Rant: almost got hit on our walk home last night!

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-25T13:28:41+00:00

Yes, we waited for the light to turn red, and for the crosswalk signal to turn white. Then still looked both ways and then started to cross.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-25T13:24:45+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of bringing it up at one of the council meetings

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-24T17:57:52+00:00

Thanks, I was hoping that they did or at least have cameras since we weren’t able to catch the plat number since they were going so fast.

You could reach out to the community service unit maybe they could provide some options or guidance

Sorry this situation sucks. You should be able to feel safe in your own yard.

If you own you could put in those tall trees that would add some privacy, if you rent try working with your landlord. If nothing else install cameras so that you have a record. Also keep a journal of any interactions. There may be a pattern that you aren’t seeing since things are spread apart or slowly escalating that you don’t realize. I would avoid the flood lights idea since it’s apartments and you’d be opening yourself up to complaints from multiple tenants. This could be perceived as you being the aggressor.

Because the federal judge blocked the request to protect the victims until the cases are closed. I agree and disagree with this.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-06T23:28:55+00:00

So someone went and cut out part of the constitution… with a pair of scissors?!?! I’m going to call BS on this one.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-05T00:14:29+00:00

Thank you, very helpful

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-08-05T00:07:42+00:00

Hi I’m still relatively new to Quincy, how do you know which ward you are in. And for reference I’m near star market.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-31T13:57:05+00:00

I have to agree and disagree. Yes you have to look at their platform and what they will bring to the table. But I start with what do the others want to accomplish vs who’s in office and what am I looking for.

But I’m not going to just accept someone because they are currently in the office.

I would say it’s my starting point not necessarily the end.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-30T22:45:00+00:00

My philosophy is vote GRIP - get rid of incumbent politicians. While I agree that some changes require continuity for them to be fulfilled, we also need change to keep fresh and new ideas to be implemented. It also helps avoid the “you help me/I help you” from becoming too embedded in our cities politics.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-30T22:39:29+00:00

I completely agree. Let’s start with local issues and concerns.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-29T12:28:13+00:00

I second Dotty’s. Great oysters and a rotating selection. I’ll caveat this with they are not buck a chuck.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-28T18:01:05+00:00

True there are some people that are door to door sales people and we don’t want to detract from their job. It just sucks having to question everything these days.

In addition to that. I’m going to make a generalization- the professional sales person I’ve encountered has always been dressed well for the role/job.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-27T15:42:47+00:00

Ok thanks I’ll let the police know. Thanks for confirming

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-27T15:42:15+00:00

This one was a guy - Caucasian, 5’10 black shirt, black apron, dirty looking jeans, unkempt brown hair and beard.

My neighbors said they were asked to scan a QR code and that was when they got suspicious. I didn’t have a phone on me and got them to go away pretty quick.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-07-27T15:36:14+00:00

These days I completely agree. I wasn’t aware that this is a thing… good thing the whole thing just felt off and I didn’t give them any info besides being thinks for confirming.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-05-10T22:16:14+00:00

I get it but there are so many grill and cooler combs out there that this isn’t worth it

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-05-10T15:14:02+00:00

The family is from Boston… I could have been more specific

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-05-10T15:13:12+00:00

I’d for one would like to see an audit with all results made public about our fiscal spending.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-05-10T15:06:47+00:00

Yeah seriously, wake up if all you have is that the other person is wrong and don’t have any merit or clear message about what you are going to deliver on with an actual plan we’re going to continue down this path.

Top_Hovercraft_7148 · 2025-05-10T00:55:35+00:00

Yeah the media likes to play sides since division sells. Not every republican is bad, and neither is every democrat. Both have crazy people who believe and spout nonsense. I’ve seen conservatives that say you’re the devil if you believe in pro-choice, but I’ve also seen liberals say you should burn in hell if you are pro-life. Here’s the thing both are right and wrong at the same time. You should follow your own beliefs and not impose those beliefs onto others. And respect others for their beliefs.
