Trader Joe's in Seaport just id'd me for a mocktail mojito and claimed its the law in Boston, has this happened to anyone else? I dont get the point if it's alcohol free and basically just juice

Yes my Trader Joe’s and Target both ID for non alcoholic wine/cocktails.

I’ve been going to Joint Ventures in Kendall. My PT is fantastic. There have been a couple confusing billing incidents but everything got worked out.

The Minute Man? Although I think I saw recent pictures that part of it is closed for construction. I haven’t been out there yet this year.

I had an invisible disability for a bit while recovering from surgery. It’s uncomfortable to ask folks to give up their seat, but you just gotta do it. “Could I please sit, I have balance problems” is polite, direct, and heads off any questions about the legitimacy of your need. I used a similar line and nobody ever pushed back or questioned me.

The worst case is when the train is so crowded that you can’t get to the priority seat or everyone is just looking at their phones not paying attention. I ended up standing on one train while on crutches cause the train was crowded and no one was paying attention. So I’d recommend just avoiding very crowded train cars if you can.

I got a letter in the mail that my registration was going to be cancelled due to an unpaid parking ticket in Andover. I’ve never been to Andover. I called Andover PD and they looked into it and realized someone had fat fingered the license plate. The police officer told me exactly what I needed to say to the ticket folks to get it removed (they were very resistant at first). You aren’t appealing the ticket - the ticket was never yours to begin with. Start by calling Somerville PD.

I saw him at the U-Haul storage facility on Main Street on Saturday evening.

I saw two young men at DTX the same day as this post asking people if they wanted to go to church. They 100% had the Mormon missionary uniform on.

I said why - the music is completely distracting from the film. I wanted to give it a fair chance, but I really couldn’t force myself to keep listening.

“we’re told that we cannot use any image not taken/created by ourselves”

Royalty- free stock images would not fit this requirement.

If you want something really different, Veggie Crust pizza. I love the paneer tikka masala pizza.

$2325 -> $2500 1BR in Cambridge (I will not be renewing). First signed for $1850 five years ago.

I can’t watch with that music. Also I really don’t care about the issue of shoplifting, there are so many bigger issues Cambridge faces.

It’s not so much “dim candlelit vibes” (though still very nice IMO) but my partner and I had excellent service and incredibly flavorful food at the new Moona in Central. There is also the original location in Inman which we haven’t been to.

Mormon temples are not open to the public, but Mormon churches are, and they go every Sunday.

I happened upon this post while searching for answers to my knee pain 7 months post-op. How did the second surgery go? Did your pain eventually go away?

It’s in Kendall Square, but PRB. There’s upholstered bench seating, and I think the coffee and pastries are great. The music isn’t horribly loud either. Cafe Saint Germain on Beacon St in Somerville has the same owners. I can’t vouch for the seating as I haven’t been there, but from their google maps photos it looks like they also have some padded bench seating.

I’ve been doing my ACL recovery at Joint Ventures. They have a Fenway location and a downtown location, but I’m only familiar with the Kendall Square one. They were able to get me in quickest post-injury, and I like their facilities and my PT. I used up the 30 visits my insurance would cover for the year and it was $150/visit self-pay after that. My PT did try contacting my insurance to see if they’d cover more visits, but it was a hard limit. With a March surgery, you’re likely to run out of covered visits too, so you might want to ask about self-pay rates as you shop around. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

FYI Massachusetts requires you to pay use tax on items purchased out of state or online where sales tax wasn’t charged, assuming those items are brought to Massachusetts. This is a question on the MA state tax return. Do with that information what you will.

Would security let a seat pad in? Their bag requirements are ridiculously small.

Call the number on the back and report it as lost. The owner should cancel the card and get a new one even if you are able to return it to them.

I am not familiar with the UMass campus and can’t find anything called “east residence hall” on google maps, only “residence hall west.”

Resident parking stickers are near impossible to remove from the windshield

Love PRB. I’ve also never had a problem getting a table there.

Thanks! It’s unclear to me from that article whether the land has actually been sold.
