> I’ve tried getting the city involved but the health inspector cancelled the appointment because it didn’t fit in his schedule.

push this up the chain of command if you can. if you can't, contact your city councilor and mention this behavior, that might free up some room in this schedule. they absolutely shouldn't be cancelling on you without proper followup

Imagine coming to Boston for the first time, during this Bs season, wanting to see a hockey game, and choosing to spend your time watching BU college hockey lmao

Quincy market's a tourist trap, but I suppose it's an iconic, historical tourist trap. If you want a much better food hall, go to High Street Place, probably the best food hall in metro Boston right now - all the café's there serves great food, beer & wine, as each café specializes & can serve their own alcohol.

Additionally, she'll love the Boston Public Library, when entered from the eastern Trinity Church entrance, as the eastern half might as well be a museum & movie set with its own internal courtyard. Plus it's right next to the Prudential Center & Copley Place malls.

What? There was no rape here. Don't overuse that word and throw accusations like that around lightly!

All we know is a guy had a flashlight and was going up the fire escapes to the third floor. OP's own words are "possibly trying to get in".

I agree it's concerning for sure, but the person never broke in, and we (as outside redditors) don't know the full details. People are innocent until they are proven guilty. I don't want a police force that is so powerful they can arrest someone just because they feel like it.

What in your opinion should the police do here?

There is an adorable little coffee shop in the North End, directly across from the Old North Church. Caffe Lil Italy, if I recall correctly. That might be fun for her, and Old North itself is stunning.

No, but what exactly should they do here? Arrest him? On what charges?

He had no weapon on him, by the time the cops came he wasn't trespassing. Unless OP has video proof and is trying to press charges for trespassing, the cops don't really have anything solid to arrest him on.

Its shitty catch-22, but unless you're in favor of a more authoritarian police force, there's not much they should do.

I’ve been googling but there’s so much info, I’d rather here right from the source. Who knows their city better than you guys right. We’re in town for three days; basically staying smack between TD garden and Quincy market. first day I’m hoping to make a reservation at tavern on the park (I think that’s the name, the one right beside td garden) and then the game.

The next day is wide open , but she’s always wanted to go to Quincy market so I’m thinking after grabbing coffee we’ll have lunch there.

She’s a senior so walking for long periods would be hard for her, but we’re going to take lots of breaks and if need be use public transport. (Basically why I picked the hotel I did, it’s close to the two things she wants to do most)

She basically really loves coffee and people watching, a bit of shopping (not high end) and easy pub food. I don’t think she’d be able to walk the freedom trail but maybe there’s some transport tours running late March?

Appreciate all info. We’re driving from Canada and can’t wait ; my husband and I have been a few times and we just love Boston!

If you are a museum person or even if you are not I would recommend the MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum- they are very close to one another as well. Shopping inside the Prudential/Copley mall, walking down Newbury st. Just trying to think of inside ideas for the most part

The manager is correct for not giving you access to video and confidential info about members. It could mean serious trouble for the company and violates its customers. What if they gave someone your address and phone number because they claimed that you stole from them?

It sucks that you lost something of value but you need to accept that they are gone and be more careful in the future. The police definitely don’t care about someone losing their AirPods.
