None of the American cheese curds I've found squeak. I've tried various ones from Market Basket and other grocery stores made in NY and Wisconsin. They're all not watery enough I think, they're dry balls of cheese masquerading as cheese curds.
There's gotta be a place around here somewhere that sources true Quebec based cheese curds 🤔 I just haven't found one yet.

East Boston tunnel was built in 1904. Airport was the 1923.
It was never on the bnh north shore right of way. That is behind down east cider, south of the blue line, pretty much abandoned. Nothing really predates the blue line right of way. It started as a street car line, but never changed much.
I even have a 1918 map with the 'blue line' on it but before the airport was filled in.

Unfortunately, this appears to be a transaction not covered by AAA

Poutine at McDonald's and Burger King up in Quebec, Canada blows a lot of these places out of the water. So sad, can't some fast food joint just clone it already. 😥

If this is the only reason to join AAA, it would be worth it. Look into whether the service you're looking for is covered by their branches and sign up.

Get AAA, and they have their own RMV services. They have an office in the financial district. I got my license easily, haymarket RMV was a nightmare in comparison.

Do you have a spreadsheet for other Canadian delicacies?
Ketchup chips - so far I've only found a handful, sometimes at Market basket or other grocery stores. Would so love to find some Lay's Ketchup chips tho, those things are the best.
Cheese curds in general - to make homemade poutine and just eat squeaky cheese. I've only found NY and Wisconsin versions which are so not the same as some OG Canadian cheese curds.
There's gotta be some other stuff too, it's just been so long since I've been up there that I'm forgetting all the goodies they got.

It was less that they didn't know and more that there wasn't the demand or ability to do it. The tunnel under the harbor and line that existed since the early 20th century into Eastie wasn't really near enough to the airport to extend in that direction. It made more sense to extend it to Revere as they did because the amount of people there who needed to get downtown was a much larger driver than people who needed to get to the airport.

I get what you're saying, but the MBTA route you suggest is three different transfers across three different modes; at each point there's a possibility of a delay, never mind the actual travel time.

I still remember the wizened tanning-bed denizen, bedecked in Trump regalia, who took over the inside of a Honey Dew donuts in Methuen hours before a New Hampshuh Trump rally. Was she yelling in support of Trump? The earned income tax credit? Nah, just shrieking about Hillary and jail.
This was in 2020.

A party full of Charlie Bakers would have crushed the midterms and be barreling into 2024. Instead we have this shit

Pepto didn’t touch this thing. Thought I was going to have to call a priest.
I tried a tumeric plant beverage that really helped.

My 15-20 minute drive at 5pm was 35 minutes yesterday afternoon, hours after the trailer overturned. It was also a rare double whammy that impacted drivers and red line takers.

Last time I landed in Logan from ATL it took me 3.5 to get off the PLANE! We sat on the runway for 3.5 fucking hours.

Two party system is a byproduct of first-past-the-post voting. We’d need to change that (preferably to Star or approval voting, imo) to have any decent chance at a different system sticking
