Did a google and found this: https://www.stickshiftdrivingacademy.com/stick-shift-driving-lesson-near-me
​
My 16-year-old nephew is learning to drive near Philly and his lessons include four hours on manual. This definitely exists.

These don’t really exist anymore.
You’d have to:
- Know someone with a manual willing to let you drive it
- Lease or buy one
- SUPER DICK MOVE rent one on Turo and have someone that knows how to drive one teach you.
I know a couple people that did option 3 in the last few years and it’s super fucked up. I just ended up buying one and re-learned on my own car.

Maybe one of these. That open road on the kangamangus highway in new hampshire sounds pretty awesome

Does this even exist?
Almost anyone I know who can drive manual had their parent teach them when they were first learning to drive.
I personally learned myself in college at a summer job on a small utility vehicle we had to use.

Came here to say this. I was there a couple months ago but I didn't notice if it's still there or not.

I don’t really have any advice but I’m tickled that Raffi is still performing! I grew up with his music and I’m in my 30s!

Yeah that’s a safe area, but I wouldn’t walk IN the common after dark. Around it on the sidewalks is fine.

This is raffi not a pub crawl.
If you don’t like driving in general that’s a pretty biased opinion. I drove in a few weeks ago for a show.
It was busy but it was fine. Garage parking was $22.
I wouldn’t want to be dragging a 3 year old onto the T past bedtime if they’re not accustomed to riding public transit.

parking is too expensive, street parking is difficult to find at times. I don't like driving in general and I don't mind taking the red line (I don't have a daily commute anymore).
and if I'm going to have any beer I'm not going to drive.

Peter Welch’s or Graelish for boxing. For MMA imo you’re better off learning wrestling and one of the other component arts (jiu jitsu, kickboxing, etc) individually, as opposed to jumping into full MMA right away.

TIL Raffi is still alive and kicking.

Right? 2pm and 7pm - know your audience! A toddler is not going to survive either of those times in a crowd, in an unfamiliar place, with loud music, without getting disregulated. And…they won’t remember the concert. I think this is more for the parents.

If this is for passport/ID photos, CVS stores with photo printing will take ID photos and print them for you.

So? What’s your point? The whole world should revolve around your transit needs? Other people exist
