George Howell has a fantastic vanilla latte. I don’t normally order stuff like that, but that latte is like crack.

It’s absolute bs. But with the way things are lately, if OP pushes back, the landlord can just shrug, list the apartment, and find someone else to live there that won’t blink at paying it. It’s absurd.

Have you considered looking in Worcester? You don’t have to pin down your search to Boston.

Not trying to be an ass, but I assume you haven’t gauged the area well at all yet. Holden is closer to 40-45 miles outside Boston. I know you understand the commute already, but my only advice to give is looking closer to where home base is. Worcester might be a better option.

I’m sorry this is totally irrelevant and doesn’t answer the question, but if I’m not mistaken Holden is west of Boston outside of Worcester? Did you mean Holbrook?

Did you ever get to catch Vapors of Morphine?

I’m all about the classics. I stick to cran-lime and grapefruit mostly, but if they canned that cranberry clementine instead of just the liter, I’d be all over it.

Thank you for your service! You’ve done a good deed for us all. I’ll avoid.

I tend to stick to the classics anyway, I’m a cran-lime and grapefruit kinda girl.

Though I wonder if it being cold will change it significantly, or you know adding tequila, haha.

I’m waiting somewhat patiently.

You are moving with your partner - what is their contribution to the move?

Do you have any debt, are you trying to bring a car?

I personally don’t think it would be a good time, but there’s another recent thread where there’s a dude that will tell you you’ll live your best life on that salary.

You do realize Southie has two red line stops as it is, right? Admittedly, they aren’t conveniently placed depending on where in Southie you are going, but saying “still no train to Southie” is a bit much.

What’s the most important part? Wanting to live alone, or proximity to downtown? Also, what’s your max budget?

How do you plan on getting to work? Drive, willing to take the commuter rail? Etc…

Does Cafe Vittoria get all their pastries from Modern? That’s the second time I’ve read that today. Never knew.

They say they are visiting downtown landmarks, so they will probably be around there anyway.

That’s just a theme day in a bigger festival, but it’s still hilarious when you put it that way.

I always find it strange that with the abundance of fresh curds everywhere in that state, poutine is impossible to come by.

There’s the Boston Common Garage, would probably be most convenient.

If you are in town for multiple days it will be much more convenient to utilize public transportation and avoid driving in town. Especially if you are coming during 4th of July.

is this just a day trip, or are you staying in town multiple days at a hotel or something?

I have always opted for the balanced billing, so I pay about $155 every month. Except for when the big one comes around March every year it’s about $400-$600. I suspect this year that one is going to be a lot more. But I know it’s coming. I hate being cold in my house, so I budget for a high gas bill.

That doesn’t sound right. Did you have headphones on and miss it? Not trying to doubt you, but I’ve never ever in all my years heard of that happening without an announcement. I’m assuming other people on the car were confused/pissed?

Thank you for letting us all know this is a thing. I know where I’m doing my Christmas shopping this year.

Time to withhold rent.

This is kind of vague. Are you going straight to New York from Waterville valley, or coming back to Boston first? Your options are kind of limited to a car if you aren’t coming back to Boston first.

Pammy’s, Asta or Urban Hearth

No, but I knew someone that refused to say Tremont correctly in reference to the street. Drove me irrationally crazy. Same person that called Copley “Cope-ly”

I’m confused, do you live in a BHA property or no?
