pretty specific item to luck into at a vintage store, online is probably your best bet

sowa market would be worth a look, and bobby from boston

christ in an intersection? that had to be terrifying

i don't even like it when scooters / other bikes try on the right.. just shakes you

whole row of cars sitting through an entire light cycle because nobody looked up from their phones. always hilarious.

Probably for striped bass so there’s a limited window when you’ll see them. Should be showing up soon when the bass follow the alewives up the rivers.

Lol

ABC Pizza in Central, divey Greek pizza style food but if you like that stuff as much as I do it’s great. Subs all start at $9.50.

Cambridge Pizza on the other side of Central, better quality, $12+ for subs.

Cardullo's in Harvard Square top out at $12.99, they are BIG and some serious gourmet shit.

What’s a nice place to see this / be offline when Reddit thinks China has launched its attack? Maybe somewhere along the Charles.

I always get caught sitting in my office and miss it.

JP Licks my local fav too.

Lol

They have a huge block party for one of the holidays, it looks fun.

my office is in the basement and the bathroom is on the second floor

just pop in and check it out man, cmon

Here's a rough search, fenced to where you probably will want to live. Price will change drastically by neighborhood and apartment quality, but figure $3k+ as a minimum for a two bed, $4-$5k probably more likely.

You need 4 months rent to sign a lease btw: first, last, security, and a one month tip to the piece of shit realtor who shows it to you.

Yeah I mean Im just a quick red line trip or 20 minute bike ride, but there is absolutely no way on earth I will ever EVER go back to working in an office lol. That era of civilization is over.

Design/UX in tech, I would do maybe one day at home max, pre-Covid. Often not even that.

Folks in our office with kids and/or long commutes would do two or more days at home pretty regularly though, and it wasn’t a big deal. There were always a couple people fully remote, usually high skilled individual contributors who could ask for something like that and be trusted with it.

People with very long commutes (Newburyport, Worcester, NH/ME) would work from the train too and count that as part of their day.

How will I know it’s spring if I’m not woken up by a truck megaphone

garden centers, pet stores, home depot etc will have them

i have seen them in some landscaping where you could probably pilfer a few unnoticed but don't remember exactly where. some of the bougie new projects around kendall square would be a good place to start.

This is the way

>I'd love any advice on how to maximize my chances of landing a good deal.

add another thousand bucks to your maximum price, and lower all of your expectations

Pretty sure we got one.

Saw someone else comment a theory that installers are adding the new Masssave rebates into their pricing. No idea if thats true, but that + general cost increases could easily double it.

Did you think they would stay flat while everything else got expensive?

Lol

there was a seinfeld episode about this

Start asking friends and coworkers for references: plumbers, electricians, general handymen, etc. A lot harder to find these people when an emergency comes up and you need them immediately.
