So weird, I’ve had the opposite. I’ve reported a couple of playground equipment issues and they got solved quickly. I also reported a stop light timing issue, and while it took a while to get a response, the response was lengthy and informative.

I still subscribe to my neighborhood after moving away, and I love watching neighbors tattling on each other! It's so fun! People are so passive aggressive - they'd much rather complain anonymously on this app about someone mistakenly putting their garbage out early than knock on their door. I mean, I'm guilty of petty shit too - but man, it's a hoot watching people hate on their neighbors.

That app is useless. I submitted requests on November 9 and 29 for two different issues. They just shuffle the responsibility to different areas, then say it was "resolved" 2 months later when nothing was actually done. If you try to click on the survey to submit a response it doesn't work.

It's why I go there! The beer punch is also in the sweet spot of the price-alcohol content-taste matrix, at least when you're with other people. I mean, ALSO, brunch is cheap and doesn't require standing in line. It might be my favorite restaurant.

Lyndell's in Ball Sq for breakfast, you can easily snag a large hot coffee, and a couple pastries for under $10. They're not gonna win a james beard award, but the quality floor is really high, and the counter staff are so nice

Or if you want a sit-down, Kelly's Diner is also pretty good but most meals are now just about at the $10 mark (unlimited diner coffee refills though!)

With so many businesses moving a lot of their employees remote, they probably didn't have the customers they needed to keep it going. Very very sad.

Also, they had that weird statue of two elephants getting down and dirty.

It's called The Hive and It was easy to get safety certified on their zoom class but I've been waiting for a long time tryin to get a space to get certified on a specific device.

It's free and convenient which makes it a bit over-subscribed. I'd get the process started with the safety training and then try to get certified on the tools when you can

holy crap thanks so much for letting me know! i don't live in boston anymore, but i'll be sure to check it out for my regular two dishes i loved there.. i only went to the fenway location once, my favorite one was on comm ave in brookline because it had outdoor eating, but beggars can't be choosers.

there was another place on harvard St in bline, i forget its name, but it was also very, very good.
