The Revere Beach location is/was the only objectively "good" location. Every other store is mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the prices they charge now.

Dedham, be prepared to be overcharged and underwhelmed

It really is simple. Just turn the dryer on and run the brush from the outside. It blows it all into the yard.

If you have a drill, the brush is only $30 at Home Depot. Took me all of 15 minutes to clean mine out (about 25ft of solid vent pipe), including disconnecting one section at a 90deg bend

Breakheart Reservation entrance behind Wakefield High/NE Metro Tech is about a mile from Greenwood stop on the Haverill line. I don't think bikes are allowed off the paved paths other than at the powerlines

During the Big Dig, I remember ads for Foxy Lady breakfasts targeting construction workers billed as "legs and eggs".

CoL is insanely high here. That said, when I worked for Gentle Giant Movers, there were a bunch Irish and Scottish dudes on the crews who were over here for the season. For housing they packed themselves deep in shared apartments and toughed it out. If you're interested in that kind of work, contact the main GG office and someone will have a bunch of info for you. They make a point to hire guys from your neck of the woods as well as Lithuania. Strong fuckers, the lot of you.

Clipper Ship Inn is just over the bridge in Salem and is the best lodging deal around. It's not fancy but it's clean.

Feelings of what you 'should' be responsible for are immaterial. Your lease likely has the phrase "jointly and severely" in it. That means YOU are legally on the hook for their portion of the rent next month. You need to tell your landlord what's going on ASAP so they can help find replacements. Of course you should go after the roommies in court if you end up being out of pocket for their share but I would personally do everything I can to just wash my hands of them and get somebody else in their rooms.

Most everything is open all year. Less Halloweeny stuff outside of Autumn but you'll find plenty to do. Dress warm.

Danvers on Rt1S has been pretty empty the times I went recently

We now have the answer to Matthew McConag(however it's spelled)'s question on Kimmel's Mean Tweets: "Dick turd... what's a dick turd?"

Just don't cover the hydrants. In fact, be a good doobee and shovel out the hydrant nearest your front door. Fire Departments will sing songs of your deed.

Seems I saw this same headline only a couple years ago. Technically the headline is correct in that 2-3 years is plural but the MA state legislators don't go without an annual raise. Invariably it's well above the typical 2-3% most people get (if they get one at all). Nice to see that massive surplus going to good pockets, err use...I guess.

Exactly like every other service these days. We are in the new normal of "eh fuck it" service.

I've already curtailed my restaurant visits because for all but the highest end places, the experience is not worth the price anymore. Shrimp scampi for $29 and an absurdly priced drink before tax and tip? No thanks. One benefit is that I've knocked the rust off my cooking chops and some good stuff is coming out of my kitchen lately.

I lived off the C line for 15 years without a car. I like walking though.

If you don't need to jump in a car tonight, look at the various drive-away companies (that's just one of them). You drive someone else's vehicle cross-country for them. Friends have done this in the past and it's a great, cheap way to travel if you don't have a tight itinerary.

Cool. A friend used to work for Jim and I saw some beautiful pieces come out of their studio. Your damage looks relatively easy for them to repair.

I assume you are asking a question here...

Give Jim Anderson Stained Glass a call. He's on Tremont St in the South End. They do amazing restoration work.

Parking in front of a handicap ramp? No chance.

The nature of each ticket says you have no chance of winning the appeal. "I just moved here and didn't know" won't be a defense.

Very nice! Have you shared it on r/Patriots yet? They will love it

Years ago some culture mag rated Boston as the best city to be single. The editor had to clarify that it's the best city to STAY single.

If you are just out for a stroll, the Christian Science Center is a fun trip through time while shrooming. The maparium is extra wild with the audio reflections
