19million?

Like 20-30 bucks.

That’s so frustrating, I feel like quality of products and quality of service have gone down all over the area.

How are the donuts tho?

What’s the best place for donuts in the area?

London Tailor is pretty good. I take my stuff there. Occasionally I have to have him redo something but they take good care of me.

Best I’ve found in the city so far, interested to see what others say.

My understanding is they are the only medical shop in town. Is that wrong?

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Your post makes me think of how many projects I need help on.

What does everyone thing of posting “quick jobs” on this sub in general?

This is a great answer, thanks for taking the time to be so detailed.

Happy Cakeday, you are an approved submitter on /r/LowellMA with a 4 hour old account!

Ouch

Mill 5

They redid how they do their milk shakes. They are still really good but now they are huge and expensive.

I liked the smaller old style, but we just split one now.

You can schedule a free donation pick up from www.satruck.org (Salvation Army)

They will come get the couch and a bunch of other things for free.

I’m all for using a eco friendly alternative. I don’t know much about it.

You can always call local places and see if they deliver directly vs an app.

The restaurant and the person delivering your food makes better money when these apps are not involved.

They can be great for places that do not deliver

You can always just walk into a hotel lobby in the morning and help yourself to the complimentary breakfast.

They just remodeled / renovated Jade East on Rt 38.

I haven’t been since it reopened but its pretty good.

OK. I have driven through them in PA but you must remember better than I do. /s

No. Not with checkpoints that screen all people regardless of any evidence of a crime.

I get that it is legal for the cops to do it but it is in direct conflict with people being secure in their person and effects.

The police should only be allowed to stop you or anyone if they witness you doing something illegal or that would reasonably cause a person to suspect you of a crime.

In the case of DUI, the driver can’t maintain speed or position inside their lane, or they repeatedly break hard, or improper use of lights and signals, failure to fully stop 🛑, etc.

So many things are sufficient to trigger a stop, it is unreasonable to check everyone proactively.

They do them in rural areas to catch undocumented workers. I’ve driven through a few with my friend there who is a lawyer.

Basically he explained in PA as long as the police post that the check point is ahead and people can turn off to avoid it then its legal.

Ive also heard that if you are within 100 miles of an international border(which includes international airports so it covers most of the country) our rights are limited too.

Then in another thread it was pointed out that checkpoints were challenged in the Supreme Court and upheld as lawful activity for the police.

So I think we are pretty stuck with them from a legal perspective. But there can still be pressure on elected officials to limit them I guess

I’ve been told in another thread that it went to the Supreme Court in the 90’s and was upheld as a legal activity

I did not know that this was legal in Massachusetts!

We need to organize and change this law right fucking now! I’ve seen these in PA and it is just a way to harass everyone (sometimes minorities specifically), to pad cops overtime, and to intimidate the public.

Fuck this shit, call your elected officials

Art is the handmaid of human good.

It would be beautiful, it would reflect off the Merrimack, the lighting could be an event like Christmas Tree lightings are many places.

People love things like this, there are the Ice palace lights, the zoo lights, there is the 200 xmas tree display in Medford annually, the Boston common tree lighting, Rockefeller center, etc

Why not spend it on schools? Because our schools are well funded, not every dollar should be spent on utility.

This is funding the arts.

That is no small amount of money for an individual but more manageable as part of the city budget.

Some could be lit by projecting light onto them, which would be cheaper. Like one could have the city seal hitting it towards the top and that’s the whole display for 1.

Do you have any research from back when you did the interview about who else owns the other stacks?

Well we would only light them at night, so maybe we can do both? I never notice the lines of lights, on the one we have now, in the daytime.
