I've been there on a weekday evening (around 7pm) and I didn't think it was bad. Still busy, but less busy than the Oxford one that time of day. The layout was tough to figure out though.

I wasn't impressed by Spoodles. Just felt like a bougie deli to me. If I'm going to do that, I'll go to NERB.

Oh yeah, I love NERB too, but it's way too expensive for every day.

I'm also partial to "Fantastic Pizza" over near Clark. Not just pizza, they do serviceable Indian and Greek food too.

If you're close to WPI, please tell me you've already tried Dragon Dynasty and Boomers. Cheap (ish) comfort food.

St. V's has its own problems... but parking isn't nearly as much of a chore there.

They've been coming "soon" for 15 years. I wouldn't hold your breath.

There's no where for teenagers to go, either. :(

The city has been communicating parking bans only online for *decades*. My mother's car got towed in 2000 for parking overnight on Dean St. No notices, no tickets, nothing. We later discovered the winter parking ban was in effect. But how would someone know who hasn't had to deal with it before?

One can only hope. We've been getting FiOS ad mailers for over a decade, when Charter/Spectrum is actually the only hardwired internet that's available.

I'd recommend the Highland St. location. Grove St. is fine, but not as good.

This is what I was going to suggest. My local branch has about 10 video games (nothing newer than WiiU), but my kids will request games and get them from all over the CW/MARS system.

When I've needed to call AAA in the past two years, it always takes FOREVER for someone to be routed to me (even if the call itself is simple).

It's worth it to call back if you've been waiting a long time and get a new ETA.
