I think you are having a nostalgic moment but there is one in Norwood. I would do anything to go back in time to a Ground Round

A couple of days ago my husband and I were getting all nostalgic for the Ground Round (and to a lesser extent, Friendlys). There are a bunch of Friendlys in eastern MA, but they're all way out in the 'burbs.

As for Ground Round, RIP. We're old enough to remember when they had mocktails for kids, and in addition to the baskets of popcorn they'd given you baskets of peanuts, and it was okay to throw the shells on the floor.

There’s one in Bangor ME. I stayed at a hotel next to it a month ago and didn’t see it until I was leaving so I couldn’t try it

If you don't mind a bit of a Hike, I used to go to one in Nashua when my brother lived there.

I have a family member who’s visiting Boston at the moment and travelling alone. It’s their first time in the country and some things have happened which is causing them to spiral and possibly suicidal. I’m extremely anxious and don’t know what I can do to help because they’ve been isolated from the the online support system they had and were relying on (they’re bipolar). If anyone has any advise or resources I would greatly approached it please, and thank you
