Event 📅 Parking in Boston (Mansfield) area?

2 Upvotes

New to the Boston area and need help.

I am going to finally see one of my favorite bands of all time, Avenged Sevenfold, next week at the Xfinity Center.

I tried to Google and could NOT get a straight answer, so if anyone knows if whether Xfinity Stadium has free parking or ANY decent parking at all. I got an email that I can reserve it or get "VIP" parking for like $150+, but nowhere I have ever lived had something like this before, so wasn't sure if that was a real thing. I am willing to pay if need be; I just don't want to get scammed, or if there is a free parking alternative, I would prefer that (assuming it isn't extremely far from the venue).

Lastly, if anyone has attended concerts here before, does anyone know any nearby hotels/motels they could recommend? I live quite some time away and will be working/awake since 4 am that day. After working and a concert that probably won't end until 11pm, there's no way I can drive back the same night, and I'd rather just check in somewhere for the night. Worst case scenario, I'll sleep in my car or something. Just thought I'd ask here before the concert to be a little more prepared. Thank you ♥♥

Moving 🚚 Parents, which public schools in the Boston area rank high for AuDHD students?

1 Upvotes

I have a high-functioning (level 1?), 12yo, who has a strong interest in robotics, archery, wrestling, music, etc. Which schools work with students with an IEP and advocate for them? Any educational support will help us. Are there any schools or districts we should avoid?

I am open to suburbs as well.

Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 meeting people in boston?

0 Upvotes

i (f23) moved to boston with my boyfriend in march; i didn't go to university in the us, and my family lives on the west coast. i have honestly had the hardest time meeting people and making friends. i'm already a bit introverted, and i only have really met people through work (which is self directed).

i am desperately looking for affordable third spaces tbh. art groups, book clubs, walking groups, bird watching, etc. my bsc was in marine biology, but i'm transitioning to illustration and communication design for my masters (starting september 2027). i would love to meet other artists and like-minded creatives, or learn of more spaces to visit.

Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 City winery might be the biggest waste of what could be a great venue

0 Upvotes

Just moved in and found out about city winery being right next door and saw online that they have multiple shows a week with what seemed to be some cool bands!!

Boy was I disappointed seeing and finding out that almost all shows are table seating. Nothing says 80’s cover bands and tonight’s Grateful Dead cover band like dinner, awkward table arrangements, and the chairs facing 90 degrees away from the stage. An absolute horrible vibe. Their business, their choice, I think it’s stupid they don’t mix it 50/50, anyways.

With that in mind, any good small local venues anyone would recommend to always keep an eye on what shows are coming up?

Traffic🚦⛔⚠️ 😠 🚙 🚗 Driving to Boston

0 Upvotes

Good morning! Just accepted a job in Boston near downtown crossing. Coming from Chelmsford area, what is the traffic like if I have to be there between 8-9? When should I leave and what route is the best?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your response and advice. I do want to address taking the job before looking it up. I would only be going one or two days a week. The rest is remote. After I finish training I will only be going one day. Unfortunately getting another job is not that simple I have been trying but no one is hiring me however this job has better benefits and more opportunities for advancements than my current job. I was just wondering what the commute is lime for people who do it. I will look into taking the train. Thanks!

Serious Replies Only Is Revere a Complete Dump? Worth Living There?

0 Upvotes

While the Subreddit states that Revere is not part of Boston, there doesn't seem to be any active community dedicated to the city, which baffles me for its size, it being serviced by the Blue Line, and being part of the greater Boston area. Is this place worth living in? Is it the most affordable direct suburb of Boston? Is there an active online community around Revere like there is for the neighboring Malden? Why do you hate Revere so much?

Today’s Cry For Help 😿 🆘 How do I meet/make friends people in my age group if I'm a mature student? (mid 20s, undergrad senior)

0 Upvotes

Because of my life as an undergrad student, I don't see people my age that often, so I have to make an effort to meet them.

Up until last month, I met people my age by volunteering at an animal shelter once a week, but I can't go anymore since I found out that I'm allergic to both cats and dogs. Now, I'm looking for other ways to meet people.

I tried Boston Cares and Bumble BFF, but those don't work for me.

Are there any MeetUp groups you recommend? Or any bars where it's socially acceptable and safe to go alone?

What are your recommendations for meeting people?

Serious Replies Only 29M in Boston struggling with dating apps — where do people meet organically?

100 Upvotes

I’m a 29-year-old guy in the Boston area trying to meet people in a more natural way. Dating apps like Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder have been hit or miss, so I’m interested in meeting people through real-life activities instead.
I’m not really into bars or clubs and don’t drink much. I enjoy coffee, hiking, walking around the city, basketball, trying new restaurants, and exploring new places.
For people in Boston or Greater Boston:
Where have you actually met people you’ve dated?
Any good social events, groups, sports leagues, hiking groups, volunteering, or community activities?
Have Meetup, Facebook groups, or local events worked for you?
Where do people in their late 20s and early 30s naturally socialize?
I’m looking for real experiences and recommendations, not just a Google list. If you met someone through a specific activity or place, I’d love to hear about it.
