the ice cream makes the shake so Honeycomb and New City always hit.

Not in Cambridge but West Newton, I’m obsessed with Cabot’s. They are a restaurant AND and ice cream shop in one; they have a dedicated ice cream menu. Also one of the only places that does a true cream soda. The ambiance makes the shakes taste extra good.

Even before cell phones, “swarming” is what happens during “school yard” fights. I’ve attended “rough” and “better” schools and fights have happened; same behavior. And the reason why they didn’t separate it was probably the same reason you chose to be a bystander.

I would start internet searching “textiles for jeans”, “textiles for work pants”; “traditional textiles fabrics for workwear”. You’re likely to get apparel design resources / leads on the type of fabric and what characteristics a manufacturer of workwear is looking for and then you could narrow down brands.

Their repair services are pretty solid. I had a 3/4 length puffer coat and the zipper failed after 10 years and they replace the zipper. I paid for the shipping to them but otherwise no additional costs.

Mommesilk, all season duvet. It’s silk filled with a cotton cover. On Amazon it’s about $150-ish for a queen. Has 6 loops to tie the cover down.

Totally doable with roommates! Though it’s kinda depressing that salary one still needs a housemate for a comfortable living situation (meaning being able to pay the bills and still have a bit of fun and savings).
