I’ve had this thought too. Isn’t hanscom already owned by massport?

I frequently fly out of O'Hare in Chicago for work travel and I usually take the blue line even though I can expense an Uber simply because I don't need to worry about beating traffic. I've done it so many times for personal travel that it's not difficult for me.

Just need to move the airport at this point honestly, it’s great having it close to the city but with how fucked the city is on housing might as well use the space differently and build a new airport north

I asked them - because I bought it at the end of my lease through the finance company they refused to help me

Can the dealer where you bought the car handle it? I’ve never done a lease, but the last time I bought a car, the dealer handled the transfer of registration for me. It couldn’t hurt to ask.

That’s why we get takeout.

If you’re willing to pay, try the Courtyard North Station garage.

Agree. You can rent a LOT of cars and take a TON of Ubers for the price of car ownership.

The Loft in North Andover has poutine. Not worth the drive. ….

I'd say Chestnut Hill/Brighton. Brookline if you don't bring your car or can afford to park privately (no overnight street parking). It's a versatile location--you can be bougie in Brookline, party in Allston, or be whatever I am in Brighton. Green line will take you downtown (maybe even this century) and you can catch a bus to Cambridge.
You could go further out and get a bit more house. But it's still expensive and then you have to drive around a lot more. Not worth it. But maybe I'm biased. Just remember that driving and parking here really blows, and I learned to drive around LA and spent time in DC.
In terms of stuff to do, it depends what you enjoy! I recommend doing the touristy stuff across the city (Fenway, Boston Common, the library, freedom trail, museums, acquarium, zoo, all the stuff you see online). Take your time with it. Go out for drinks and food.
More locally, tons of good food of all kinds. Publick House in Brookline, Tasca, Cafè Landwer, Moogy's. Many local bars, like Harry's or the Ave. Maybe pass on the Silhouette, but hey you do you. Again, just take your time.
Go walk around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir and visit the Waterworks Museum. Coolidge Corner Theater does these awesome "After Midnight" showings. For the silent films, they often get live accompanyment, which cna be awesome.

Yup, and an Uber would have been in that same traffic.

The blue line and the red line are subways under the elevated loop, but there are free transfers between them when you leave the subway stop and tap back into the elevated stop (or vice versa). It also serves the "loop" neighborhood, which is the area around the physical loop.

Why would a republic vote for someone that would damage their platform. Diehl was DOA in the election and was also an election denier and a trump supporter. Both are showing they will hurt the party. Seems like something an informed citizen would do.
