It's also a good place for kids to learn how to be in a show. They offered good summer programs, too.

If you can afford pavilion on the 1b side, that's a great view - very photogenic. However, it's high up.
Any first base side grandstand is good (except a few where a pole blocks the view); loge even better because you are in front of poles. Field boxes are amazing, though hard to get without going through a secondary market.
If you need to save a few $$$, I love section 32/33 because it's a quick in and out and the Monster is touchable from that section. Fewer poles over there, too.

Reply to Dave Epstein's (@growingwisdom) Snow Forecast - he tends to be one of the more realistic forecasters. He's less about the drama and more about the science. by Lurchie_
My favorite Epstein moment was when they tossed to him for the forecast and he read an earthquake story. He finished with something like, "I don't understand why they give the meteorologist the earthquake story." It bothered him so much that they didn't understand he was an expert in crust up, not crust down.

Many seniors do live with family or with roommates in a "retirement home." Those are things that already happen.

The other issue with this is that because they can't downsize they will stay in housing that is too big. This will keep homes from reaching the market...and the cycle worsens.

Reply to Overnight stay in Beverly? by SensitiveArtist69
There's not much tourism in Beverly for a hotel. There's a Hampton Inn in Peabody for about $100-$125 a night.
Endicott College in Beverly has a hotel that is $100 for March 1st.

But, if you are a Pirates fan, forget it. Still a lot of heated feelings from the World Series in '03. Fortunately, Boston had Bill Dinneen and Wagner was injured.

Reply to I’m trying to surprise my father-in-law with a behind the scenes tour of Fenway Park. I’m overwhelmed by the choices and hoping to get some feedback regarding the best options for a local. by Maleficent_Power4247
Your question may have more success at r/redsox.
The Fenway public tour is good, especially on a non-game/event day. You get to see more on those days. On a game/event day, parts can be closed off.
I never tried a birthday tour and the site says nothing, so I cannot help with that.
If you like tours, you may want to try the New England Sports Museum at TD Garden. There's lots of sports memorabilia spread out around the Garden. It's a good tour if you know local sports well.

Yes. I lived next to the commuter rail. The MBTA had rights to pass through my yard to get to the tracks. That was stipulated in the P&S. The OP said there wasn't that stipulation in theirs.

Without asking permission. A major conglomerate decided for OP that they could make this change. You're cool with a company making decisions for your property by telling you what they're doing instead of asking you?

I'm not letting a company decide that they will dig in my yard. If they want to ask, and I get to choose, fine. But, just leaving a note after they decided it, no. Just no. Never.

My objection would be that I didn't ask for, nor approve, any change to my existing property.

Careful what you wish for b/c that appeals to home owners who live along the rails.

The original town character was probably a wetu before it had a two level house.

Yes, that's why speaking with a director of student services is a way to gauge how they will. Outplacements are expensive, so schools really don't like to do that. That's why people sometimes sue for it.

> Billerica cannot meet his needs
So, legally, they have to. However, how they will is a question for the family.
The family could go to the director of student services in Billerica with the diagnosis and ask how these needs would be met. If the student is a few years out, this could help the system prep the materials and training.
I would advise the family that wherever they consider moving to meet with the director of student services to ask how these kinds of needs may be met. If the plan is clear and detailed, they have handled this type of student before and probably have the tech on hand. If the plan sounds developed in the moment, they could be good and could not. It's more of a toss up.

It's more likely he'd be replaced before the teachers. Mayors don't last 30 years. (Well, except in Waltham.)
