What rock are you living under?

This is the only answer

They have some smalls under $15!

Please, Reddit will, too.

RIP Good Times.

I’ve never had their cheesecake. Being from East Somerville, I was always a Patsy’s person. Alas…

(I would never)

Shaved steak with American cheese is a steak and cheese. Add the cheez wiz, and you have a cheesesteak.

A friend of mine loves Lyndell’s in Somerville.

That is hilarious. And yes, their steak and cheese is good. I am under the impression that a cheesesteak has cheez wiz on it with or instead of actual cheese, though.

Used to work at the Registry.

1. Surrendering your out of state reg means you turn over your registration, which will be cancelled in whatever state you’re from upon registering your car in MA. Registration means plates and actual registration card. Bring your registration and plates from state 1. Don’t even acknowledge the state 2 stuff when you go, you’ll just be over complicating.

2. Bring your current registration that matches the plates on your car. Again, I wouldn’t go out of my way to tell anyone you lived in another state and didn’t register there - it’ll just confuse everyone and someone will find a way to overcomplicate everything. If you don’t have a copy of your registration, get a dupe.

Edit: Talk to your insurance company before you go; you’re going to need a current insurance stamp and an RMV-1 form (or whatever the new version of it is called). Basically, you need a completed application with your insurance company’s blessing in writing, on the form.

We were at the office full-time before the pandemic, with a few exceptions, and if you really needed to work remotely once in a great while, you could, but it was frowned upon if it happened with any frequency.

When the pandemic hit, we pretty much went full remote. We don’t really have a policy for it now, and kind of handle it department by department, because some of us physically need to be on site to handle paperwork or product, and some of us don’t. We definitely streamlined some procedures and went online instead of on paper for a few things, which really were all things we could/should have been doing that way in the first place.

Especially lower Cape (e.g, Provincetown)

I searched in google maps for playgrounds, and this one came up - first picture looked underwhelming, but if you look at the other photos, they have some cool climbing stuff!

The Alden Play Area in Cambridge looks little, but fun:

This one is very different:

Alexander W. Kemp Playground (617) 349-4800 https://maps.app.goo.gl/UGjs4t5yFAjQdjTC7?g_st=ic

Nearest and dearest to my heart and ancestral homeland (and recently redone):

Damn you, OP! I have fallen down a playground rabbit hole!

Robbins Farm Park in Arlington is pretty cool, and great for sledding, too. They have a massive slide and great views of the city.

The old wooden ones were great, especially the one by Winchester Center @ Ginn Field, but they changed it. Alas, I am old now and no longer know an awesome playground when I see one. The new one looks decent, but not as exciting.

Ooh, Castle in the Trees is very cool!

It’s all super upscale too.

Lately I have been thinking about how it’s kind of funny that we went from strip malls, to indoor malls, and back to glorified strip malls.

I think a lot of people avoid malls because they just want to go to the one store they want to visit, and not necessarily to walk around and browse. The new outdoor malls give the feel of them being more convenient because you don’t have to park in a garage and then walk the length of the mall to get to the store you want to go to - but yeah, parking is usually kind of rough at them and if you are going to more than one store, there’s a good chance the walk is longer.

I like the outdoor malls better, but I also decided I hate malls in general a few years back, so I’m a little biased.

That’s a reach. Not a thing that happens. Cops aren’t going to write you a ticket based on some random guy’s dash camera. Come on.

You’ve got to deal with your mental health issues if you aren’t already. It is not healthy to worry to this degree about something pretty minor.

Never heard of such a thing, and I grew up here.

He’s super cute! I spend all my free time at The Lagoon, and of course a seal pup shows up while I’m working!

EZPZ. Short walk into town from there, or a couple drops on the green line. You’ll be fine. :)

Safe as in, you are unlikely to be attacked or accosted. But, whether you catch on fire is anyone’s guess.
