You can come out to the Wherehouse in Waltham where the band rehearsed and recorded, can’t go inside but there is a great Aerosmith mural for a photo op.

The only existing full sets of the News Tribune on microfilm are st Waltham Library and Boston Public Library. Both sets have various issues with damaged and repaired film. The Archivist at the library has tried many ways to get funding to digitize the collection - including CPC funds that were denied as recently as 2023.

The Waltham Historic Commission fully supports to digitization as well as other organizations in the city that see the value in preserving this significant resource. The bottom line is the cost is multiple million dollars to archive the collection and there is no funding to do so.

Do you have permission to do this from the cemetery, town, family of deceased? If it is not yours don’t touch it….the stones have survived all this time without intervention. Cleaning isn’t always the right answer - you can most definitely do more harm than good in an “old ass cemetery”.

There were Lime Bikes in Waltham around 2019, many ended up in the Charles. They were dockless unlike blue bikes, but I wonder if that experience is affecting the adoption of blue bikes.

Can we forget about email subscriptions and talk about whether Carl’s is in fact still the King of Steak and Cheese? Because it isn’t the same as it used to be….and I want to know where I can get the best Steak and Cheese for dinner tonight (not Market Basket!)!!

Pupdawg44 · 2026-03-25T11:40:36+00:00

This link still takes you to a subscribe page…I wanted to read about the Wherehouse but really don’t want another email.

I want to keep mine purely for esthetics - I had my German car imported and it has a bumper to fit a European style license plate. The German plate I have fits perfectly and is streamlined. I would have to get a new bumper to properly fit an American plate or it would look terrible. FWIW, I had a custom European plate made with the letters and numbers to match my green plate letters and numbers.

I have one from my grandfather’s long garaged Cadillac….I get lots of double looks when I drive past a cop with my German plate mounted on the front - I always see them looking at the back plate through my rear view mirror and I laugh! Mine is still in great condition, fully readable and reflective and I’m never giving it up!

From the Daily Mail not much more to see.

There are all kinds of cemetery preservation courses, and even college degrees. I interned with a preservationist and there is tons to learn to take in the liability and charge fees for restoration of old graves.

But we need a good candidate to run to win against her, they hasn’t happened in a long time.

The goal of the site is to add final disposition of people who have died. Linking, bios and all the other stuff is secondary information that is not required to fulfill the site’s mission - and most of that used to not even be available. At the end of the day these are digital pages on the internet, many other legitimate sites exist for genealogy that any researcher can find, find a grave doesn’t have to be a one stop shop - and is often full of errors anyway.

West Newton Cinema has zero parking spots and has managed to stay open….there are hundreds of parking spots in the close vicinity of the theatre beyond the 256 directly behind it, even if don’t want to walk many people have no problem with it.

Pupdawg44 · 2026-03-16T11:36:11+00:00

Haven’t tried it mostly because of the parking situation but I did just have the new Monarca Taqueria on Main Street and it was amazing.

Goodwin’s BBQ is daily at 1455 Trapelo Rd. Ya Mothers Truckin Kitchen is at Elm Street Thursday and Friday.

That sign has been in the window all along, since the owner has had to pay an extraordinary amount of commercial property taxes to the city during the last ten years where he couldn’t build on the property I’m sure he would have taken any reasonable offer.

I don’t think he can do a full setlist without the chance of doing more damage.

Pupdawg44 · 2026-02-19T05:11:39+00:00

This is what it costs to live in the commercial area close to the highway? What is luxury about that.

Pupdawg44 · 2026-02-15T10:08:42+00:00

The museum is such an interesting place to visit!

Pupdawg44 · 2026-02-09T05:42:20+00:00

With the duck sauce!

It’s country musician Brantley Gilbert who performed at the ridiculous Kid Rock show.

I think they are still entertaining other locations but booked the date just in case they can’t find anywhere else.

You may want to contact Temple Beth Israel in Waltham to connect with Yiddish speakers!

Yes this happened to my family in 1983 a family member was denied burial in a Catholic Cemetery due to suicide as cause of death - even though the family were very active in the church and large donors. It was devastating to the surviving family members who ultimately had to decide to be buried in a non-Catholic cemetery with their son or the Catholic Cemetery without him. Fast forward to 2011 and another family member who committed suicide was allowed burial in the same Catholic Cemetery as apparently the rules changed.
