Am I crazy or was it early December the last time the sun was out all day?

Has anyone been to the new Space Adventure exhibit? It looks pretty cool and the website boasts of having over 300 NASA artifacts on display, but I heard that other immersive exhibits like Beyond King Tut were disappointing.

Anybody see a large caravan of tow trucks (looked like mostly flatbeds) driving around honking? Some kind of rally, perhaps?

Did I miss Christmas tree disposal? If so how tf do I get rid of this thing in beacon hill

Yeah, you missed it. I was going to propose cutting it up and putting it in paper bags (lol) but leaf & yard waste collection is suspended until April. I think the only option is to have it collected as waste.

Check with the zoo. I was there yesterday and noticed they gave the goats a Christmas tree to munch on

Depends on the tree but I think it's pretty dried out by now. Per https://archive.is/SUgzy

I have a south Boston residential parking sticker. Can. I park in a metered spot on A street for free?

Google is unclear.
