Oooo this place has been on my list of spots to check out!!

Neil Comeau @captain_sloth does awesome anime tattoos. Not sure about coverups, but check out his work.

This kind of comment isn’t super helpful unless you name the company. All construction has delays, fees, change orders, scheduling issues, etc.

Dunno if you’ll find any custom builder for that price, but start here: https://www.deckhouse.com/

Where in MA?? What’s your budget?? What’s your style??

you could try forge & vine or gibbet hill in groton (restaurants with good bar programs). otherwise, yeah, worcester unless you're looking for a dive/townie bar.

depends on your definition of fun ;)

It's fucking amazing. Fast, cheap, reliable. I've had it for 2+ years and I think it's gone down, like, once.

Yeah, this whole area used to be "small rural/suburban towns," but that is changing (and has been changing for the past 20 years.) We can either stick our heads in the sand or be smart about it. Littleton has plenty of potential for growth without losing its rural charm (eg, Springdell Farm was just permitted to expand their composting operations, which will allow them to keep the farm.)

The best locations for growth are hubs like 119/495 and 110/495: easy on/off access to 495, most amenities are already right there (groceries, restaurants, offices, etc.) Adding a public transit/bus line option along 110 decreases traffic. Linking to the commuter rail further decreases traffic. Want less traffic? Build a robust public transit system.

Codman Farm in Lincoln raises and sells their own poultry and beef, Springdell Farm raises and sells their own beef.

Supposedly, there will be public transit options to get folks to the commuter rail station. It’d be rad if the town also started a bus route along 110 — including the Point, this development, etc.

Or we could just budget an extra 5-10 min into our travel time and not bitch about it.

Where would you prefer folks buy their firearms?

Because it's a terrible parking lot layout. No clear pathways for pedestrians through the bigger lots, no traffic calming implements aside from the rotary so folks just rip through, etc. It makes more sense for someone to get in their car and drive to the other stores than to walk, which defeats the purpose of The Point.

And yet the site will still be majority parking lot!

Sand is cheaper. The various salts/brines are more expensive, have specific timing for when they need to be applied in order to be effective, are only effective within certain temperature ranges, and some are challenging to store.

There might also be local/state regulations about what can be put down (eg, if the roads are near a drinking water supply, etc.)

Coyotes aren't nocturnal, so it's normal to see them at any time.
