Hola restaurant in southborough. Don’t know if that’s too far. Great drinks, chips are fresh, tacos were awesome. I’m from Texas., closest thing I’ve had comparable to back home.

This isn’t uncommon. It could be weather (high cross winds), mechanical issues with the plane, or JetBlue needing that plane in Boston for some reason. Before they installed the landing system fog was the usual reason for a diversion.

I went to wpi and we had to have spectrum at our apartment, obviously. Had to upgrade to higher speeds during COVID to handle online classes and as soon as we upgraded, the internet started dying 3-4x/day. We called spectrum and they sent a service guy. He walked in and immediately went “oh, I see the problem, they gave you a router from 2012!” Have never face palmed harder in my life

Good luck with anything but Spectrum. Been there, done that, tried everything else.

In the middle of a blizzard, even when I lose power, I can fire up the generator and still have cable and internet. FIOS barely works on a sunny day with no wind.

With Spectrum I can have 5 devices all streaming and no issues. No other service can do that.

The sopping wet/cheesy/consomme thing really doesn't do it for me. Feels like hazy IPAs; a consumable fad that needs to go away. Maybe I'm just a crotchety 35 year old.

Wish there was a place in town that did proper al pastor. Would be all over that.

The only explanation I can think of for this is these people have never had authentic Mexican food before.

It's basically a much smaller scale Margaritas.

I mean the food is fine. I just would not slap the authentic tag on it.

You are 100% correct. Birra tacos aren't noticibly different in taste profiles. People don't order them enough due to expense or messiness or extra cost and then the meat sits around and there's nothing I've really tasted which made any big impact that made them better IMHO.

Al pastor is so tasty!

As a former bank auditor, St Mary's is a bank to be proud of . Most people don't realize how hard it is to try to do it the right way while treating people well.

I don't have a St Mary's near my neighborhood, but if you e got one near you, you should be their customer. They live to serve their clients, employees, and community.

They should pay me for being a hype man, but in the end, documented business processes and good value and due diligence on behalf of clients are the greatest gifts that good business still offers us.

I have also heard they treat their employees like real humans. (I don't know anyone personally there, so I cannot verify that).
