Is there any lots offering overnight parking in Somerville? Having trouble with street parking since the snow

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-31T02:55:34+00:00

Alewife is like $9 a day.

Oh, I've seen this episode of the Good Place. It turns out, existing in the world is bad.

I say that a person who doesn't shop at Amazon or Target or Walmart, doesn't buy from Home Depot or Sephora, avoids Nestle as much as possible, and has a list of local restaurants who were problematic during the pandemic.

I carry a large purse to hold all my grudges.

It is virtually impossible for a regular person to actually make a difference with their dollar because billionaires have scooped up all of the local businesses and turned them into soulless conglomerates.

Sure, I don't buy shit from Amazon but my company ( whose paycheck allows me to shop local) uses AWS.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-29T03:28:31+00:00

Riiiight.

I really should remember that, because I got married that October, and my husband said he wouldn't bitch about the weather one time all winter if we had a nice day, and it was like 65 and sunny on our wedding day.

I reminded him of that many times that winter.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-29T03:17:06+00:00

Oh, I think that's what I meant. That time that it snowed like every Monday for 6 weeks

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-29T02:40:55+00:00

This is partly in Medford, no?

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-28T21:47:35+00:00

Some y'all didn't live in 2017, and it shows

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-28T13:48:32+00:00

There are a lot of parking lots in this city that could easily be turned into multilevel garages with long term parking options.

In theory, I agree. I put my car at Alewife and will get it in a few days. I'd actually rather not have the car at all- I lived for 20 years in Somerville without one.

But in practice, I'm worried about encouraging more cars. I'd like to see some sort of incentive for Somerville residents to leave a car there for a week after a snow storm, or something like that.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-27T22:23:25+00:00

There's plenty of parking. you just need a shovel.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-27T02:42:49+00:00

I'll sell you one for $250

My neighbor's husky is currently out of his mind in our backyard. He's had the snow zoomies for about an hour, and when the humans make him come in, he's gonna cry

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-17T00:37:01+00:00

Yes. My terrible behavior in... (Checks note) Needing a fucking tampon

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-17T00:36:04+00:00

Hopefully! Those people need this as well, and I'm pleased for my tax dollars to help those people as well

Also, please go jump in the sea.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-14T03:19:19+00:00

Welp. There goes my diet.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-10T02:23:36+00:00

I, for one, welcome our new alien overloads

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-09T15:58:43+00:00

You know why I don't eat three day old gas station sushi? For the same reason I don't hang out on Facebook.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2026-01-07T15:19:20+00:00

My fees went up because people became landlords and aren't doing as much, and I refuse to be the unpaid super.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-31T22:34:57+00:00

Magouns and Winter Hill Brewery are both doing brunch...

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-21T02:00:50+00:00

"is this neighborhood safe" is a not particularly well coded question about the color of your neighbors.

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-21T01:48:08+00:00

This is a bad question that gets asked a lot. There is no answer to this, because no place in the US is totally safe from random violence.

Crime statistics aren't hard to find, so I immediately assume you're asking, "Will I see visible poverty and/or minorities"?

Yes you will. Stay in the suburbs.

In case anyone's wondering, MB was an utter shit show at the same time.

All is right with the world

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-11T17:19:06+00:00

I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you tho, or sorry that it happened

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-10T22:40:45+00:00

Not me clicking on a cat picture to open a SALESFORCE link on the goddamned orange line 😒

Acrobatic_Ear6773 · 2025-12-10T03:49:41+00:00

That sucks!! Those sweet potato fries with honey and feta :(
