If you want to drive use spothero to pre-book parking so you know how much you're going to pay.

​

You can also go park at Wellington or Alewife and take the train in. (Although it's taking about 20minutes extra right now because of MBTA slow zone problems.)

Mix in other soils not just compost. Straight compost in your raised beds doesn't work as well as you want.

Cord cutting isn't veganism, you don't have to tell everybody about it. You also possess google and can look something like that up.

The way the snow fell this particular storm made it *really* difficult to get snow off your car if you let it sit. This past week was also MA school vacation week so lots of people were out of town. Although not cleaning it off is illegal I'm sure lots of people said "eh good enough" this morning when they were met with a 40 minute project and just jumped on the road.

​

Still sucks and is illegal but probably a higher than normal % out there right now.

Be aware that it is also public school vacation week that week so everyone with kids in public schools is also taking the week off. Plan your activity choices accordingly.

What I'm saying is that the land vs structure split is probably not being properly assessed because it's not relevant since taxes are based on the total assessment and unless you have a special tax status for your land the split doesn't matter except in your head where you think you're being treated unfairly.

I can't assess if you are being treated unfairly however because what matters is the comparative total assessment value as a % of market value for your entire property compared to those of your neighbors.

It is extremely common for people to challenge their assessments and they have varying levels of success depending on the town or city (which you've also left out). Most towns have only 1 assessor, sometimes even part time.

Oh it wasn't clear from your narrative that there is also a house on the lot and you're specifically worried about the land vs structure part of the assessment.

As long as the total value of the assessment is in the ballpark % of market value as your neighbors you don't have any shot of changing this. The assessor may just leave the land values at some minimum for years since the house is on that land and the breakdown between the two isn't relevant you your taxes.

A lot of MA towns have absolutely absurd requirements around building codes. It's totally possible that the town sees a lot as "single family lot" and values them about the same, especially if it's impossible by town law to further subdivide and build more than 1 single family home on the lot.

​

How close to the market value of the lot is your assessment?

FWIW I'm in bcbs too and we got word that they'd put the old (and now incorrect) rx info on our new cards and were sending us cards with the updated correct info, but that's likely very dependent on where you get your insurance from (work or marketplace or whatever).

If this is the first time you've refilled it in the new year it's possible that your insurance coverage changed slightly with regard to prescriptions.

You can even visit their studio in Lincoln and see things in production.

This is the answer.

Assuming you know a station that sells it anyway, although it's probably worth calling around for if you're gonna buy more than a couple of gallons.

Always fun when people realize you can put Diesel in your oil tank in a pinch to no ill effect.

​

Plus OP you can just buy 5 gallons at a time and dump them in on demand too.

It used to be Hare Krisna's at airports, trust me that the witnesses at the T stations are infinitely preferrable.

On ramps are yields for oncoming traffic. Yield means stop. (Unless it's clear to go, then you don't have to stop first) In MA just assume the driver in front of you will stop at ANY yield.

128 north of where it splits from 95 in Peabody and the rest of the way up to the North Shore is like this.

Saugus was a sundown town and a lot of that legacy still lives on. People there collectively flipped their shit at the idea of changing their racist mascot because "heritage" even though nobody in town has ever even met a Native person.
