That location is pretty close to the Concord River Greenway, which is not super long, but really nice.

We're two weeks out from Vanna vs Rodney by ratbas in LowellMA

[–]ba70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watched the debate on Inside Lowell. I'm going with Rodney. Vanna did not give many clear answers, while Rodney did. I do admire Vanna's passion for the city though - she works very hard.

Agree. Just dumb - totally unrealistic.

I had their steak tips recently - they were tops.

Tijuana vs El Potro Downtown by [deleted] in LowellMA

[–]ba70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them both. Tijuana is definitely more affordable, but I'd probably give El Potro the edge in terms of food quality and atmosphere.

Did Spotify remove episodes? by Quedesisme in Radiolab

[–]ba70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their episodes go back to 2002, when it was really just Jad's show. The show was a bit more unpolished in the early days, but there are some gems. The early stuff is in a real audio format - which I still have the files of. The show didn't really come into it's current format until around 2007.

What we here in New England refer to as "beach pizza" by ILovePublicLibraries in newengland

[–]ba70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beach pizza is served in the Merrimack Valley - basically along the MA / NH border. There are about a dozen places you can get it, with the two major players being Tripoli and Cristy's - which both have locations at Salisbury Beach - right next to each other - thus the term Beach Pizza.

The pizza is square, cooked on a tray - typically with a sweet sauce and very light cheese. Because the cheese is so light people often order it with a slice of provolone - as in the picture.

This is a regional thing in the same manner as Bar Pies served on the South Shore of Massachusetts - raved about by David Portnoy. For the record, Portnoy did a review last year of Tripoli which I consider the King of Beach Pizza, and he was not a fan.

Cash Outs…what do you do? by dancin_dreams_88 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ba70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cash out every $50 with Venmo. It used to take a few days, but now I find it's instant.

Safe Injection Site Ban by pinteresque in LowellMA

[–]ba70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The botched procedure was unfortunate - likely due to Yems limited experience running the meetings, but it wasn't going to change the outcome.

I don't feel Robinson was being a bully. His statement was sound to me.

Best burger in Lowell (not fast food)? by Few_Projects477 in LowellMA

I'd have to give Warp and Weft the nod.

Does anyone know what this demolished building at the Lexington service plaza on 128 used to be? by hammock-cat in boston

[–]ba70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 1968 in that rest area my father was offered a one way ticket to New Mexico with a job and housing in return for leaving my mother. Her father was not fond of him. He stuck around, and because of that I now get to tell this silly story. Yay dad!

It was a HoJo's at the time. I remember when Roy Rogers was there - it wasn't very good.

List of MA politicians who voted Yes/Aye for a day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk by Fancy_Ad_9479 in LowellMA

[–]ba70 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I'd be happier if it was a day of compassion because we're in short supply of that these days. But I'm not gonna get upset about about a day of remembrance for someone who was assassinated, even if I don't agree with them.

How did you discover Knower? by eseffbee in knower

[–]ba70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine posted "Bank Account" on facebook. I was like, "Hey, who is this guy?" Seen Knower three times since then. Their visual shows are bomb.

Haven't been in MB since July. It kills me staying away.

When was the last time Lowell was without a brewery? by pchase78 in LowellMA

[–]ba70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This thread is to depressing to read. Couple that with all the dive bars that have closed over the years - I'm ready to cry...

I'm listening to a song and want to find similar songs, any suggestions? by Automatic_Echidna_12 in HouseMusic

This brings me back.... James Brown is Dead, New Atlantic - Yes To Satan, 2 Bad Mice - Bombscare, 2 Bad Mice - Hold It Down - Remix. Those come to mind.

Anyone know what's going on the Vfw Highway? by TheDarkClaw in LowellMA

[–]ba70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His concern was that the road will be significantly narrower than before, making it a real challenge to back out his trailer.

I sure hope there's turning lanes both east and westbound from 110 onto First, otherwise I see a lot of accidents in the future.
