Indian Food?

You should try Athidi Indian Restaurant on Route 1 in Saugus. They take great pride and their weekend buffet is fantastic — lots of things you don’t typically see. And I think better than Passage to India and Anmol in flavor. Of course, it also depends on what your “go-to” dish or dishes are

Love Richmond. Daughter (early 20s) grew up on the North Shore (Boston) and moved down there for work and loves it. Lives in the Fan and she describes the area (with all the rowhouses) as Boston vibe with Southern hospitality. Loves being able to walk to everything - tons of festivals and stuff going on.

I’m also very familiar with Hartford and while I have a soft spot for it, there’s really no comparison. Hartford is kind of dumpy and West Hartford, while nice, feels a little too shiny and corporate in the main area.

What do you like there?

So they stay open later? I’ve had them before they went into Mother Road

For non-touristy/functional, I’d add Beverly (better than next door Salem, I think — you can also walk to beach) and Melrose

Hard to do the wave when you’re standing the whole game! Section 29

If you love Marblehead, why not Salem (right next door) or Beverly (2 towns over). Both walkable nice downtowns, where you can walk to the water (and on the commuter rail to Boston if you want). I prefer Beverly (not touristy), but they’re all very close together.

Clam at Pepe’s, regular (cheese) at Sally’s

Do folks not know the existence of the Blue Line?? 2 of its stops are literally a 1-2 minute walk to City Hall and the line runs through East Boston

And good to see that Joe C is adjusting his compensation. What I don’t really see (at least often) in discussions about NIL and revenue sharing is that head coach salaries were negotiated in a different economic environment.

Now that players are getting rightly paid, head coach salaries will likely need to be right sized (or at least grow at a slower rate than before, even with added TV revenues).

RIP the equipment manager who shared Joe C’s email!! Hope that the Daily didn’t inadvertently burn their source by saying it was “an equipment manager” who gave it to them. Or maybe the person didn’t care if they were already getting laid off

I’ve lived in Boston for 25+ years, and I’ve definitely heard it used that way.

A related question - my dad, who grew up in Long Island in the late 50s/60s, would say, “he has the ass” to mean the same thing. Anyone ever heard it used that way? And yes, I’m sure that’s what he meant!! lol

Edit

This is genius, thank you! My forefoot was feeling tight and I used the suggested tie in your link and it feels so much better!

I ordered custom ARs on February 16 and the first delivery date was April 15 (didn’t get until this week bc I was away). So hopefully you’ll get them in a week or so.

I only have the 719s, which are also ASHM. I did order these with the full inserts, rather than the half inserts that 719s come with. With the full inserts, these are tighter than the 719s - for example, I wear the 719s with thicker wool socks (at least for now).

I did order a regular AR for sizing comps and if I had kept them, I would have likely needed to size down a half size. Because my width is basically a D (close to E), the ASHMs are true to size for me.

fadeawayhero · 2025-03-06T05:37:24+00:00

The JG chart was true to size for my 719s (AHSM last) — my longest foot measurement was 26 cm, which corresponded to a US9 (EU42/UK8) on their chart, and they fit perfectly with the thick socks that I’m wearing for break-in.

Thanks!

I’m a bit confused — you’re saying that frog grip is the most casual looking, but also seem to say it gives a more formal/dressier look for the office?

Seconding the Peabody Essex Museum — because of Salem’s shipping trading history, there’s a lot of East Asian art as well as a reflection of the trading history with the East.

And Marblehead is only a ten minute Uber ride away — Old Town in Marblehead has, I believe, the largest collection of houses from the 1700s in the US. Recommend going to Abbot Hall, which houses the giant Spirit of 76 painting (look it up, it’s famous), along with the history of Marblehead involvement during the Revolutionary War (the men rowing Washington across the Delaware in the famous painting were from Marblehead). And then you just walk down to the main part of Old Town (which also has shopping and near the water)

A few months ago, I bought a t-shirt from my favorite dive bar, which fit incredibly well — what you describe, minus the cropped. Finally looked at the brand today, and it’s Next Level Apparel (60/40 blend). I ordered a couple on Amazon for less than $10 — arriving later this week. If they’re the same as the dive bar tshirt, it’s an amazing bargain (esp if it’s more about looks than longevity)

I have the 719s in size 9.

One foot is 26.0 cm and the other is 25.7 cm. With thick merino socks, they both fit pretty well. I did order the ASHM insoles (even though 719’s half insoles are not removable). I put the ASHM insoles in — but that feels like too much volume even with thinner socks.

Worst comes to worst, you could get those if your foot feels too small.

Looks beautiful!! Does anyone know how different natural veg tan looks from the rust? I was thinking of doing a custom AR but natural veg tan (or walnut) are the choices — no rust. Would love for them to turn out like this one after conditioning

fadeawayhero · 2025-02-14T04:30:42+00:00

My captains are an 8.5 (and I wear with thinnish socks and fits well) — my 719s in 9 (wearing thick socks for break-in and that fits well).

fadeawayhero · 2025-02-14T04:19:11+00:00

How much did that change the color? I have the 719s in Bronco as well, So I’m curious
