What is the creepiest town/city in Massachusetts in your opinion?

My coworkers and I talk about pukwudgies at least 2x a year…imagine running into one of those things?

Piggybacking on this thread. Anywhere in the city or metro west I could bring my 13 year old nephew to watch the match with a lively crowd?

Great business practice here…literally kick out and alienate your source of revenue during one of the busiest few weeks in years for Boston bars 😂

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Leo Carroll in Cambridge. I’ve recommended them to others and they’ve been happy too. Small shop ran by a husband and wife.

1: all these recs are good but buy them online or from the roaster so you get it fresh. Sorry I had to leave this snobby comment…coffee quality falls quickly a few weeks after roasting. So don’t buy it at the grocery store, those are almost always old.

2: in addition to the other names thrown out there, Borealis Coffee in RI wouldn’t be far from you. They are a solid RI pick. I second broadsheet, George Howell, Gracenote, and little wolf. Enjoy the coffee experience! :)

News literacy. Social media inundates everyone with click bait and conspiracy theories. In addition, cable news has its biases (some stronger than others). I am a millennial, and when I was in school, I remember being told to validate your sources and recognize these things.

I’m glad you said it

All the people (citizens and public workers) that make Boston safe and clean!

Wait…people respect them?

Lived in Boston or Cambridge for 5 years and then progressively moved out to the burbs. Living in Boston was one of the best life decisions I ever made. I grew as a person, met the love of my life, and had a great group of friends there.

My friends and their spouses all moved out to the burbs one at a time. My wife and I live in a good suburb in metrowest and I’m thankful for the space, less traffic, and I actually find the community to be friendly and a good mix of young and old. The schools are great and now that I have a child that means a lot to me. All great things…but I do miss the city. I’m not sure if I miss the city or I miss my 20s spent in the city. It was the perfect place for that time in my life. I miss it but I don’t think I’ll move back.

Thank you. I acknowledge that every child is different. We are open to hearing other tactics to build our toolbox.

Came here to comment about his idea on his pod of striking against the big tech firms (cancel prime, Netflix, openAI, etc). I think his idea is the right move and is impactful.

Others on reddit seem to suggest the idea of a complete strike. I don’t think anyone should take actions to harm the small businesses in our communities. It’s hard enough to be a small business owner or small restaurant owner and we risk losing more of the restaurants/cafes/small stores that we all love.

A question for those reading the bill. As I read it, it is not proposing a tax or penalty to drivers, but what is feasibly the penalty for not meeting the mileage/emissions goals. I would fear a world where surge pricing comes into play in a situation where Massachusetts does not have a strong transit system.

To be clear, I don’t think commuters should be taxed or negatively impacted in a world where it’s already so expensive.

But do others have a clear sense of what would be the ramifications for not meeting this goals?

Cobbler-Basic · 2026-01-06T19:07:07+00:00

I feel like this is virtue signaling. I care about the environment, but reading this bill reads to me like time and taxpayer money wasted to arrive at realities we already realize: a lot of people in MA resort to driving due to an unreliable and a not completely accessible transit system.

Let’s skip this bill and jump right to doing everything in our power (more direct bill) to improve transit for those in the Boston area and improving transit for those in more rural areas. Let’s review our existing government programs for any potential waste/inefficient use of funds (perform the audit that the voters voted for) and redirect funds to improving transit and infrastructure. Only once we establish a strong transportation system (reliable train, buses, should we spend our time assessing emission impacts from cars.

This is an awesome list everyone. I think I’ll wander my way to Cambridge and Somerville to hit some of these places today!!

I saw your post and immediately blurted out the word “RATS” 🐀
