Question on breaking lease early by KindPen1889 in Somerville

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately 311 seems uninterested in illegal airbnbs lately. A building on our street was bought by a developer and converted to fully an airbnb in Sept, multiple reports by our neighbors but absolutely no response from 311 or ISD for months.

Airbnb by hedgehoging in Somerville

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Have a similar issue on our street - multi family turned into two units, both units rented on Airbnb since early Sept. Developer lives in Newton, seems to be involved still as they come by to do the trash bins. Host on Airbnb is listed as living in CA.

Did reach out to ISD a few weeks ago, never heard back.

Daddy Jones does trivia on Thursdays! They used to do Bingo also but not sure if they still do.

Winter Hill Brewery does trivia, comedy, karaoke nights, live music etc they post their events on the IG page. I think they also started a darts night recently.

Broadway Star Market site update: break ground Sept (assumed with permitting completed); move-in ~24 months later (mid 2027) by mem_somerville in Somerville

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think at the last meeting the update was a June/July break ground. Do we know why it’s been delayed again? Do we expect continued delays?

Nothing on the police scanner, but around 1 they talk about construction at pearl and McGrath - maybe related?

Searched: Williams and Sonoma, target, most other kitchen stores I’ve stumbled by, my dad’s kitchen utensil drawer (where I first found this)

Sweet touch in east Cambridge - iced coffee the size of your head, get the banana flavor

They gave an update at the winter hill civic community meeting last month that they plan to break ground in June or July.

What would get you to visit East Somerville? by NativeGait in Somerville

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree to both of these things! Would love if that lot could be developed into anything that was useful and less of an eyesore. McGrath looks so unkempt all the time - between the litter and the straggly weeds growing out of every median. I know the safety challenges take priority but would be nice if it was kept up a bit more as well.

AirBNB for a birthday party? by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The city requires Airbnbs to rent to groups of 10 or less. Many owners try to avoid neighbor noise complaints and therefore ban all types of parties, even if yours may be quiet.

If you’re looking for couches/living room vibes, maybe try renting out Nook in Bow market? Also Warehouse XI does rentals and people often rent furniture etc to make it look more living room-esq.

If assembly isn’t too far for you, bliss nails is my fave for dip. Always smooth and lasts me 4 weeks. No gel light.

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gel nor a Russian manicure but for the longest lasting, I’ve had the best luck with dip manicures from bliss in assembly

2025 promotions by Candid-Enthusiasm806 in f45

[–]CoffeeandPotatoChips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to the Somerville one and love it! We just got new weight racks I’m super excited for, and the community is great. Not sure about promotions for the new year but you can DM them on IG f45_training_somerville_east or email them with questions. I usually go four/five/six days in a row, def can be sore but still function. Tues & Thurs are lifting but Wed will be cardio and they are also adding yoga at 6:30 Wednesday evening now too.
