My office looks out on the Red Line near Quincy. The southbound trains are going slow enough that I can see the abject boredom on the drivers faces.

Someone in my building has apparently adopted a Blue Bike as a pet and stashed it inside in the first floor hallway.

You should return it back to it’s home. BlueBikes are meant to roam from dock to dock not be contained in some hallway

If I had not been running late I would have. Hope someone else did the needful there, if it's still there in the evening I'll take it back to its home.

Either they don't understand how the pricing structure works and they're going to rack up tons of fees, or they stole it and someone else is on the hook for $1,200.

Missing dog from Medford. He's been missing for 6 months but these posts get me every time. If you've seen a brown and white pit mix, please reach out to Missing Dogs Massachusetts!

How is it that AGAIN they cancelled the New England Auto Show? They claim, "Theres no cars available", yet every other state has been hosting auto shows regularly over the past 2 years.

Wtf is going on?

Is there anyone around Boston who restores vintage maps? I've inherited a wall map from the 60's, but it has some tears and water damage and it looks like the previous owner did a bad home repair job with packing tape that made it worse, so I'd like to get it professionally restored.

Not that I have suggestions, but someone who does book restorations probably has the necessary skill set. Maybe ask the BPL who they use for book restoration/preservation.

Could try reaching out to the MBTAgifts store in Cambridge: https://www.mbtagifts.com/

They have a ton of old maps at their store so I'm guessing they know how to handle/restore them, or might know who could.
