Don't worry, RMV will fuck one of us over who doesn't have a story to post on local news.

No joke.
RMV charged me $100 to "reinstate" my license that I proved to them was wrongfully revoked in the first place. Got a ticket in Ohio. Dumbass cop falsely claimed I didn't show proof of the insurance that I definitely had. Sent them proof, Ohio was like "oops our bad," RMV still made me pay even though Ohio expunged the revocation.
This was my fourth trip in a couple of months and I didn't even feel like arguing with them about it anymore.

This would never work in Somerville, they would ticket you literally every day

Gametime is partnered with Ticketmaster to sell leftover tickets. They say they sell tix up to 90 minutes after the game starts but who knows.
Pour some out for the scalpers at venues of yesteryear. "Tickets, tickets, sellin', buyin'?"

Gardner Museum. Saltie Girl for seafood. Mooo for steak. Art galleries at 450-460 Harrison Ave. Walk the Charles River embankment on both sides. Have an egg sandwich from Flour Bakery (any location). Maybe Myers + Chang for dinner (same owner as Flour). Bar at the Newbury Hotel, and walk Newbury Street and Boylston in the Back Bay. So much more.

Correct, my point is that the roads that do put them near the curb. That seems safer. Does it not?

Well you should probably have to prove your residency somehow or else the idea of thwarting tax/insurance cheats would be pretty easily defeated by lying to the person on the phone.

Why can’t city hall be pressured to introduce a bill to tax the higher education institutions, on the backed land taxes they already owe, to then redirect entirely into fixing the T? The T being aka the student body delivery containers on the tracks that make everything run

Great shout with the Idylwilde Farm suggestion. I like that place a lot. Also, I miss Russos Christmas trees so much. Luckily I found a reasonable substitute, but we got our tree (Fraser Fir) at Russos for many years and they were always excellent. Now we get Balsam Firs from the Bean Farm in Westwood and they’re really good too.

Reply to comment by Anustart15 in Analysis | Are Philadelphia and Boston really the most neighborly cities in America? by PhillyAccount
I kinda agree. I don't really give a shit about Philly, but I care too much about NYC, which doesn't really care too much about us.

Every person's tax situation is unique so no one can answer this.

Reply to Parking spot money "past due" even though lease termination notice was given - potential for legal trouble? by shmalo
Small claims and housing court judges aren't robots. If the property manager wastes the courts time by asking for a judgement against you, given your paper trail, the judge is going to dismiss it immediately. The clerk probably won't even give the property manager a court date. Keep your records, don't pay another penny

They’re getting better. Where I live near Uxbridge the blackstone, Mumford, and west rivers were some of the most polluted on earth and you’d never know now. They’ve recovered wonderfully.

I wouldn’t eat ANY shellfish from the harbor. They literally live in the muck that’s settled out from 400 years of pollution.

I believe you are correct. I haven’t lived in Everett in 20 years but growing up there between all the factories, Monsanto, and the tanks we knew we were fucked eight ways from Sunday.

I never ate the fish but I did spend summers jumping off the Meridian St bridge and down behind the oil tanks that are now gone.
