Lately I’ve also noticed this hatchback parking on backstreets and blasting music, turning their car alarm on and off, like they are begging for attention. Get a life, no one wants to hear your shitty rap while you vape with your friends on the sidewalk. Go to a club like an adult.

The Federal Hill area (west of downtown)is worth checking out. 29M, and I moved here from Florida last October, after flying up and checking out the city for a weekend.

I like the area, have been able to live without a car. The area from here to downtown is very walkable. I think the city being so walkable makes it a very nice location for dog-lovers.

It can be a little difficult to break into social circles, but I’ve found the dating pool of young professionals/grad students to be fine. You have to put effort in to get the results you want.

I’m sure you were at the right site, amtrak.com.

It may be flexible or last-minute pricing they do the day of the trip? I’m not sure. But since I don’t buy a MBTA/Amtrak ticket until I actually get on the train, I usually check the amtrak website for cheaper tickets the day/or a few hours before I’m getting ready to head to the train station. Believe it or not, there have been times where there is an amtrak regional line leaving around the same time as the MBTA, and at a cheaper price. I’d say it happens maybe 1/5 trips I take.

It can be a very pleasant trip when nothing is delayed. The operator’s accent over the PA usually gets a laugh or two out of me. Watch a tv show or get a chance to read that book you’ve been putting off.

Getting off at Back Bay is my favorite stop. Only because there are usually pigeons at the back of the Dunkin Donuts line inside.

Man, I take this all the time to go to BOS and back. It’s incredibly convenient, especially looking at the rest of the country’s options.

No safety concerns, but please pay attention to the stops and train schedule. Use the MBTA app. Don’t be the guy getting on a train that doesn’t go to your stop. You can pay on the app on your train.

Activate your ticket right before they come to collect. Sometimes they are understaffed or striking by not collecting, and you got yourself a free trip and you can save your digital ticket for later.

Always check the Amtrak schedule because the trips can get down to $9, and cheaper than the T. As you said though, that schedule is harder to line up.

Fuck them, I’ve kept my entire A/C and heating unit off for over a month now. Actually, today is the 2nd day in a month where I turn the de-humidifier on.

Gotta say thanks to RI Energy for being soooo transparent that they are a piece of shit utility company. The plus side of making my blood boil is I have no need for heating anymore!

As long as that butcher is next to it, I don’t really care to sit over there even with more available seating. Beautiful area though and I support opening the area up.

Edit: I support hearing any ideas for that area because there is absolutely room to improve.
