Reply to Moving to Boston with my son soon and want to take him to his very first game, between the Bruins, the Celtics, and the Sox, which do you feel has the most family-friendly atmosphere? by Indecisive_kangaroo
Any are fine but for family friendliness I would probably say Red Sox--> Celtics --> Bruins.
Also be aware that professional sports games cost a lot more up here than they do in Baltimore. I spent more on 2 tickets to the Bruins game last weekend than I did for an entire weekend of Red Sox games in Baltimore this year. Actually maybe more than all 8 Red Sox games I attended in Baltimore this year.

My husband (from NJ) thinks the Bruins fans are the most authentic Boston fans. The first game I took him to, some guy a few rows in front of us kept screaming "Get rid of Chara, he's a fucking dinosaur!" in the best Boston accent.

I had a meeting this morning that was as painful as the first 59 minutes and 40 seconds of that game.

They've been there every single day since way before this summer. They've been at Forest Hills since I moved to Roslindale in 2011.

On the far right where it says "weekday schedule" click the down arrow then click "open full schedule PDF" and it will show you the schedule for the entire subway system.

I've never been asked for anything other than registration when I go to get my car inspected. No one's ever asked for my ID to prove that I am the registered owner of the car.

You're fine. You have all 4 branches of the green line you can take. The last B line leaves BC at 12:17am, the last C leaves Cleveland Circle at 12:21am, the last D leaves Riverside at 12:04am and the last E line doesn't leave Heath St until 12:47am so it will be after 1am by the time it gets to Copley.

Other than a brief period of time in 2015-16 where they piloted late night weekend service, the T has always ended between 12:30-1am in the 20 years that I've lived in Boston.

Reply to comment by PetzlPretzl in For people that bought single family homes in Boston or adjacent suburbs since last summer, how much are you paying per month in mortgage, taxes, insurance? by Bostonosaurus
I ended up in Roslindale after originally planning to move to JP as well. This was way back in 2011 and I was going to get a 1 BR apartment in JP but realized (it was a buyers market at the time) that I could buy for not much more than I would be paying in rent for a 1 BR. I bought a 3 BR SFH and I pay less for my mortgage (with taxes and insurance escrowed in) than most people pay for a 1 BR apartment these days.

But you'd still have to get through the city. 93S from Somerville to Quincy sucks 24 hrs/day.

It's not horrible. You can get to 93 in Methuen or Rte 3/495 via the Lowell connector.

My in-laws live in New Jersey and my MIL always says she could never live in MA because it's so much colder. The weather is essentially the same.

Reply to comment by BannedMyName in Curious about drivers merging onto the highway by EthicalBribes
I was taught way back when (2000) to put your left blinker on when merging on to the highway because it will make the cars on the highway more likely to move over for you. No idea if that's true or not.
LadyGreyIcedTea t1_iwhiedg wrote
The only highway where I can think of this happening is on 128 north of the 95 split where there are actual stop signs on the on ramp. Everywhere else no one even yields when getting on and expects other drivers to move over and let them on.

Reply to Going Skiing with BSSC by imp_924
I don't ski but I've had overall positive experiences with BSSC. I played floor hockey with them for several years and also did flag football with them one summer. I have done their white water rafting and kayaking trips in Maine before.

I live within Boston city limits and 12 miles from Logan. It has only ever taken me 30-45 minutes to get to the airport if I'm going in at 3:30am for a 5am flight.

I was just in Pepperell yesterday for a work appointment as well as nearby Tyngsboro. The families I work with who live in these towns have to go to neighboring towns for pharmacies because their towns are legit the boonies. When I drive through I always think how nice the houses are and how much land they have compared to my tiny yard but there's no way I could be an hour + away from Logan, Fenway and Gillette.

Reply to How much do you pay for rent? by Vinsantoo
I pay $1800 mortgage (which includes taxes and insurance) for a 3 BR single family house in Roslindale. My next door neighbors pay more than that in rent for a 2 BR half of a duplex.
