Manchester easy. Nice old downtown. Easy access to outdoors. Case mountain is great for mountain biking and hiking.

Reply to comment by Sweaty_Conclusion_80 in "Native Land Digital" is an indigenous-led, Canadian-based non-profit group seeking to raise awareness of where original Native American tribes owned property. They admit that this is a work in progress, not perfect, and seek corrections. Thought the CT map (with some NY) was quite interesting. by CTHistory42
Probably why they say in the title that it’s a work in progress seeking more information and corrections.

Idk the reasoning behind it. It was really weird because the page admin was someone who lived on the west coast and they wouldn’t budge even when people tried to find a solution. They basically just made the page private and kicked a bunch of people.

Yep. When JP’s original page hit some designated member count some admin from another state stepped in and said the group had be be split instead of just being all of JP. There was a lot of argument about classism given how segregated JPB is and they ended up making a rival group.

Buy nothing started as a Facebook page. And it was their corporate structure caused the rift. Not against the concept but also not surprised they formalized it more.

Funny story. The buy nothing Jamaica plain page underwent a revolt a few years back. I guess the parent organization tried to split the page to keep the membership at a certain level. Accusation for classism got thrown around and we ended up with an “Everything Free JP” page.

Reply to Can someone explain what is taking CT so long to have retail cannabis sales? by MusicMan99112
It was the same in MA. I moved from CT to Boston after they legalized expecting lots of recreational access. Had to get not so legally for almost 3 years before they actually had recreational.
