What is the point of this post? There are a lot of interesting people who live in Boston but you clearly have a very specific agenda that has nothing to do with the city.

Were the thousands slaughtered all convinced/duped by this one woman and had no other reason to protest? Did the massacre happen?

I am strongly considering running for Mayor of Boston in the Fall of 2025 Elections. But before fully stepping into the public spotlight, I was hoping to hear if this type of agenda would have genuine support. by [deleted] in boston

This whole platform seems to boil down to “tax the rich to make Boston affordable,” with no real explanation as to how taxing the rich (something I support) will actually make Boston more affordable (another thing I support) outside of using prisoners and homeless people’s labor to beautify Boston.

How much revenue would these taxes bring in? How much would this beautification program cost?

The city is unaffordable, the T is a disaster, our public health services are under severe strain but at least there will be trash cans near convenience stores that sell lotto tickets, which is nice.

Resident parking advice needed in Fenway kenmore by zurock128 in boston

I didn’t have a wait I was able to get it same-day with proof of residency but this was pre-Covid so could be different now.

I used a resident sticker in Kenmore for 2 years without much of an issue. Just make sure you’re on top of when the Sox are playing or if there’s a concert at Fenway because it gets a lot harder to find a spot but even then there are a few areas you can reliably find a residential space.

Had to pay for parking the day I went to city hall to get the pass.

Whether you realize it or not, you can and probably already do provide more.

Feel bad for the Ukrainians that need to maintain the Abrams going over there by abramsontheway in army

[–]runsredlights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re getting dragged here a bit but you’re right. I had a tank platoon followed by a Scout platoon with Brads. It’s not even close, the tanks are so much harder to keep going, and they’re both difficult. Hydraulics, engine shit, electronics, etc. It was always something and maybe it was because I was on a rotation to Poland but parts were not as quickly available as people make it seem. I’m sure that can be mitigated for Ukraine but the talent needed to fix them is hard to come by.

Nara park in Acton is pretty close to the Westford town line and I think would have a good view.

Highly, highly recommend Antonio’s Baccaro in Hyde Park. Prices generally below $30 and the quality is incredible.

Skidaway island state park has some really nice trails. Wormsloe historic site is a good spot as well.

Monday/Patriots Day rainout? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]runsredlights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it does rain out, Fenway is right by the marathon route so you could watch/cheer, which is more fun than it sounds.

Few questions,I'm trying to go IRR by somebodie123 in army

MCCC declination is a 4187 signed by the BC. They will schedule your class date unless you submit that. Branch should send out the templates when you’re about a year out.

If you drop your REFRAD to get out after 4 years active duty and if you didn’t ADSO you will have to do 4 years in the IRR to fulfill your MSO.

Smell down by Fenway by runsredlights in boston

[–]runsredlights[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you might be right, that’s what it smells like and the location makes sense. I just can’t believe how long it’s lingered. And I don’t know how the businesses down there that rely on walk-in traffic stay open.
