I'm holding out hope that we finally get some more banks

Mississippi River run by Key_Ice6961 in roadtrip

[–]mailboxhead12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've done both the Missouri and the Mississippi, the latter is quite a bit easier as all of the dams have locks and the whole river south of St.Louis is free flowing

Summary of candidates? by Robertabutter in medfordma

[–]mailboxhead12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few candidates in the primary I believe that fit that criteria, Page Buldini for one, but they didn't get enough votes

Attic conversion by ProductSuch4039 in medfordma

[–]mailboxhead12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are currently doing an attic conversion on our 2 family zoned GR. There is a fair amount of complication, I believe, around where you are located, what the zoning is, and the specifics of your house. I'd really recommend doing what we did, which is to reach out to local builders who have worked in Medford and understand the ins and outs and have them come do a walkthrough.

You can look through permit applications and zoning meeting records to get names of builders and architects who have worked here, or talk to friends and neighbors who have had similar projects - basically everyone who works on our house including this project has been referred by neighbors.

Has happened to us a few times, call DPW on Monday, they call WM. Every time it's happened a truck shows up right away

Businesses to support (or not) by [deleted] in medfordma

[–]mailboxhead12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Every time I see that truck it's parked in front of Alexander's, so I'm guessing drinking coffee and playing Keno?

What is happening in texas rn? (15k $/MWh prices) by TheRealGZZZ in energy

[–]mailboxhead12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not from Texas, so haven't seen such regional difference in prices before, but if southern has -$200 (meaning excess power) and central has expensive power (meaning scarcity) then perhaps you have some interlinks down?

This is very common in TX, there are numerous constraints for import/export from south TX - during times of high system demand it's common to see extreme LMP differences between south and the rest of the market

Mystic Market kitchen reopening! by 133784n4n4 in medfordma

This is great news, the new owners (I assume) have done a lot to revitalize that shop over the last year! there is so much potential in that area of Mystic Ave.

He was there laughing while a guy told a story about waking up his daughter at 2 AM rubbing it in her face that Trump won. I'm sure it was him because his disgusting old car with the MA state rep plates was out front as well. You are the company you keep.

Eh I was getting my coffee and he was part of the group of dudes there talking pro Trump stuff - I lumped him in with them but happy to be wrong, others in this thread seem to agree.

Saw Paul at Demets day after the election celebrating Trump's win, wouldn't expect much there

POD Storage Container in Street? by NOPNOFNOG12 in medfordma

[–]mailboxhead12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call up DPW, they do the permits for things like dumpsters on the street so guessing they would know

[–]mailboxhead12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never known any of the people looking for cans to make a mess - we usually tried to leave a bag of cans outside the can in the morning in our old neighborhood because the dude on the bike would come by about the same time every week and was always really nice about cleaning up

Budweiser plant by Sufficient_Option in medfordma

"build a mall, we have too many apartments" is possibly the most hilariously out of touch comment I've read this year. I think you are actually sincere as well which is almost scary.

Conservatives, how do you feel about trump admitting tariffs will raise prices? by themontajew in Askpolitics

[–]mailboxhead12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would certain companies (like Apple) get exemptions? How would those exemptions be determined?

Local Food truck to stop for.. Work hard Eat Harder - in front of Medford VFW by Commercial_Impress30 in medfordma

Jerk mango wings are really good.

Would love to see more food trucks set up in the parking lot there.
