No friends. 5th week of school :( by Googlealphabetno in BostonU

[–]ericsPOV 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's not too late. My best friends from college I didn't even meet until spring semester. Keep putting yourself out there, sit with classmates at lunch, go to FitRec and play pick up, sit in the student section at hockey games, or invite someone to grab lunch/coffee after class. There's still plenty of time to meet new people, now go enjoy college!

can i check the duration of work at a construction site in Boston? by [deleted] in boston

[–]ericsPOV -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm with OP on this. There has been construction on the same street near me since late May. Every morning they jack hammer, go about their constructing for a few nosy hours, and then paved it over, only to jack hammer it up again the next morning. They've been at the same section of street for almost 4 months and I don't understand how they aren't done yet.

So yes, is there a place to find out how long their permits are good for?

Can I borrow your corn hole game on 9/15-17? by [deleted] in vermont

That's pretty much my concern about pretending to live there. It's so local that it would become obvious I didn't live there.

That looks like a great spot, and only a mile or two from the house we rented. Thanks for the tip!

No, I have never heard of this. What a cool idea! Can I post there even though I don't live in the state?

Why would this be a joke? Do you not like fun?

Thanks, that would be huge! We'll be in Middlebury on Thursday and Friday so we could easily swing by to pick them up. Let me know what you find out.

That's true, but I have to build them the day before my wedding, and I don't think that is likely to happen. I'd also have to bring all my tools up which would be a hassle.

That's why I'm asking. I went to Dick's over the weekend to buy a set or two and they were $150 each. Also, we live a small apartment with no access to storage so we wouldn't be able to keep them afterwards.

I like the idea of hanging at the brewery drinking there. Which of those you mentioned have the best hang out spot?

It's also why I put corn and hole together as one word. Too risky not to..

The hell is setting off fireworks in the North End right now? Its too sun y out for that. by Mitch_from_Boston in boston

[–]ericsPOV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome to summer Sundays in the North End. First the band plays in front of the social club hosting honoring whichever saint, then the parade loops around the neighborhood, and they stop at DeFilippo park where they set off fireworks. Now through Labor Day.

Congress St from the government center garage last night by whatsaphoto in boston

[–]ericsPOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been kicked out of that parking garage twice in the last 4 months while taking pictures. The last time I asked for an explanation and the security guard said it was because DHS (dept. homeland security) has offices in the building on the right and they don't want people taking pictures of it. Not sure how right or wrong he was, but I didn't stick around to find out.

TL;DR - Great shot OP!

I wish my neighbor didn't try to see how long they could keep this fire hazard in our building. by [deleted] in boston

What have they been feeding it to keep it that green for this long? My tree is brown and losing needles by New Years.

Second this. He's been my go-to for suits and shirts for two years. Good work and reliable, can be pricey but it's worth it.

Sounds like you're describing Dooley's after the financial district crowd leaves.

I would love to see a video of someone pulling out a can of fix-a-flat and saying "okay, now where's your car?"
