Yes! There's a wide range of skill levels, and beginners are definitely welcome.

We were allowed their work phones at night four in a room at a time but never personal phones.

The no phone thing must be new. They allotted time in the morning and at night to use personal phones when I went back in 2019.

Washburn does detox and has a sober living facility on a different campus. Right off main south. I believe the detox building was once for elderly care or something similar.

I've been, it's nice and clean. They have great food. I was lucky enough to get a single bedroom but most have four beds each. I forget how many meetings a day but they are mandatory and they do keep your phone the whole time you are there.

Thanks, maybe I’ll check that one out! Beginner friendly? I’m not very good hahaha

I’ll have to try checking it out! Is it beginner friendly?

I’m a super noob so I’m not sure if I’m the best person to start one though I was thinking about it.

I did like Barnes and Noble. I was never a Boarders fan.

and AMAZING FOOD!!!

I thought the Washburn house is for Elderly care and not drugs. My ex wife used to work there. Unless they went a totally different way which considering it is a private facility I don't think so. If you're looking for detox look into AdCare or spectrum health (not the cable company)

Yeah exactly, really not that bad. It’s a city.

I think for being the second largest city in New England these stats don’t seem too bad.

Yeah? Comfy place?

But you can wear sandals and other open-toed shoes? Makes no sense. It's an issue because people are weird.

Root and press!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton does better than I would have thought.

Major League in Auburn is solid in my experience. Haven’t been there in a few years though

BTs in Sturbridge is also good

Second vote for Tidepool. Great local shop.

I like the way your sarcasm works!

Sorry

Fair point

I loved the big box variety like Borders and B&N. The internet killed a lot of brick and mortar operations but one would think there's a big enough niche to support book stores. Perhaps Borders would have done better if they offered craft beer, ax throwing, free arcade games and trivia nights.
