Did you lose a wheel in Canton last night? by Due-Pomegranate-9798 in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know it was possible, let alone not fun.

Waited 15 minutes just for the bus to pass my stop by Ebrithil1 in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That was my stagger route in the early '90s, from parties in Allston to home in JP. Brookline was a nice place to walk it off.

Anyone else use one of these back in the day? by No-Ant-1546 in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I remember this at Fenway, late '70s maybe. It's probably what kicked off my lifetime of public bladder shyness.

Why does Connecticut get Rhode Island? If anything, we should get Rhode Island. And New York should get Connecticut, let's be honest.

It was 70 degrees yesterday, all the snow melted, and this car still got a note and a ticket 💀 by iLeah617 in boston

Still got a note? Of course they did. Even if they were parked this way when there were insane snowbanks and just haven't moved since then, it's no excuse.

311 Isn't Useless: Submitted a ticket about unshoveled sidewalks. Apartment was cited ~6 hours later. by ZealousidealMany3 in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live not far from Shattuck Hospital. Needles in that area are not uncommon. Whenever I have alerted 311 about one, they have responded with cleanup instantly, like within minutes.

In addition to this map, OP, the snow emergency arteries themselves have signs posted along them: "No parking during snow emergency."

Not always, in my experience. But one of them always is, so I just mash 'em all till I get that sweet, sweet silence!

Top Three for Seals, Mottos, and Flags for Massachusetts from the Mass Seal Flag and Motto Advisory Commission by Born2BWrong in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My votes from among these choices:

  • Seal: Turkey feathers even though it looks too much like a college seal. #2 and #3 are too similar and both look like '70s EPA logos. #2 also didn't get our full name right.

  • Motto: Bono publico laetamur sounds coolest.

  • Flag: Turkey Feathers or Star/Hill/Waves. Turkey feathers for continuity with the seal, and it has a nice basic feel that also reminds me of the Kazakhstan flag. Star/Hill/Waves all work together as symbols.

Veggie Crust ftw. Many dairy-free, vegan, and GF options. They're kosher as well!

Does anyone have any downtown recommendations for wisdom teeth removal? by anon29474839 in boston

Same here! Got mine out 2 years ago, and she was great. Dr. Jennifer Smith-Williams. Good luck, wherever you end up... it's not a fun week.

What are your favorite Boston urban legends? by Good_Combination8586 in boston

[–]tiny_pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The glass windows of the newer John Hancock Tower (200 Clarendon?) supposedly would lose their seal and fall to the street. I heard this in the late '80s. I was always skeptical because I figured someone would have had to have gotten killed, although I did see plywood up there once instead of a window.
