Pretty sure they're complaining about BMX bikes (pedals, no motors).

The 128 part is accessible and shows no signs of ever being blocked off, but at the same time it still looks and feels very much like just an old rail bridge.

I haven't been out there since last spring when this was recorded. Once it warms up I'll head out again and shoot the update.

The bridge over 128? Yup.

The bridge over the tracks? More often than not, but every now and then somebody fixes the fence.

Here's video from last year starting near the Market Basket in Waltham.

The closing of the track freed up a ton of space. It's all mostly just that one development. South of that it's the same strip mall infested continuation of Lawrence and Methuen it's always been.

There's a few China buffets that do steak on the weekends.

Busted on a DUI.

Right there with you. I was the one donating it to UnchARTed.

Every MB and more than a few convenience stores. It's bottled by Coke these days so not that rare.

The inventor's grave can be found in Lowell Cemetery near the Park and Knapp entrance (Dr. Augustin Thompson, it's like an 8-foot high white thing with pillars).

There is a festival in Lisbon, Maine July 7th.

I'm just going based on their posting history.

FelinefriendsNH is a no-kill up in Salem.

They're going to Idaho. I think it's just Canada with potatoes.

Why is this a "get caught" situation? The kid clearly doesn't know they're doing something wrong (put aside for a second the fact that they're not). How does "getting caught" apply to this situation at all from the kid's perspective?

Ehh, issue is still the teacher. But I hear you.

Have they given him a reason or are they just harassing him?

Bad teacher. Shouldn't be enforcing their hangups. Don't go full Karen, but mention it to the principal.

Having said that, what's the discipline?

Fix it. Bostonians must remain within the 128 holding cell.

Great guy. I've had him do a variety of work on jackets, pants, and even a backpack.

I'm more of a Brew'd guy for flavor and cost, but have to acknowledge that Coffee & Cotton has way more space.

The Lowell public library has a no food or beverages policy, not sure how much they enforce it.

UML has plenty of random study places and they sell Starbucks products. There's some nice couches at University Crossing overlooking the Howe Bridge.

Chelmsford has KJ's on Chelmsford St across from a Dunks and Java Room closer to the center. Both decent size with good coffee.

Sledding and snowshoeing?

Is this a case of them threatening to kill off a shit ton of greenspace and then watching us breath a sigh of relief when they only kill off a metric shit ton? I really like that hammock park behind the arena.

What's the difference between this and them going door-to-door going through everybody's house? Do you not want them to catch serial killers?

So far the response has been a bunch of thumbs up, a couple of "they don't even take care of the sidewalks," and a couple of "they won't because they can't get salt in the river."

I started the idea of plowing the Riverwalk (Fox Hall to Memorial Auditorium) as a post on the FB group Lowell Live Feed. There's a couple of City Councilors who follow the dialogues there so we'll see if it gets any traction (pun unavoidable).

Worst case scenario: we could get together and shovel it.

I'm the person who suggested Minuteman and even on that I wasn't entirely on the money. Reports following the recent storm are that it was kind of spotty. Sorry.
