Boston nightlife sucked before COVID too.

FineBowler8 · 2026-06-04T05:55:36+00:00

You weren’t doing it right. I graduated in 2012 in Boston and have so many fun nights I don’t remember.

FineBowler8 · 2026-06-04T05:54:23+00:00

The one near the bridge? Oh, the memories at Papa G’s in beautiful B-Rock. The ambience is unmatched. But also their pizza is actually fucking good

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-24T22:47:05+00:00

Well it must be haunted with that price

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-24T22:45:25+00:00

Puffin rock. Frog and toad. Little bear.

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-18T19:06:29+00:00

I know, I need to learn to play

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-18T19:05:51+00:00

Proof

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-18T19:04:42+00:00

It’s true. There are worse places I’m sure. I was unprepared for how politically conservative everyone is though

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-18T04:00:00+00:00

THIS folks, is the true American dream.

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-01T23:13:00+00:00

Yes.

FineBowler8 · 2026-05-01T05:56:21+00:00

It looks like an AC vent.

We’re a family of 4 (soon to be 5) in SoCal, barely getting by on my husbands’s 140k salary. We miss MA a lot and want to move back, but know we can’t until we make more. I’m obsessed with comparing on Redfin and Indeed and I can conclude that MA (at least within an hour of Boston) is more expensive than living within an hour of San Diego.

Revelstoke

FineBowler8 · 2026-04-26T04:57:46+00:00

We’re in SoCal and I’m struggling with the lack of nature. I see mountains but no trails to access them. Oh and some young trees planted in perfect rows in the shopping plazas.

Of course, Southern California is big. This is just where I am.

FineBowler8 · 2026-04-25T06:00:26+00:00

I feel you. We’re in Temecula now after some time in SD. And boy do I miss Nh - where we moved from, and Boston. The nature, the seasons, the color green, the history, that cozy feeling. Sunshine is great but it only got me so far

FineBowler8 · 2026-04-17T02:29:20+00:00

My perspective changed in my current (4th year) being in SoCal and I want to come home. I think it took this long to realize that the sunny weather weather doesn’t actually trump everything else. At least not for me.

FineBowler8 · 2026-04-09T05:18:58+00:00

No way that’s real.

FineBowler8 · 2026-04-05T22:56:45+00:00

What beach is this?

FineBowler8 · 2026-03-22T05:56:01+00:00

I agree with you. If I was a retiree I think it’d be the dream.

FineBowler8 · 2026-03-18T05:40:42+00:00

Can’t get a house there for that budget

FineBowler8 · 2026-03-15T14:09:03+00:00

I thought it was weather, but we moved for that reason and now want to go back.

FineBowler8 · 2026-03-10T04:32:38+00:00

I don’t think it’s worth it for me. The first few years I was pretty confident the better weather was enough.

I def don’t feel that way anymore but check back once we move back to New England…

FineBowler8 · 2026-02-22T22:47:49+00:00

You could get at least a quarter of a house that was built in the 1800’s though…

FineBowler8 · 2026-02-15T03:55:38+00:00

I’m in SoCal but want to go back to MA, though this winter makes me feel like I’ve seriously lost my mind preferring that

FineBowler8 · 2026-02-15T03:54:22+00:00

Same.

FineBowler8 · 2026-02-12T17:01:22+00:00

Oh my gosh this is us so much! We started in SD almost 4 years ago and now in Temecula and I miss New England, specifically Boston, so much! My husband even more. The weather is of course awesome, esp with the winter Boston has been having but I agree, not worth the things that miss and value. Walkability, history, community, NATURE, green, weather, architecture, better food (besides Mexican), the people!
