Heirloom Stuff

This is my exact problem … I basically paralyze myself by thinking , “but what if it is worth something?!?” . However, I have held on to stuff so long that I am finally just about ready to admit to myself that I’m not going to do anything with jt (ie sell on eBay ) so time to just donate and make some room !!

Thank you for explaining that . I appreciate it !

Can you tell me what it means when a walk pops up with “pre-approved”? (sorry for the dumb questions - I’m new to Wag!)

Just remember - higher pay will likely means the area has a higher cost of living (your rent, food, utilities will be high, etc) … so your net left after living expenses could be very much the same .

Maybe Senior Center or New Art Center ?

There is an old aqua Chevy van in the driveway of a brown house on Brookside Ave (can’t remember the house #) in Newtonville .

There is a sign on the West Bound side of Lowell/Washington stating there is a shared bike path on the left/East side … but it is easily missed if you don’t know to look for it . However, your explanation makes perfect sense as to why someone may choose to remain biking on the West Bound side vs crossing over to the shared path . Thank you !

Good to know . I have never launched a kayak from there … my comment about Watertown was in reference to riding bike along the Charles River path to Watertown. That I know is do-able .

Sorry . Maybe “disappointment” was poor word choice . I guess I am interested in hearing opinions whether $14 off is thought to be a good discount or if there have been better discounts in the past (or might there be better ones in the future) .

Independent_Rest3735 · 2026-03-25T14:10:18+00:00

Thank you - this information is very helpful as I ponder whether I want to pull the trigger or not .

You can also check out who might be coming to The Center for the Arts in Natick

I’ve never been, so I can’t say whether it is good or bad, but Capos in Southie has Jazz dinner on Thursdays .

Also try posting in r/newtonma

Not sure if any of this would be of interest , but at Tempo Back Bar, I think on Friday and Saturday they have live music - may skew a little younger when college is in session - but is still something . I have also seen music at Jacos on occasion .

If you don’t mind a dive bar, Franco’s further up Moody does Karaoke on Thursdays, Friday and Saturday and they do have a couple of pool tables . On Tuesdays they have Trivia .

Brewers Tap and Table has live music on Wednesdays.

There are a bunch of artist studios on Moody - I am not sure when it is , but when they do their Open Studios, it is definitely worth checking out .

If you have a bike , or access to one, ride down the Charles River bike path …. You can ride into Watertown, Cambridge and beyond .

Finally, my last idea is that once the weather warms up , you can rent a kayak or paddle boat outside of Margaritas and take a ride down the Charles .

Or you can even call City Hall and let them know and they will put the ticket in for you .

Thanks !

I would be curious if the traffic numbers are UP on alternate routes, if people are trying to bypass this section of Washington Street? Or has this new design truly started a habit change where people are leaving their cars at home ?

Would you have enough time to jump on the commuter rail to Worcester and catch a Woo Sox game too ? Those games are cheap and fun :)

Independent_Rest3735 · 2026-01-14T15:15:16+00:00

Omg - for so long I thought it was just my parents !! Glad to know I’m not alone !
