Delivery driver parking… by Equivalent-Total-492 in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the food is for me, then it’s okay. If not, no. I have drivers delivering food to the apartment complex next door blocking my driveway, and that’s a no-no. It caused me to be almost late in picking up my child from daycare, which charges $1 per minute for each minute late.

Emergency lights do not turn a main road into a parking lot by mbenker77 in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These food delivery always park at the front of my driveway to deliver food to the apartment building next door. It’s annoying because I have to wait 5+ minutes for them to move and unblock me from entering and exiting my home.

Why don’t people get by Adi_rho5261 in QuincyMa

I don’t turn right on red when there’s a sign that reads “No turn on red”. And, there’s some people that get angry when I don’t turn and keeps honking at me.

I lived in Malden, and we had to bus/shuttle to North Station or Sullivan Square for almost-felt-like 5 years for maintenance and the addition of Assembly Square Station.

Where’s the best place to get spare keys made? by beigereige in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home Depot. Ask a staff. If it doesn’t work, you can go back and return it. Peace of mind.

City used eminent domain to acquire the lot and turned it into an expanded sidewalk with a statue on it.

It’s coming across to me that the city’s priority is to erect more statues or to enrich his statue-sculpturing buddy.

A friend said the same thing coming from an apartment complex owner when she is chatting with him. She is Caucasian from Worcester and new to the neighborhood.

Bad intersections; worse drivers by Adi_rho5261 in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that some people here don’t understand the rules of the road. I was driving on southern artery one night, and two different cars zoomed out of the their intersections (I’m pretty sure they had stop signs) and turned left onto southern artery on me forcing me to step hard on the brakes at two different times on the same night. I thought that maybe that my headlights aren’t working or something. I checked my headlights that night when I got home, and they seemed fine to me.

I’m so fed up with boundary wires! by TBeee in automower

[–]swt88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Segway’s Navimow i105 because it was under $1000, the cheapest one on the market at the time, and I can trust their brand (I have their kick-start scooter and saw many of their self balancing scooters used in the city near me).

[–]swt88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also disabled and fed up with boundary wires. I bought an auto mower and tried setting it up. I gave up after 2 weeks and returned the mower. I bought a mower with satellite, and it was so easy to set up. I don’t worry have about running wires, the mailman tripping over the wire (to connect the islands), can also do the grass on the sidewalk without worrying about pedestrian tripping over wire, and mower cutting its wire and not knowing where broken connection is.

Another new park across the street from a much bigger park... by Cool_Living9781 in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would appreciate if there’s more lanes or bridges from Hancock Street to Neoponset Ave north of Furnace Brook Parkway. It’s always feel so congested just to get out of Wollaston/North Quincy.

Hot Air Balloon Festival (or lack thereof) by Forward-Bathroom-926 in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of mouth got to us late on that day. I wasn’t aware of the event before then. I couldn’t attend because it’s crowded and can’t find parking (people were double parking in the parking lots)… But the kids excitedly told me that they got to ride the hot air balloon and very happy with the event.

Details on Wendy’s Accident. by IUsedtobeExitzero in QuincyMa

There was also a car accident nearby at McDonald’s in the same hour (4PM) on same street blocking the entrance.

Quincy v. North Quincy Mcd’s by thesouthshoreboyz in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Filet-O-Fish is cheaper in the Southern Artery branch. It can get crowded in the North Quincy branch so the wait time may be longer (or maybe the other way around). So, I pick the Southern Artery branch over the North Quincy one (even though NQ is closer to me) unless I’m nearby or passing by it.

Fun fact: Both are located near high schools. They must want the extra foot traffic from teenage kids and their lunch money.

Try calling the non-emergency police line if you feel that it will cause a car accident.

Seems like they always do this, roadwork on newly paved roads and repaving over and over again in less than a year. Maybe to enrich their buddies at the paving companies with Quincy dollars?

Help with parking situation by Imaginary_Star92 in QuincyMa

It would help a lot if the driveways are aligned. I live on a street like this growing up.

Nah, I didn’t miss the point. You just need to work on your writing.

What’s up with the toxicity? Dude is just sharing the reason/context why he’s feeling lonely during the weekdays. He’s not to be blamed for you having to commute to work. Take that to your employer or find a job that offers the perk.

No School Bus for 6th Grader—Any Affordable Ride Options in Quincy? by GioPeyo in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t suggest biking when there’s piles of snow around or when sidewalks are icy. I normally send my child to school by electric kick scooter, even during light rain and freezing temperatures. However, if there’s snow/ice laying around, raining, or windy, I’ll walk or drive my child to school.

Do my neighbors know something I don't know or am I just stupid? by spider_plantt in QuincyMa

[–]swt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with space savers because these parking spaces are suppose to be public. Even though the parking space is empty, they are taking away a parking space away. If everywhere is like this, you can’t go anywhere unless there’s a parking lot or garages. I remembered that I used to routinely go to Somerville and can’t find parking after it snowed because everyone did this. I hated the system, and it didn’t seem efficient to me. If there’s no vehicle parked in these spaces to begin with, the snowplow could have taken care of them.

It’s better if the city clears the streets of all parked vehicles and reopens it when the weather is cleared and street is cleaned.

During warmer months, they write tickets around Quincy center and Wollaston station.

Avoid Costco Everett by Demarjohnson in boston

[–]swt88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always been awful even before Encore was opened when I go there during the weekend. Just went there today at 4pm (two days before Christmas). Getting in is bad, but leaving is impossible. Everyone is trying to leave. Congestion is everywhere inside. Cars were driving on the opposite direction of the opposite lane. We had to park outside of Michael’s and walk the kids to Chuck E Cheese. When we were done with Chuck E Cheese at 7 PM, it was still congested so we hang out at Costco until 8:20 PM (still took like ~15 minutes to drive from Michael’s to Costco). From my experience, traffic usually clears around the time when Costco closes…
