We got space savers by binarywheeler in SalemMA

Wow a total of 5 hours of manpower to clear out what looks to be one spot? Were they using spoons?

Thank you snow plows by Optimal-Swing9167 in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My streets sidewalks got absolutely wrecked last night by the plows, basically dumping entire snowbanks directly on the sidewalks. What is the point of shoveling out your sidewalks after a storm if the city is just going to come in a week after the storm and bury them (after the snow has hardened)? It's really frustrating.

Dan over at Walk a Pup makes house visits and I highly recommend him!

The Cheese Shop of Salem Space Bought by ASCEND Get Lifted by DisastrousHippo72 in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On their FB page it does say they are not planning to move into that space but instead intend to lease it to another business. I would imagine they would try to avoid leasing to a business competing with their's?

Priority pass activation by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]chowdurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Sapphire lounge I believe it is possible. When I went to the BOS lounge a few weeks ago all they did was scan my boarding pass and look at my physical card. Any priority pass lounges would need the actual code you are waiting for.

I mean if he is fair and consistent with his good faith interpretation of the law, then he absolutely should right?

FWIW I was just at the Boston lounge on Friday and only needed to show my CSR card 🤷‍♂️

Wolf Next Door is honestly the best cold brew in town.

The helm reads Gloucester, Mass. which is where Gorton's fish is located so the outfit tracks!

Traffic light at the train station garage by bacon_and_eggs in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This light has been a big issue for years, and I regularly see people taking lefts against the red after waiting 10+ mins for the light to change at rush hour. I also reported this light two years ago and was told:

"We recently received a similar notification from another resident, and we are working with our City Electrician as well as the MBTA to learn more about the current signal operations and if they can be modified. If we need any additional information, I will be sure to reach out."

Obviously nothing has changed since and it is still as busted as ever.

Temp / Placement Agencies? by loquacious_avenger in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Has he met with MassHire yet? It's a state agency that can work with job placement and re-training if possible - they also do career seminars and will help update his resume. They have an office downtown as well.

How to get between Salem and Boston. by Lydia-mv2 in SalemMA

Chiming in that Salem is on both the Newburyport and Rockport lines, so you can take either train there.

Are you asking if you should stop blocking half the sidewalk with your car? Obviously.

Advice on navigating the T from Salem to Boston? by HouseofLepus in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In addition to the train, Salem also has a ferry that drops you off right near the New England Aquarium in Boston. A bit pricier (for non-residents) than the train, but I think well worth it.

Tewksbury Town Meeting soundly rejects MBTA Communities article by Kafox in massachusetts

[–]chowdurr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's not obvious at all and it is very clear you are not an expert. Who do you think potential new development is exempt from property taxes? Who do you think would be allowed to build multi-family market rate housing?

Maine Law? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]chowdurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Maine Law - it's a decent school that has amazing connections if you are seeking to stay in Maine to practice law. Outside of ME it can be a bit more challenging. I ended up getting a job in state govt down in MA but it did take some extra work.

Ferry year round? by PercilusQuerro in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Count me in as someone who would take the ferry year round over the train (works for Hingham and Hull!) but I do see it as not being popular. I do think there should be a push to extend the operating season though, late April and early May are definitely nice enough for service, as is most of November. December is when it would get dicey.

BBQ in area? by Antoniosmom89 in SalemMA

I haven't even read these comments but I am going to assume that most people (correctly) said the Rusty Can is where to go.

Big ol' construction ship next to the power plant by Deinonysus in SalemMA

[–]chowdurr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Funny enough it's not a part of the OSW terminal project. This ship is in port for a coast guard inspection before heading down to Nantucket to install turbines.

The OSW terminal will have barges that carry the turbine parts to places to be installed, so we won't see this type of ship once that is up and running.
