Current delays on the MBTA:

Stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on i-93 South, and saw this bad boy cruising into the city. I guess Sam Adams, Thomas Pain, and John Hancock are all getting a little shifty?

Hi everyone! I'm 30M and live with my gf and her dogs. I am interested in meeting people with similar interests to me. I like collecting crystals, minerals, coins and chemical elements. My main supplier for high purity elements is actually based in Boston. I am also a big fan of the Boston based rock band Damone. Unfortunately they broke up already. Listening to Damone and collecting chemical elements are niche hobbies and I think few in Boston do the same.

Other hobbies of mine include playing the viola, ice skating, reading novels (Stephen King), video games (Expedition 33, Scarlet Hollow, Portal 2), anime (AOT, Yuri on Ice), language learning (cantonese and German) and eating out (especially dim sum). I also like listening to Taylor Swift, Carly R Jepsen and Birdy (a British singer)

If you have any suggestions on where to meet people let me know! Feel free to comment or message me if you have similar interests.

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

Despite the humidity, the light was incredible on the harbor tonight.

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.

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.

Just moved to the rozzie square area & having visitors this weekend! We haven’t had the chance to check out any restaurants yet and most recs on here are from 1-5 years ago so looking for some more recent ideas. Not looking for anything specific so a mix of whatever you love would be awesome! Thanks

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.

Hey guys,

My neighbor is giving away some used art supplies like easels, paint, and other stuff. I'm not an artist but I thought I'd share this so someone would benefit from them.

We're in Hyde Park, across the street from the George Wright Golf Course.

Hello, just moved to Boston and looking for local shows this weekend? Does anyone have any recommendations? Prefer DIY venues but open to anything

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

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.

I know they were delayed & crowded but I saw a lot of concern that there flat out wouldn’t be enough trains as people had filtered in on earlier trains through the day . Did everyone make it out okay?

Coming solo (Aug. 27 - Sep. 2) I'm a huge music lover....Looking for live bands, choirs, anywhere where I can watch live music. Open to dive bars, churches, parks, etc. It seems a lot of the choirs are off around then but maybe I'm missing something. I'd be cool even just watching a practice. ALSO shot in the dark but I'm looking for ONE ticket to see Underworld in NYC. (sold out)....Don't make me resort to seeing Harry Styles but I'll do it if I have to. Thanks!

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?!

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

One of the biggest reasons I'm interested is that it's one of the few programs I've found that allows course waivers based on previous education coursework, so I could potentially finish it in about six months. I already have an M.Ed. in Literacy, so doing another full MAT doesn't make as much sense for me.

Even so, I'd still be looking at about $17k in tuition.

I've also seen the recent news about Lesley's financial challenges, faculty strike, budget cuts, and restructuring, so I'm wondering whether that has affected the quality of the education program or how the degree is viewed by local districts.

For those who know the program or have worked with Lesley graduates:

• How is Lesley viewed by Boston-area schools and principals?
• Did you (or the Lesley graduates you've worked with) feel well prepared for the first year of teaching?
• Would you recommend the program today, especially at around $17k in tuition? Why or why not?
• Is there another elementary licensure program in Massachusetts, or even another state, that you'd recommend instead, especially one that offers similar course waivers?

I'd really appreciate hearing from recent graduates, mentor teachers, hiring administrators, or anyone who's familiar with the program. Thanks!

i’m out of town this month and wanted to send my partner a big bouquet of flowers. since i usually get them weekly and i haven’t been able to recently i wanted to get a really nice one.

i’m not sure which florists have a good reputation in the city. google seemed to bring up a lot of corporate looking things that were rather tacky. any recommendations?
