Reply to Trillium brewing by popnfrresh

We’ve taken our kids to Trillium for lunch a few times. They did have a kids menu when we went and there were other families too. There is a level with mostly tables at the Boston location and that’s where all the families were. It was kid appropriate and we all had fun. They had a kids coloring page and crayons. This sub leans very negative. It’s not weird unless you are bringing your kids at night and sitting them at the bar and/or letting them destroy the place.

Agreed with your second paragraph, all the negative responses here about kids at brew pubs are pretty puzzling. Maybe I’m just getting lucky and not running into the feral children everyone seems to be so afraid of?

I feel that a lot of organizations -- primarily governmental and medicinal -- are taking advantage of our Covid hangover. Doctors are slow to get back to face-to-face appts., government workers don't answer phones, appts. are often scheduled months out when they really don't have to be. Minor civic interactions such as appealing a traffic ticket seem more complicated and confusing.

Many of these things were bad before, but now forget about it.

So aside from the big conversation of “kids in bars”, my suggestion would be to try the Boston Public Market, inside are some food vendors, a bar, and a decent selection of New England beer to purchase.

It’s a mile or so from Trillium.

Not a huge fan of breweries myself, but I disagree with this. Breweries and beer gardens are perfectly fine places to foster “community”and connect with each other. And I think that’s something we need more of these days. Bars/pubs past a certain hour, maybe 8:00, that’s a different story. Otherwise, not really much different than a coffee shop. As with most things, I guess it’s a judgement call but if you’re gonna get uptight about parents bringing kids to a bar/restaurant/brewery just stay home.

Reply to Whitman man faces attempted murder charge after allegedly kicking rider into T pit by rabblebowser

A 23-year-old Whitman man was arrested for attempted murder Wednesday after allegedly kicking someone into the pit at a T station downtown, MBTA Transit Police said.

Kedrian Perry-Marshall “violently kicked an unsuspecting individual” at State Street station around 2 p.m. Tuesday, TPD alleged in a tweet.

The alleged assault was unprovoked, Transit Police Supt. Richard Sullivan told Boston.com in an email. Sullivan said there were no trains entering the station at the time of the incident, and the unidentified victim “got out of the pit under his own power.”

He declined medical attention and was not injured, according to TPD.

The 16-year-old victim’s father, Melvin Gonzalez, told WCVB that his son lives in the South End and takes the train to East Boston every day.

“Thank God he didn’t hit the third rail or something,” Gonzalez told the news outlet.

Transit police detectives arrested Perry-Marshall the next day following an “intense investigation,” the department wrote on Twitter. Boston.com left a voicemail with his attorney seeking comment.

Whitman Chief of Police Timothy Hanlon told Boston.com in an email that his department has been working with MBTA Transit Police since Wednesday morning, and that the two departments were also able to identify Perry-Marshall as the suspect in a Tuesday night apartment complex stabbing in Whitman.

The Whitman Police Department had previously shared images of the suspect, shown in a light green fleece jacket that appears to match the one Perry-Marshall wore in photos from TPD.

Hanlon later announced in a press release that Whitman police obtained an arrest warrant for Perry-Marshall, who will also be charged with attempted murder in the Whitman stabbing.

Perry-Marshall was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court Thursday afternoon and will be arraigned in Brockton District Court on the Whitman charge at a later date, according to the press release.

I think it doesn’t have much going for it, and if I recall didn’t the state take over the schools? Sounds familiar but didn’t find it on Google.
