Reply to Bringing my mom to Boston for the first time late March; she just turned 65 and it’s her dream to see a hockey game! I’ve never been to Boston in winter; any suggestions for what we can do to show her the best time? Interests in comments by no_tori_ous

3/23 is Bruins-Habs (the hockey rivalry, though Habs are baaaad now), and 3/25 is Bruins vs. Lightning (who are typically very good). Highly recommend catching one or both games.

I would recommend college hockey too because it’s super fun here, but it will be over by the .

Your city may have stupid zoning policies that raise the cost of development such that only a bank could be placed there because they can afford it.

It’s not even a joke, the local high school games are more packed. If you go for the atmosphere, pride games are a horrible suggestion

Within walking distance of the TD garden where game will be is tiny place called Regina Pizza. In the north end. Only pizza but Boston's best and promise worth the wait outside.

Bro what a shit comment. College hockey is great. Bruins tickets are expensive as hell if you haven't noticed. College game is good value plus way fewer drunken dipshits and the bands are appealing to many people.

Sitting in the waiting room at the RMV is something to do also, doesn’t mean it’s fun. You can’t suggest someone that is coming from far away in Canada to go see the bruins, and has 3 days in Boston, to go to a Boston Pride game. If no one here goes to the games, why would someone traveling from far away want to go.

Reply to Living in hell with Alpha Management, please help by hhh347

We also had a really bad experience with Alpha Management in 2022. They purchased our building mid lease and jacked up rent in our building 8-10%, turning over the entire building. Our radiator pipes banged at all hours of the night and our unit was always 80 degrees in the winter. They never responded to maintenance requests. We were lucky to have someone takeover our lease at the right time.

Wow I haven’t thought about alpha in years. I remember when I lived on Gardner I caught one of their employees peeping in apartment windows and he made up some story about some other guys running an unlicensed garage were going to hurt me.

Don't be surprised if the weather is surprisingly warm, also Faneuil Hall is pretty cool with of the history and the Boston Commons across the street is the Bull & Finch which if she liked Cheers the Bar that it was based on

Does anybody have “fuck you” money to rent out 4 billboards around the city warning people about Alpha? This racket has been going on for decades and Anwar Faisal is still a piece of shit. Boston Magazine even has ARCHIVES on him.

Boylston, Bowdoin, and Symphony (EDIT: and Valley Road way out on the Mattapan Line) are the only stations that require you to walk up a large number of steps. Hynes Convention Center has an escalator, and the other Green Line stops that are marked inaccessible are ground-level stops where you need to take a step up into the train but otherwise there's no steps.
