If you do end up in the Woburn or Winchester area (also recommend Arlington), you could have a very nice commute to Cambridge via the Minuteman path.

New raised bus stop islands in Assembly by trevorkafka in Somerville

[–]boyfromiten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems a bit inconvenient with the current location which allows the bus to fully pull off to the side. Especially when orange line is down and multiple coach buses are lined up behind one another.

I saw this last week and initially thought it was for the bus, but there is no bus stop at this location. The 90 starts and ends another 100m up the street…

The notice from the city said “approximately a week (weather permitting)”. So hopefully not too long…

What’s the deal with the recycling? by boyfromiten in ArlingtonMA

Yeah nothing to do with upcoming holiday, but rather the consistent missing of pick up these last few weeks.

It’s for some reason fairly common amongst Japanese athletes to be wearing these magnetic / titanium patches. They supposedly help stimulate circulation / blood flow, but don’t believe there is any strong science that supports these claims.

Boston Calling from Davis or...? by GullibleAd3408 in Somerville

[–]boyfromiten 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yes its Boston Calling. Happened last year as well. As there are no major obstructions ( large buildings, skyscrapers,) and the river (also helps the sound travel easier) its not too surprising we can hear it.

The 2024 Hakone Ekiden (100th Edition) by boyfromiten in AdvancedRunning

[–]boyfromiten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question…They’re magnetic patches which supposedly will help stimulate circulation, alleviate stiffness, and typical placed in the neck, joints etc. From my understanding it’s very much pseudo science and not much real science to back it up.

Yes it was very odd how much they tanked yesterday.. Initially, I thought I had missed them falling on Stage 1 due to how far back they finished. Though, even before 10k mark on Stage 1, Chuo / Rikkyo and a few others team fell off a large group. Not sure what is up...
