I get needing front and back plates, but yearly inspections can be a bit tedious.

I have since moved out of state, but my mother was told that her car wouldn't pass inspection because her license plate was "too faded." Last time I saw her car was in August and it really wasn't that faded.

I could see having inspections ever 2 years for cars older than five years, but every year is a bit much.

Eastern mass? 617 covered it all. 413 was like near upstate ny to everyone east of worcester. My area code changed 3 times while growing up. 617-508-978

You guys remember Tremontaine?

I have my grandmother’s old address book that she started using in the 60’s, and our neighbor’s number is in there as “Fairview 5-####”. I checked my cell phone, and it’s the same number I have for her, except I have the whole 10 digits. Hasn’t changed in 60 years, through all the phone number changes and updates.

Lol "Her departure was greeted with a shrug from current and former ATD employees.” To be fair, think that's also feeling towards Tessler's departure.

I think they meant the bias against southern states.

This sub is a MA/Boston circlejerk, didn’t you know that?

Welp.

“In addition, investigators found search queries on Brian Walshe’s internet records for “how to dispose of a 115-pound woman’s body” and how to dismember a body, according to two law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation. Investigators turned their focus from a missing persons case to suspicion she may have been killed after receiving new information in the last three days, the sources told CNN.”

No it definitely doesn’t. Florida Man is a meme and it’s an extremely unrealistic picture of people who live there. It’s insane how anyone can say don’t live in Florida because “Florida Man” and get upvoted here. Such a shame. Are we to suggest we don’t have plenty of uneducated crackheads in MA?

You come so close to having a valid point and then you decide to misgender the woman.

Both surgeries should be considered medically necessary. I've never understood why people demonize trans people when these stories come up but never the insurance companies that actively work to cover as little as they can.

Me too! The town I live in now, you could dial 5 digits & that’s it. The last number of the exchange followed by last 4 numbers.

A friend’s parents continued to rent their phone well into the 90’s, until they realized they’d paid something like $3,000 for a rotary phone over the years.

They called the phone company and thankfully they stopped the charges.

Watching 617 shrink was a lesson in politics.

617 used to extend westward to about where New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts meet. Each time 617 got too crowded, the less important people got a new area code. Now 617 is really small, but it includes Boston.

Lmao

Same age, can confirm that your memory is spot on.

Party lines as late as the 90's? That's kind of mind blowing.

I agree with having two plates but my Dodge Challenger does not have a plate mount on the front bumper. I had to drill into the front fascia to mount the plate. Someone already hit it and tore it off, so it goes. It was replaced, something would have been damaged anyway. I would have liked a different European plate mount but I am an American, what is, is.

We’re the one for you New England, New England Telephone. Part of the Nynex family.

My town had their own phone company for ages. You used to be able to dial just the last 4 digits to each someone in town.

I lived in Idaho and Utah and both had front plates, Utah had inspections too.

Sounds like someone has a big red R on their windshield.

Same.

So explain why people are flocking to Florida then? https://studyfinds.org/florida-states-americans-moving-to/

I am not a so called "attention-whore" I am just someone with a different perspective and I don't see any reason I should have to hid my beliefs just because they are unpopular.
