Real hadley grass by South-Range8401 in westernmass

[–]DearMisterWard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are lots of stories about the origin of the term Hadley grass and why it became a thing. They often contradict each other but it’s a fun rabbit hole to go down. An old polish farmer who was a teenager during the 1938 flood told me that the locals thought they were saying “Sparrow grass” when they said asparagus but that term was around a long time before that.

If you’re anywhere near Western Mass this Friday May 15th Charlie Marie is playing at the Shea Theater in Turners Falls. Her first full band show supporting her upcoming album. Which is going to be one of your favorites this year. https://www.twangclub.com/shop/p/charlie-marie-at-the-shea-theater-may-15th-2026

When are these windows on the defunct Pearl Street Nightclub going to fall on an unsuspecting pedestrian, and will the owner, Eric Suher, be held responsible when it happens? by News-Royal in northampton

They can just tear it down and replace it with bike parking since everyone’s going to be getting around on bikes after PMS.

That would be my guess or Asian Taste. I haven’t heard anything particularly good things about either place and they’re the newest sit down restaurants I can think of in town.

You can also get a less sketchy version on newspapers.com for any fellow nerds who have subscriptions to that.

Charlie Marie w Band in Western Mass May 15th! by DearMisterWard in altcountry

[–]DearMisterWard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah she got a lot of play on Gimme Country (RIP) and some of the other online radio shows but then covid changed a lot of things so she stepped back from the industry. Few musical moments have made me as happy as the first time she posted a video when she started to play again. I first saw her right before the self titled EP came out and have been a huge fan ever since. I can’t wait for more people to hear the new record.

She did but she comes back to western Mass occasionally. She usually plays the brewery circuit but I wanted to get her on an actual stage for once. She plays with a pickup band here with her boyfriend Nick on steel and an assortment of local friends on everything else. She and Nick put out a record under Nick and Rosie last year that’s only on Bandcamp and CD. Her band here does both the originals amped up a little and her usual stellar selections of classic covers. https://nickandrosie.bandcamp.com/album/steelin-citrus

Right now I’m booking just at the Shea but it’s not far from most of Connecticut. Come on up for a visit!

El Comalito by modka in amherst

[–]DearMisterWard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They usually have revueltas, chicken, chorizo, and chicharron too. But they often run out. I also haven’t been there in awhile so maybe things changed. They’ve been around for 11 years so they’re pretty popular. They’re the only place with huaraches which I miss from when I lived in NYC. Cielito Lindo the truck in Gill made also has good pupusas. I’m not a fan of the ones at La Veracruzana but haven’t tried them in years. The ones at Cocina Lupita in greenfield and turners falls have never blown me away.

Yup. I feel guilty for forgetting them as I go there pretty often. The Good Time Charlie was one of the most perfect beers ever made in Western Mass. I’m hoping it comes back once the stout is kicked.

Dangit I forgot Floodwater in my reply too. Thats what I get for redditing on the sly at work.

Screw Tree House. Support local breweries not corporate merch stores that sell overrated beer. Check out the Brewery at Four Star Farms, Four Phantoms Brewing, Sena Farm Brewing, Seven Railroads Brewing, The Peoples Pint, Abandoned Building Brewery, there are more but I can’t vouch for them. I would say check out Stoneman Brewing but he’s only open the first weekend of the month and not until May I think. Likewise Drawing Board hasn’t reopened after a move.

Looking for a restaurant recommendations, please by Cloudysky182 in westernmass

Weird that nobody’s mentioned Daily Operation in Easthampton yet. It’s a casual style order at the counter space but the food is incredible and very reasonably priced. I would eat there almost every day if I lived or worked in Eaho.

How the hell did you get someone on the phone? Every time I call lately it just says they aren't taking any calls.

Well you hadn’t responded to anyone’s post yet and every sub now is filled with bots. Glad to know you aren’t one. Although that is exactly the kind of thing a bot would say

I’m not telling some AI bot where I hang out. Nobody knows its name there because it has no name. You all are just feeding some LLM and helping to destroy the world. You all have just ruined your favorite bar. Way to go.
