My neighbors were up celebrating paddy's day loudly until 3am. I hope they enjoyed my courtesy press of their doorbell when I went out for my run at 6am.

Going to be in your town for the first time in a couple weeks. Any suggestions for cool shit to do from locals? Any good cigar lounges?

the ICA is a pretty cool art museum (and relatively cheap) if you’re into that, you can get there via the silver line if you take public transit. there’s also the MFA but that’s a bit more expensive, boston public garden usually has some people playing music and is a nice walk, and harvard square has a bunch of cool shops (you can go there via the red line).

You can visit the North End and go to a cigar lounge/bar at the same time

Stanza dei Sigari has a pretty good selection

What’s up with the out of service elevator at the Bowdoin Blue Line Station? It’s been over a year that’s it’s been nonfunctional.

I’ve repeatedly tried to engage the mbta about bowdoins lack of access. I was finally able to get an answer that the escalator is not being repaired, but eventually replaced. Really bugs me as I’m on the blue line and disabled and I could get to Whole Foods and target there. Never mind the department of mental health is inaccessible which is just shameful.
