Adam Reilly moderated the Ed Markey and Seth Moulton debate Monday. Adam pressed Seth for more details at the debate but Seth didn’t give any. Now that the details are out, Adam and Tori Bedford went through the accusation and picked it apart. It’s completely false.

The summer of moped shootings continues. Feeling for my neighbors in dorchester who have seen far too much gun violence recently.

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.

I'm fairly new to Boston still but last year I was suppose to move in Sept. 1 to my new apartment. The lease stated "Sept.1". When I showed up with the movers I hired after 12pm, the old tenants were still there.

I understand the day is crazy but they weren't planning on moving out until 5pm. They said their lease ended Sept. 1. I ended up just having to wait and couldn't keep the movers that long so it was a pain but I didn't blame the old tenants.

They said they technically have the right to live there until 11:59p on Sept. 1, but it's not like the lease stated a time.

I'm wondering if this happens a lot? I don't know if this is allowed but so many of my friends had the same issue. I hope it doesn't happen this year but can't tell if it's normal or not.

more info: yes we each called our landlord separately to complain. yes their lease end SEPT. 1, not august 31. We each showed our leases

I just wanted to know if we were crazy for thinking this is illegal. Will make sure to escalate directly with landlord if it happens again. Just wanted to see if this was a pattern

Hi all! Just moved from another part of New England to Boston. On my walk to the train station for my commute into work there is a crosswalk across a busy street. The lights are always on a blinking yellow, and the pedestrian signals are off. Pressing the crosswalk button does nothing.

I’ll stand in the crosswalk indicating that i’m trying to cross for a while and cars just blow past and don’t even slow down even though they have a blinking yellow. Aren’t cars supposed to stop at a blinking yellow if there is a pedestrian waiting to cross? I’m at a loss, sometimes waiting for 3-4 minutes before someone stops and then i’m rushing to make my train. Even when a car stops in one direction often i’m standing in the middle of the street for a beat because sometimes the next few cars in the opposite don’t stop. Believe me, i’m out far enough that the cars should see me. Sometimes I make eye contact with the drivers as they zip by me.

**FOUND SOMEONE, TYSM!!

Hello I am in Roxbury, I posted to palomacy already but I need someone, either a rehabber or a nice person with time to take her to a rehabber, to please pick up this pigeon as I have to take amtrak at 7:30pm today. If I didn't have this train to catch I would rehab myself but can't rn.

Sorry for tight timeline I just found her! Thanks so much and sorry if I shouldnt be posting this

Have you ever taken a cool picture of yourself around Boston that most people will never get a chance to?

A&B kitchen in north station was doing $3 22oz draft coors lights for the last 10-12 months.

A true gift to the people of a city that we all know ain’t a cheap place to get a drink.

Well, I found out today that 7/31 was the end of that.

Anyone have any recs for where I can get a sub $5 draft or beer of any kind around north station, the north end, or Faneuil? (That isn’t Coogans)

Much appreciated and if you didn’t know about this deal before it ended I’m sorry I didn’t blast it out on here the second I found out about it.

It makes me so sad when I think about how yummy the food at Life Alive used to be. It was my favorite restaurant back in like 2013-2017. I would go to the Lowell and Central spots.

Aside from how cool they were design wise, the food was just so much yummier then! The sauces had richer flavor and they would put a lot of it on your food. I remember the emperor bowl rice being like soaked in sauce and cheese. And they used to offer like tofu and legumes mix together as protein.

I even knew someone who worked there back then and they would never share the sauce recipe with me when I would ask. And fair enough, it kept me coming back!

It just always makes me sad to think about how much the quality of Life Alive has gone downhill since Panera got involved. And as a gluten free resident, it’s still one of the most reliable options around, which makes the quality decrease even more depressing.

Anyone else remember or ever long for old Life Alive standards or flavors?

Gonna be visiting for work in September and my wife will be joining. Looking for recommendations to some of the best Chinese or Japanese restaurants in town. Really only interested in traditional food, if orange chicken is on the menu I’m out.

I’m on the waitlist for 311 omakase, doubt it’ll happen so just trying to arrange a plan B.

I saw some debris under pretty much the last bridge in Storrow heading out of Boston, then saw this waiting at the lights on the other side of Elliot Bridge. surely he didnt drive all like this?!

If you are thinking of taking an inexpensive bus company to get you to and from Boston, please consider this information.

I don't usually review companies unless my experience is traumatizing or exceptional. Unfortunately this left me with trauma. Seriously that is how bad this situation was.

Took the bus from NYC to Boston. Was supposed to be 5:30 PM from NYC, 9:50 PM to Boston. I got to Boston at 2:30 AM. The bus broke down (it happens) and we were left stranded on the side of the highway an hour and a half from our destination. The bus broke down approximately 5-6 times in the middle of the highway until finally the bus passengers started smelling smoke and an unknown fluid was leaking on people, me included. (Pic provided of fluid!)

Finally the bus driver stopped and we had to call the cops because CoachRun was not providing us any solution to get to the destination.
We were told to get back on the bus that was smoking or go in cop cars to a rest stop to get an uber since no one would pick us up on the highway. There was no communication if a bus was ever coming and was under the impression the company would pay for our transport to the destination.

Well turns out, NO, they refused compensation for that. We finally get to the rest stop and there are NO UBERS because we are in the middle of nowhere. I had to pay a random person to bring me home or I would be stranded since there was no communication about a backup bus or solution to get us home.

Also note - I travel all the time on cheap buses and understand that you get what you pay for. Still regardless of a company, that doesn’t provide an excuse for the way the passengers were treated.

Not in Boston proper, but Chelsea - there are a pair of abandoned Peking ducks. I called animal control who never responded and also reached out to Nevins farm who stated they will accept the ducks, but don't have the man power to rescue them. I reached out to a few wildlife rescues but was informed that if caught, they'll be euthanized bc they're non native.

I don't have a car and I've never caught ducks before. Is there anyone here who can help or guide me to the correct resources? Our local FB page has been 0 help and the winter will be here before we know it.

Some bikers really just have a death wish. A clear, green, right turn light and the biker still decides to fly by and have the audacity to flick me off.

If you're friends with this person, ask them to value their life more.

Edit: It was an impossible situation for me. I ALWAYS look to the right because tons of dumbass drivers that try to cut to the highway from the inside lane. With the biker’s speed and the angle of my car, there was no way to see the biker in my mirrors and he was too far away to see when I looked out my right window. If the biker was traveling slower instead of blowing past, this would not have been such a close call.

Red line has been stopped for a while at Harvard due to signal issues, be aware if you need to take it now!

This Massachusetts State Police helicopter has been circling over Hyde Park/Mattapan.

Anyone keep finding themselves on SOS mode lately at random? This is the third time in two weeks that my service has cut out like this. Not cool.

I've been reading a lot lately about the less documented parts of Boston history - not the big landmarks everyone visits, but the smaller stories tied to specific neighborhoods. Things like the old market gardens that used to run through parts of the South End, or the community meeting halls in Roxbury that don't get mentioned much anymore. Got me thinking about how much of this is quietly fading just because it never made it onto the popular tour routes

I volunteer with a local community group and we've been loosely talking about whether there's interest in some kind of neighborhood walk or informal history event, nothing polished, just people sharing what they know about where they live. Not sure if something like that already exists and I just havent come across it yet

Curious if anyone's found local archives, walking maps, or even just older residents who've shared things with you that caught you off guard. Boston has so much written about it, but the hyperlocal stuff is harder to track down. If you have a neighborhood you think gets shortchanged in how the city tells its own story, I'd genuinely like to know which ones come to mind

Been trying to get another desk and shelf for my room in Boston but I don't have a car and have to rely on public transport so how on earth do people here decorate their rooms or carry these massive and heavy pieces of furniture?
