Reply to comment by bostexa in Why is the Masspike the only toll road in Mass? by bostexa
I honestly don't mind paying tolls. I live in Bellingham, and it costs about $2 one way to use I-90 from 495 to downtown Boston. There's always Route 9 or I-95/93 as toll free routes for me

Most of 126 through bellingham is shit. Once you cross into Medway or even Woonsocket, the road becomes 100x smoother

Back in 2013 or 14, NIMBYs rejected a proposal for an EMC office along Maple Street. Once rejected, they replaced the plans with ones for a warehouse. We could've had much better schools and funding, but no.
Edit: forgot a very important detail. It was in Bellingham

Good that you tried both! Mikes is just a tourist trap now with long ass lines and high prices.

According to the European Model, Saturday morning is supposed to be below -10 F in most of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island except for places right along the coast. Northern New England and western Mass are supposed to be even colder, with widespread -20s or even -30s in Northern NH.

Go to Bova's Bakery instead of Mike's. Far shorter lines and better quality cannoli.

If she goes to prison, it will probably be MCI Framingham or the Western Mass Women's Prison

It can be interpreted as either 1st or 2nd, as strangling usually is intended to kill

I think she'll be charged with 1st degree murder due to the children being strangled. Fucking grim

What are you even saying.
The power restoration crews often expect to work their asses off after storms. It's not like they were held at gunpoint to do so.

The whole area around Franklin is very safe

(The darker blue shade of some neighborhoods is mainly due to petty crime against businesses (shoplifting, etc), not violent crime.)

If you don't mind commuting a bit, Franklin MA might not be that bad of a place to look either. It's about 30 minutes from both Marlborough and Norwood. It has 2 commuter rail stops (Forge Park and Franklin) on the same line as Norwood. BJs, Shaws, and Stop & Shop are in Franklin, while Market Basket, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Home Depot are in neighboring Bellingham, and the Wrentham Outlets are quite close by. Walkability is a bit iffy, especially in West Central Franklin due to 140 being a 4 lane expressway between the Bellingham border and 495.

There are also 4 walmarts within 25 minutes of the town center, those being the one in North Bellingham (duh), N. Smithfield, RI, Northbridge, and N. Attleboro

Reply to Is Bellingham all bad in terms of crime? by codeQueen
Overall, Bellingham is fine. There are nice houses in South Bellingham, as well as apartments in Central Bellingham. The commuter rail is quite close by in Franklin. Also, there's a shit ton of shops, especially near Exits 18 (46) and 17 (43, which is in Franklin). South Bellingham has the added bonus of having easier access to Worcester and Providence via MA 146, and Attleboro via 122, 114, 120, or 295.

Reply to Would you rather live in Boston or Toronto? by veryfatcat3
I'd rather live in Boston. Downtown Toronto stinks of weed and cigarettes, and traffic is atrocious. Boston, on the other hand, is much cleaner and is right next to the ocean.
