take the train, you rube
ok now that that’s out of the way—use SpotHero to reserve a spot. or just park near the Garden in one of the garages. there is no shortage of parking garage space in downtown Boston outside of the 9-5 rush unless it’s during a bruins/Celtics game.

This is 100% false. Most hotels require 21+ at check in.

Years ago I'd do this with the 57 in the morning but when the weather was bad I'd walk upstream to get a better chance at a seat. A few times I made it from St Elizabeth's nearly the whole way to Oak Square before finally getting a bus.

Yup I’ve always heard Bostons airport being so close was a pro but it’s literally impossible to get to and from downtown during rush hour. The silver line being shit is a sunk cost and I feel like it’d be way better if they directed people with constant shuttles to the blue line. Chicago’s airport is an hour away from downtown but at least you can just plan accordingly and chill the entire time instead of running the gambit

Ever since they got rid of the trolleybusses the 71/73 lines have gone rapidly downhill.

After all of the bs around LaSalle and Eric Adams just wasting money on more cops, NY Dems have a lot of work to do. (Not that MA is perfect either).

Lots of people are keying in on MassGOP running Diehl after Baker “retired”, but I think there’s more to the story. For a long time MassGOP was run by Kirsten Hughes, who was fairly moderate; at least, she and Baker have a lot in common. MassGOP shifted far right like the rest of the GOP, and in 2019 it was clear Hughes wouldn’t have the votes to continue on, so she didn’t run. She was replaced by Trumpian Republican Jim Lyons. He truly represents the Massachusetts Republican Party. He and Baker have always had a frosty relationship, so I suspect Baker “retired” because he knew he wouldn’t have the support of MassGOP. So he went out on top. He didn’t lose a primary or otherwise suffer any embarrassment from his own party and left the Governorship with a winning record. Strategically a great move. He’s completely untarnished by any of this. But I think it’s important to recognize that Baker “retired” because he knew that the politics of continuing would harm him and put him in a position that would make him weaker. For himself, and I believe for the benefit of the Commonwealth, he stepped aside, knowing the GOP would self-destruct one way or another. I hope this doesn’t come off as a criticism of Baker. I think he did the right thing for all the right reasons. I really just want to emphasize that the cancerous nature of the GOP has been influencing the decisions of policy makers for several years. Baker didn’t just get tired and decide to retire; he made strategic decision based on what was happening in his own party and found that the best route was to retire. That was probably a difficult realization for him. I’m grateful that he didn’t try to fix the unfixable, and chose the best path for Massachusetts.

Despite the (R) next to their names, Diehl is quite different than Baker and Romney
