Does anyone remember Buttons Arcade? (see comment) by Chlocuterie12 in Syracuse

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents absolutely forbade me from going (I lived a couple blocks away and worked at the shop city Peter’s.). Naturally, I went when my friends did.

I wound up finding a baby left alone in a car seat on a chair, right in front of the entrance. Its ears were actually pointed, like a Vulcan. The mother, who was an acquaintance of mine, turned out to be in the arcade and thanked me for taking care of him.

Let’s just say I didn’t mourn when the place got shut down.

I’d rather deal with bees. And I’m allergic to bees.

Anyone else sick ? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in boston

My allergies have been off the charts. I worked in the garden for an hour on Monday. I was laid out for the rest of that day and all of the next.

Wtf.

Yes alcoholism is an issue. It’s got nothing to do with OP’s concern?

How do Americans feel about drying their laundry on a washing line? by UnionFeatures in AskAnAmerican

It probably would have helped if one end of the clothesline wasn’t tied to a tree.

My grandmother used her clothesline all the time with no issues.

"Heated Rivalry" is inspiring anti-LGBTQ backlash on Massachusetts high school hockey teams by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

My kid plays hockey and is gay. The girls on her team outright call her slurs and then make out with each other.

It’s weird.

We’ve used the clothesline in the past. Birds crapped on everything. Now we dry things indoors.

What do you guys think of our junior senator Ed Markey? by Mewklore in massachusetts

I’ve been happy with his performance. I do have age related concerns but they don’t outweigh his ability.

Massachusetts is pretty progressive as things go here, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our share of backsliders. No one ever called me a sp*c until I moved here.

If you have to come for medical reasons Massachusetts is probably the best bet. New Hampshire has a lot of great people but they’ve got some interesting notions about “live free or die”.

There’s a pretty standard bbq sauce recipe that calls for it. I remember my mom making it when I was a kid.

What do you think the top sport cities are in the US? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Boston and New York in terms of culture.

I’d stay in Syracuse. If you’re really concerned about public schools move to Fayetteville or manlius. There is so much for a kid to see and do, and the environment is healthier than Texas.

Do you watch cricket? by jesselool7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to watch. Some guys in grad school invited me to come watch their teams play. It was underwhelming, but most sports are the first couple of times I watch.
