Mansfield is 50 minutes away. Basically everything on 495 is 45 minutes away. Keep justify living in western mass, it’s humorous. Anything besides long meadow and the valley is basically irrelevant.

They should have just went the traditional route - nice marble plaque with a big base, engraved image, some kind words and be done. If he were alive he would be like wtf is that?

How bout you sculpt deez nuts

Oh that's good. That might even be better than Fenway.

All the complaining about this sculpture is making me like it more. Cool, you found the rude angle. Pat yourself on the back, Debbie.

West Coast Swing - A great social style and rhythm. An incredible community.

As far as Salsa. I’ve never been, but seems like it is more of a college hang-out with the occassional exhibition style choreographed or partner-patterend performances vs a true social salsa club. But, I’ve never been so I could be wrong.

Once upon a time Providence had popular monthly dance that pulled dancers from all around the region.

Your caveat about not looking for the “wedding style” dance lessons tells me you have a clue about what true social dancing provides. Also, your emphasis on movement translating to potential dance interests is really telling of your interest and appreciation. Good luck!! I’ve been away from the social dance scene for too long, but pandemic has definitely had an impact. I sense the community anchors have somewhat lost hold, but hopefully I am wrong.

DM me if you’d like to chat more. I hope you and your partner the best. Also, remember, Love to Dance, Don’t Dance to Love. Dance with as many people as possible!!!

My parents' 5 br sold for less than 300K last year in a suburb even closer to Enfield. If people really don't care about being in a wealthy district, you can get really inexpensive houses.

They didn't offer the public the option of an ordinary bronze statue of MLK standing atop a granite pedestal (like the famous George Washington statue). If they had, it would've won over this reductionist crap.

I’m a sculptor but ok, buddy, you won your imaginary argument. Thanks for proving that you’re a turd penis just like the statue.

To all the ladies who like doing a lil coke off a rager 😉

Don't open the door for anybody without a warrant

Does anybody support this statue? I feel like we can and should have a better one installed

It's a loose statement. I know our ghettos are miles ahead of ghettos in every place in the world and even in this country. I also know if there's a hurricane event like Ira or Sandy that hits Boston, you're going to have a lot of Black and Brown people displaced or underwater with no ability or finances to move without waiting for FEMA for years, and a humanitarian crisis in the short term.

J&L dance studio in Malden!! They are amazing, more people should know about them! Great teachers, super affordable, both salsa/bachata classes at multiple levels.

Literally everywhere else.

TIL there are ghettos in Boston

As one of those Libertarian types, I not only believe humans involvement in climate change is real, but I also believe we're past the point of no return and probably need to make some unwanted adjustments to save lower socio-economic classes from a social upheaval weather event that will only affect poor people. Many of the already low lying land is practically a ghetto (East Boston, Southie, Dorchester, Quincy). Remember what happened when the levies broke in Louisiana? I'm not even going to discuss how gas energy is extremely efficient and rug-pulling poor people who's next gallon of gas is getting them to the grocery store or picking up their kids from school. Imagine telling India their poor people can't have their first gas scooter and stunting their growth.

Look we're going to have to do a few dirty things to make things better for everyone.

If we really cared about the environment we would rapidly move to nuclear energy to stop carbon emissions, since that has the most effect. I kind of hate the issue with arguing over small change when the big issues are right there, and I'm willing to compromise to make that 80% cleanup while sacrificing 20%. Some crabs may have to be sacrificed here.

Leaking something

Not like they have an issue today

Try 30 minutes.

The COL still stands. The quality of home and school you get there compared to the same price around Boston is way better.

La Fabrica in Central Square may be what you're looking for for a bar that has salsa/bachata and food + drink

Isn't dredging terrible for the environment?

They’re so expensive!! I want to get back into Lego after over a decade, but I can’t justify buying any cool sets

I was gonna say, I just saw someone post a positive picture about this a few hours ago and I have to lean toward the positive outlook.

Once I saw the MLK/Coretta photo, I had an "oh" moment. Now I'm "getting to know" this sculpture. I don't know if that's the right approach for a sculpture artistically, but I'm fine with a sculpture that looks weird until you "get to know" it.

Let's see a year from now if it still makes sense.
