The president also has all expenses paid and has quite a cushy for-life benefits package. Not to mention what it does for your career earning potential thereafter.
Edit: oh and all those sweet insider stock trading tips.

Not really. A job with this type of public scrutiny and the current state of the T should be getting paid a whole lot more tbh.

They had a dump truck full of snow to disperse on the ground around the fire dept. where they were filming to make it look like it had snowed.

Saw them shoveling a dump truck full of snow for this in the morning. It created quite the traffic back up in Cambridge street.

Have you even been to downtown Boston? Do you know how many buildings are already ground floor retail and residences above? There are many. Like that is actually what a ton of it already is. Ground floor retail with commercial or residential above.

The surrounding buildings only see traffic weekdays from 9-5? Buddy, Faneuil Hall is directly across the street and it’s the 4th largest tourist attraction in the country. It’s much busier than you are giving it credit for and Scollay Square was demolished 60 years ago.

What about Dorchester, Hyde Park, West Roxbury, Jamaica plain and Brighton? Is it walkable from those parts if the city?

Doubt it will work but most garages have weekend rates that are reasonably priced and much cheaper than the inevitable ticket

That sums it up well. The brew operation set up looked unnecessarily large to boot.

Sure but that area is weird and Roadrunner isn’t just gonna carry a place to success. Roadrunner (a) isn’t that big (b) doesn’t have shows every single night (c) isn’t actually next door to brato location (d) has several other better options for food and drink actually next door.
City’s hottest music club is MGM though.

Their food wasn’t good enough or menu expansive enough to be a good restaurant and the beer wasn’t good enough to be a great brewery.

Who is allowed to have an opinion? Everyone. I’m not telling anyone to stop, nor do I have the capacity to prevent anyone from publicly having an opinion. I am just throwing my hat in the opinion ring.

Let me tell ya, the incessant bitching about this public art installation (which is fine by the way) doesn’t do anything to make Boston seem less racist.

It does. It actually gives you the most accurate listing of what is in the area when you use google maps. There is even a categorical search option labeled “things to do”

Reply to comment by Chippopotanuse in Boston has the most expensive Thanksgiving dinners in America by Pepscoable
Lots of little things off in your anecdotal calculation (you left two groups of multiple products off your list), but most importantly, no one said it was unaffordable. Just that the average prices they used in their methodology (which they spell out) make it the most expensive out of the major US cities.
As someone who lives in the metro area that isn’t a suburb, my figure looks a lot more like theirs and nothing like yours.
donkadunny t1_iwo4c3r wrote
Yeah. It snows more in Boston and Spring comes 2 weeks earlier in NYC. Generally the same otherwise though.

Yes! No taxes and new patient/recertification deals the dispensaries offer more than subsidize the price of the med card.

That’s a rough one over there. Sometimes I cut away into lower Allston down Windom to western to avoid that mess.
