I don't understand why you are laughing.

Amtrak gets you to south station, then you will have to take ground transportation to North Station, where you get commuter rail. Unfortunately there is a gap in rail service between north and south station

Boston Common has a public skating pond. There are bathrooms and a little concession stand too.

I saw an article about this a day or two ago and the dude was smiling while being detained. Pure evil.

If the legislature were to allow another city to develop, like Springfield or Worcester, it would alleviate this problem.
It might mean Boston losing its death grip on power, but it sure beats this.

You have an awful lot of confidence in these elected representatives.

Google MDC rinks they will show you rinks located in the Boston and surrounding area. I see there is a rink in Peabody called James McVann-Louis O’keefe on Lowell street. You should be able to find one close. Open skating is not always available due to hockey and figure skating but I believe weekends would be available at specific times.
Edit also google DCR ice rinks

WMA always had the higher priority area code on account of the central location and prediction that Springfield would grow to be the size of New York.

I suspect it's meant to be to deal with chronic homelessness, as that's when the trend really tends to up. Factory workers (like, say, the 500 S&W workers Boston put out because they don't like their politics) who lose their jobs and need training in something else or they'll become homeless the rest of their lives

The idea seems to be to prioritize those at risk of chronic homelessness

You can rent guns and shoot them at On Target in Dracut. It's indoors.

That's a separate problem. We are capable of addressing multiple problems at the same time - and we should, to head off worse problems in the future. Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably a Conservative politician trying to distract you while they cut taxes for their billionaire owners.

I just paid 18$ for eggs… I couldn’t care less about “free college” when I along with others are going into debt from food and utilities.

We had a funding surplus this year. We can find the money to help people better themselves, especially since education will enable them to get better jobs in the future, generating more tax revenue as a result.
You gotta spend money to make money.

Free college is an investment in the future. A highly educated populace is more productive than a less-educated one. This sort of initiative pays for itself in the long run.

Breakers might still be decorated for the holidays too, which is usually impressive. My parents took a friend there after Christmas and it was still all decked out. Not sure how long they keep it that way.
