Super helpful thanks. Any one you recommend there?

Can ask the guys at Charlie's barbershop near porter square. They finish the haircut with a straight razor shave on your hair at the back of your neck

Very helpful! Thank you

I've been to the free skates at Veterans memorial on Somerville Ave in Somerville. This summer they had free skate on Monday and Wednesday from 2-4pm. It was pretty crowded with beginner level figure skaters practicing their routines. The website is always up to date with when open skates are.

Thank you!! I’ll check these out

These ones have free skate blocks during the day

The bruins practice arena Warrior Ice Arena at Brighton's Boston Landing allegedly has a few. Their site is so weird though, good luck finding the times.

There's a skating rink in the Lechmere Canal park, one in Gov't center, and one at Frog Pond in the Common.

Laconte in Medford, but I’m not sure what the hours are

hey if you're looking to recruit then try it. You have officially been dared, cowards. Or just run?

It is definitely interesting that the elevation of Alewife Brook is less than 10 feet above sea level.

Yes, Fresh Pond is upstream of the Alewife Brook. And during big flood events, the direction of the brook reverses, sending it’s contaminated water upstream. The storm surge flood maps of future years are frightening.

Good morning and Merry Christmas. We don’t think the water is safe. There was not a sewage pollution discharge into the Alewife Brook yesterday. But if the rain had come down harder and faster, then there would have been raw sewage in the brook. We do know that there are PCBs and PAHs and heavy metals in the sediment, but no one has done any kind of health study on the folks who live next to the brook who get flood water in their homes. I personally had the Alewife Brook in my house when there was flooding and I got really sick from it. Anyway, while we’re happy to save the determined jogger from getting his shoes wet (and i still can’t believe he wanted to run through it for that reason alone),… we also want to share the message that the brook is not safe, especially when it floods. I’m sorry if I failed to get the message across here, lolz.

What does that have to do with a jogger walking through it?

That Dunkin’s was definitely not holding the whole neighborhood up…

Take photos of the location and all signs. Take to hearing.

Plus cab fare to cross railroad tracks.

Fresh pond is upstream.

Congrats on getting out.

Hah thanks, I wasn't gonna say anything but not quite what I was looking for.

We’d like to see the brook dredged, to remove the toxic chemicals, to increase flood storage capacity, and to improve water quality. And the reason for this is the the Alewife Brook floods into residents’ homes. I think being dramatic about PCBs is fair in this case. It’s a public waterbody. It belongs to the people. It should be safer than it is.

Not remotely the same vibe
