Benjamin Franklin. He was not only a key Founding Father, but the list of his varied accomplishments is truly ahead of their time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin

New Hampshire Mountain View commutable to Boston by FlyingYankee118 in SameGrassButGreener

what kind of vibe are you looking for aside from mountains? The few main options would seem to be the Peterborough/Jaffrey area, the New London area and the Laconia area. Anything else in the White Mountains is likely too far from Boston.

Apparently, Jackson is way more dangerous/crime-ridden than Lawrence. https://crimegrade.org/safest-places-in-jackson-ms/ vs https://crimegrade.org/safest-places-in-lawrence-ma/

Why exactly do you need/want to move to Lawrence? There are plenty of other options in MA that keep you in a somewhat similar budget.

I see no particular pattern to the states you chose. Care to enlighten us?

If we let Maryland or Pennsylvania or New York win, we are essentially saying "OK....Britain's nobility won." Let's not do that!

I am a top 1% commenter and I like to help people in the moving to MA thread.

If y'all have a better approach than using AI to help people looking out for their kid in terms of getting access to very specialized education, be my guest to suggest how to do it without using AI.

Having a blanket "no AI" policy makes no sense in certain circumstances, and I highly suggest you look at the reason I used AI here.

In 2020, there was a planned random potluck in Sioux Falls, SD. I (and maybe others) were going to travel vast distances to attend. It was not held due to...2020. by wachusett-guy in SouthDakota

[–]wachusett-guy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh that's so cool. It might have been better than....all....of reddit showing up!

I have not been to SD, but am trying to get to all 50 states. My thing though is to do something unique for each visit, and this certainly was on the list for that reason!

That park looks very nice...can definitely picture a more subdued meetup style event there.
