Congrats, friend!
The /r/bostonbruins sub is pretty fanatical, I bet they’d love to see/hear about your mom getting to her first B’s game.

There are several commercial garages in the North End area. There's also a large public lot that is owned by the city but run by LAZ parking underneath Boston Common that might be your best choice for convenience and price. Haymarket Garage is also a block from the burlesque, so it's right next to where you'll be ending your night.

Those buses actually are shown on the subway map as a thinner blue line, which is listed in the legend as "free Logan Airport shuttle bus".

tbh no idea I've only relied on them when the silver line is busted as I live along the red line (damn you lack of red-blue connector)

Are the Massport shuttles less frequent now? I've never had too much trouble waiting for them and getting to Airport station.

Yes, and if you read what I wrote I never claimed that it was. I said it was before air travel was commonplace.
The airport station opened in 1952 which was when someone taking a flight somewhere was considered a pretty big deal. To the point that the passengers would buy a new outfit and the whole family was likely to come and see them off.

We’ve got tickets to the 23rd! Here’s the kicker… my mom is a Habs fan. yes, we are scared of bruins fans LOL but she also likes the bruins, and my aunt who just passed was a huge bruins fan, so she’s wearing a bruins jersey for her. (And also maybe our safety… lol?)

I can't imagine they'd have very many employees if they did.

Good. I hope we see the party vanish into obscurity in our life time. The entire party holds this country back from it's full potential.

This is great info. We’re coming from Atlantic Canada so we’re used to cold but weren’t quite sure how Boston winter is comparable! I’ve always heard it’s frigid cold

It’s April. It will likely be raining. Pack soap and find a quiet alley.

Reply to comment by oh_hi_there___ in Best RMV by oh_hi_there___
I would think so. If I ever need to go back to the RMV I plan to call again to try to get an appointment bc their website seems unable to make any appointments from my experience. I personally preferred to call and be on hold at home and be able to do things with the call going in the background rather than wait in line there.

Lol, I used to complain about that on the other end – by bus and train it took my 2 hours to get home from O’Hare
