Honestly I like the mice but would prefer an assortment for eating. You could always include some mice or penguins.

If you’re a Cambridge resident. Otherwise you can’t park and your dog has to be on leash (the ranger does check).

I'm going there for the first time on Sunday. Hope it's not like this. Who did you see? It's not uncommon for different acts to breed different security measures

Yup it's been awhile, since the new fare vending machines I think. They seem to be thinner and lower quality too, which makes sense now that it's easier to get one.

Reply to Heat specialist for cold rooms? by Granite017
We have a similar room, which is essentially a porch that has been converted into a room.
We were on a tight budget, so we thoroughly caulked all sides of the baseboards, electrical outlets, and around the window frames, put in a thick carpet and padding on the floor, heavy fabric drapes for the windows in winter (but we change them out in summer), and we use the plastic film and a humidifier in winter as well.
This helped a lot, but of course isn't enough when the temp drops below 20°F. At that point we use a 900 watt space heater, but it's only needed sparingly. That's the least expensive route, anyway.

Reply to comment by Ieatflowers68 in Just an average Brit looking for advice on a solo holiday in Boston. by Ieatflowers68
The advice you’ve gotten above is generally great (particularly the list of pubs and bars - spot on!) but I would advise against spending any time at Encore. I suppose it’s fine if you’re really desperate but it’s pretty isolated from the rest of the city and rather sad - not much like Vegas honestly.

Ah cheap rent... those were the days. I'm in the process of permanently moving to NY and it is wild how close the rents are coming these days. Anyway, it's good you got to see some place around. It's a fun city.

Thanks! Totally get that. I moved in couple of years ago in at 2100 and started paying 2550 last year. I am anticipating them going to 2700-2750ish for existing 1b/1b so yeah your input gives me more of an incentive to look.

I mean, with all the mass shootings, I kind of don’t blame them for being all keyed up and anal.

Where's Boston Magazine's tribute to the Iraq War and the 1,000,000 Iraqis who died, and the ~2,000 US troops?
What's that?
Oh! We only want to honor things that reinforce how good we feel about ourselves. Got it.

Don’t want to say which exact ones but I’d just go on apartments dot com and filter by that criteria. I’d do $3000 to be safe but try to negotiate. I was able to renew for &2800 after getting it for $2400/month with one of those move in deals (don’t think they do those anymore.

May be closer, but definitely not comfortably walkable to either.

If you don’t mind sharing, what apartments are those? I am here paying 2550/month without parking for 1b/1b in Peabody. Need to get 2b and scoping few places in Peabody/Danvers/Salem/ Beverly area

McCrea’s caramels are a crowd pleaser and founded and manufactured in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston. Genuinely some of the best caramels ever.
