It’s the name of the town.

Reply to Can you report found blue bikes? by WhaleWatchersMod
>who would ride one that far?
You might be surprised. I've done a 73-mile round trip, from Dracut to Boston and back, in a single day. No particular reason, except to prove I could (the first time) and because why not (the second time). :)
Not on a Blue Bike, but not on a particularly pricey/nice bike either. Just a cheap-ass Schwinn Suburban.

Nobody hates disabled people. The likely hood of this car blocking anybody that’s disabled is minute.

No one here has anything that could accurately be described as energetic opinions. I mistook the plans because the opposition to the 140/150 center st project comes from the “Codman square association” according to the globe and the first link was submitted by the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation thus the confusion and why it’s always import to tripple check which obviously I didn’t.

Can you really not tell gate was supposed to say hate? Do you have any ability to understand context or are you a bird brain that needs everything to be explicitly stated?

Reply to Converting wood burning fireplace to Gas by trudeljb
We like our gas insert and it provides a good amount of heat, but would not recommend the company we worked with, commonwealth fireplace. Pretty slow and disorganized and expensive.

MY THOUGHT EXACTLY! Miss your exit? You will have maybe 15 seconds to try again. And would you accept from the left hand lane on a highway?

You tell me what it means to gate disable someone, I haven’t the foggiest.

To be fair, sounds better than graduating college and starting your adult working life in the worst recession since the Great Depression
That was NOT fun trying to start a career back then.

Holy shit, you debunked supply and demand? I can’t wait to read the paper.

That's fine on rotaries that are actually just circles, but there are more than a few that have specific lanes that shunt you to places you don't want to go.

Because they were the only company willing to build here in Massachusetts.
We should not have built them domestically, to appease western ma, we should have purchased them from Europe.
The sad part is it's not like the factory is going to remain open after the mbta gets there trains. There is hardly any demand for these trains in the US.

Additionally most fireworks of that scale are electronically triggered vs your uncle’s backyard display that uses a half smoked Newport.

Oh man the pre-GPS days were a challenge. Good luck finding a street where Elm and Bolton are on the left, followed by Oak on the right. Especially when you were so lost you didn't know what town you were in.

Violence and gunshots on the T is absolutely a T problem. There’s just nothing they can do about it

Why are we buying infrastructure from Chinese government anyways? For the amount of money and trouble it created, we could have built them in house.

And so maybe this project should be built - I didn’t say it shouldn’t be.
Do you know the area? And have you seen the project proposal? I haven’t seen the proposed building, so I’m reserving judgment - since the average person on this sub couldn’t even find this neighborhood other than on a Red Line map, I’m not sure we’re dealing with informed opinions. Everyone’s just screaming “NIMBYs bad” for fake internet points.
