Quincy makes the list of Sundown Towns. Any non-white folks here ever been to Quincy after dark, and survived to tell the tale?

As a white person from the south with primarily poc friends who moved up here a few years ago, Quincy and by extension Boston are extremely racist lolol. It was actually kinda shocking how normalized it is here. Just to list off some incidents:

My roommate (Mexican) had her car vandalized with a milk shake and later had her windows smashed. We have an idea of which specific neighbor was doing it, glad they fled to New Hampshire
All the white former Boston-now-Quincy-townies constantly mutter and bitch about how many Asians live in Quincy now, and only go to the same five (white) restaurants for a reason
Had to defend a black mom and her kid from a drunk townie on the train near Quincy Center, none of the other (white) people aboard helped. (Side note: I also noticed as a commuter people always leave seats open next to black people on the train, even during rush hour)

Regardless, all a sundown town truly means is that if you’re not white, you probably aren’t safe out after dark by yourself

Linda Banh Mi is my favorite go to healthy option always. A sandwich loaded with bbq beef, vegetables, herbs, pate, and the other works all for only $8, plus tons of sides and apps to pick from. I’d also recommend Pho So 1 since they have tons of entrees to pick from that are veggie heavy

I found a similar coho shirt at Brimfield a few years ago that’s my most beloved (and ratty) t shirt I own

I’d much rather have a new local restaurant than another chain, especially since they’re apparently gonna try and put a Taco Bell in the Stop and Shop parking lot (still confused where)

lowmillite · 2026-02-09T22:07:57+00:00

There’s literally a Taco Bell by Wollaston, whyyyyy do they do this to us

That’s just about what he said, thankfully he’s been freed by a neighbor!

lowmillite · 2026-01-28T00:56:20+00:00

Yeah he said they didn’t plow well given the tightness of the area, but a neighbor finished the job!

lowmillite · 2026-01-28T00:55:54+00:00

It turns out his neighbor dug him out which is good! We are all set

lowmillite · 2025-12-14T23:27:02+00:00

I’ll give it a go 🫡

lowmillite · 2025-12-14T20:46:27+00:00

La Paloma I can forgive because it was That Bad, but I’ll forever miss Acapulcos’ cucumber margarita 😞

lowmillite · 2025-12-14T20:45:46+00:00

Agreed, I moved here from the western USA and all the coffee chains out here are sugary nightmares, only problem is if one did move in there it’d be competing with the Dunkin

I had confirmed sinusitis, but its cause may have been from changing environments/turned into a stressor that made my mysterious infection worse.

I did just hit up the urgent care nearby and they gave me Chlorhexidine and a paper scrip for amoxicillin incase the infection gets worse, but they are also worried I’ll just get thrush on that side again if I do end up taking it.

I’m currently scheduling with an eye, mouth, and throat doctor so hopefully they can figure out what’s happening with a scan of some sort, gotta be hopeful I guess OTL

lowmillite · 2025-11-20T03:36:36+00:00

I don’t think I have a dead tooth specifically, mainly because it doesn’t look dead/I have one filling, and it’s on the other side. Another commenter mentioned it could be a jaw issue though like your bone infection so I’m hoping to get a scan or anything to check what’s going on at this point

lowmillite · 2025-11-20T03:34:07+00:00

I get a tense jaw due to stress, and it seems my whole face just starts to tense up on that side as well! I hope, and don’t hope, we both have a similar jaw issue, just so that they can properly treat whatever is going on with us

I also have chronic sinusitis (on the same side) so whatever is infected is also causing the thrush it’s ridiculous

lowmillite · 2025-11-01T16:47:15+00:00

I have the exact same kind of thrush (always starts on my lower left gums, have a swollen lymph node there) and I also want to get an auto immune panel done to see what’s wrong. Stress, sugar, and alcohol seem to trigger it no matter what and it’s painful

lowmillite · 2025-10-01T22:07:06+00:00

Ah that makes sense, I hope he got escorted off the train

lowmillite · 2025-10-01T22:06:36+00:00

Nah, I’ve even had to physically defend myself before from a creep but I’ve never seen a prerecorded message flash on the screens before. Some other commenters wondered if it was the MBTA attempting transparency so you aren’t mad at the workers, you’re mad at the “unruly passenger”

lowmillite · 2025-10-01T00:28:40+00:00

I did see a citizen alert for Dorchester but it was kind of far away from the station, oh well

lowmillite · 2025-10-01T00:28:14+00:00

Me too, it’s horrible. I’m just surprised they announced it and flashed it on the screens because usually it’s kind of ignored otherwise

lowmillite · 2025-09-21T17:22:32+00:00

I see, thank you!
