Reply to 'Wholly unnecessary': Mass. House speaker says he will not comply with state auditor's legislative probe by throwsplasticattrees
Speaker Mariano has been serving Quincy, Weymouth and Holbrook for over 30 years and has mostly run unopposed
He's not on my ballot, and he sounds like a blow-valve, but I voted for Auditor DiZoglio and want her to do her job and earn her paycheck. I also want my representatives to be transparent so I will ask mine to work on complying with the audit

I have seen them, but mostly on monorail systems
There aren't platform screen doors in LA, NYC, Chicago, DC, most of London

I don't know the rules in Cambridge, but in Boston you can be cited for not removing the old ones
It's super petty, but if you get pulled over by a jerk it's not worth the extra fine

Did I just hear about a new commuter rail station on the Providence line? Depending on the location might be good for foot traffic

Rolling the dice that the parking enforcement doesn't issue a ticket. Usually the tow people are only on standby at 8am

Reply to Newbury Hotel alternative by lovender99
If the wedding is on a popular weekend it can be pricey
this sub is not going to do any better than searching Expedia, TripAdvisor or Google for room rates for specific dates, and a wedding block might just give you the best rate available
Consider that locations that aren't the venue mean that they need time or transportation to get there
Look at the trade off of navigating the subway, walking, or calling Lyft, or renting a car & parking just for a cheaper room rate

Visited a different city recently - they had a vertical bike rack in their trains an buses that held the bike up to minimize the space they might take up and prevent them from moving around
in the space of maybe 1 - 1.5 seats?
We should have the same

I'm doubtful Home Despot does much QA on native plants
They sold Purple loostrife in my local area for years knowing it was invasive
And I won't buy from them knowing how the corporation predominately donates money to the Republican party
Sorry / not really to bring up society and "politics"
