Liberal white women are the worst. First they cone up with LatinX when nobody asked. Then they got that news lady fired for saying “Fo Shizzle My Nizzle.” Not one black person was offended.

Does this program ALLOW everybody or just those listed races? Targeted advertising and allowing enrollment are two different things.
If the program does not allow whites, the group will win. Racial discrimination is illegal, period. If the program only advertises to those listed races but still allows whites, the program will be fine.

Inman Square, which is also a short walk to Union Square, which now has the green line, and a few drinking spots of its own, including a couple of breweries nearby.

Depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I'm a fan of the one behind alewife and the cambridgeport one (Tudor). Both dog walkers I've had have preferred going to zero new Washington. Realistically, any park that is appropriately sized and near your house is going to be good as long as there aren't problem dogs there, but that will depend on when exactly you go, so you'll probably just have to scope them out

Never had a problem there, and the pit has always been shoulder to shoulder up to front of house... It's a great venue, just wish there was less table space.

So shallow! And yah every year for a few months around this time in my experience. Super gross looking but I guess I'll endure to save the ducks.

That's insane. I live not that far from there and it's $2,500 for 3 bd. It's a decent place too, in unit laundry, new appliances, porch. This seems way way overpriced. The market is crazy but not this crazy imo.

Whether you think this is good or bad do people seriously not have more important issues to deal with?

Reply to comment by robthad in Transit experts say new MBTA general manager will 'fail' without more resources by ToadScoper
Beverly Scott - and the T ran fairly okay under her leadership until the 2015 Snowpocalypse. MBTA didn't have the equipment to de-ice the tracks and shit couldn't move.
Falling on the sword was, in retrospect, the wrong move. But the public was angry and Baker needed a head. I remember her press conference, she did not want to resign. But it seems like it was either that or get fired. Scott was appointed under Patrick and resigned under Baker, therefore Baker looked like he was cleaning house and it boosted his support.
If Eng is scapegoated, it's a poor reflection of Maura Healy's judgement. She appointed him. It also would reflect poorly on the State senate - since they often hid behind the excuse of Republican leadership as to why the T doesn't work.
So it's in everyone's best interest for this to succeed.
Personally, I think the MBTA's failings lie in a failure to manage the budget they already have. Other public transit systems do more for less. I'm keen to give this dude a chance.

Unsurprisingly, they still refuse to acknowledge that in 1997 Tommy O'Conner stole my pencil in math class and then when I took it back he told the teacher I was the one who stole it. Those fucking cowards have been silent on the matter for 26 years.

I've been there like 5 or 6 times now and your experience sounds stricter than what I'm used to.
Personally, I like the security there. I was a sold-out concert recently and someone had a seizure. Security was super efficient in identifying & getting them to safety.
I feel like I have the optimal amount of fun there. Mosh pits are allowed, but if someone falls to the floor - they get flashlit so the other moshers can help 'em out.
And I should say that the floor area was shoulder-to-shoulder packed at my last show. So your experience could simply be part of the band's rider.
It's one of my favorite venues right now. The sound is always great and shows run like clockwork. The only thing I don't like is that I wish is that they had another bathroom on Stage Left. I mean, there is, but it's for the VIP folks.

Wow, is it REALLY that shallow? I'd've expected another foot or two of depth, at least ... maybe three, towards the center.
(I've never seen it drained that I remember - maybe when I was a toddler, before my family moved out of Boston ... but not since then, for certain.)
