Yeah this is the crazy thing for me. I drove my wife's car with CT plates for 3-2 years because we were not sure if we would stay each year I had it. Kept feeling like a hassle for something that may only end up being necessary for ~6-8 months.

Eventually we bought a new car and had that registered in MA.

But when I lived in Quincy, there was a VT car that had lived across the street for at least the 4 years I was there.

>having liability insurance"

Could this be a rule since NH doesn't require Insurance?

I remember those commercials in Michigan back in the 80s.

I also remember when they bought out dawn donuts in the early 90s, which was their major competition in the Midwest.

Food people worship this dude from his time at ATK and now Milk Street and I just don't get it. Dude comes across as a complete dick bag with the personality of a wet bag of expired oatmeal.

Yeah, no. Just set a separate price for meters shift to an app that you enter your plate. Why should I register for a year if I only work there 35 days?

saw the article on Facebook and let out a loud cheer, all alone in my apartment, for ya!

The new housing is mentioned. Did you read the story?

I'm glad the city is seeking our local people of colors for developers, but it does make me concerned to hear that as a solution for the community not feeling heard in previous development attempts. has a lot of potential to just be PR cover for gentrifying and shoving the existing community out

I am so happy for you my man. Fuck the rmv

Originally each Dunkin made there own Donuts, right on site. As the company grew they changed to a commissary type system, where the donuts are made at regional locations and shipped to the stores. I don’t know if its still there, but on Dot ave in Southie there is a building where they make the donuts.

Cvs - do you want to opt in for advertising spam? Yes, click this screen. No? Well you’re already opted in but if you want to opt out call our call center in India, wait on hold for 15 minutes, and struggle to communicate opting out to someone who barely speaks English.

I don’t know why this hasn’t been implemented years ago. Congress used to make laws forbidding spam calls at certain times and different sound levels during commercials

Ha. I realize that in the past they were the poster child of shitty cancellation policies (and super shitty behavior at the start of covid) , but for what its worth I just canceled my membership and it was as straightforward as could be. Didn't even have to provide 30 days notice or whatever BS is standard with gyms to keep you on the hook for one additional month.

Yup! Saw the ads in the Midwest

I second this. I ended up staying with Fi afterwards. Works great for me.

That's so dumb. A car should only have to be registered in a single state. Tie it to someone's official residence, or maybe whichever state the car is operated in the most.

So literally everyone who works in MA from out of state has to dual-register in order to go to their job. This is asinine.

"having liability insurance" is a far cry from "you have to register your car here" though. If that were the case, why isn't everyone who lives in NH and drives to Massachusetts for work required to get Mass plates?

Fill out a form, pay a fee. The requirement to go through an insurance company, when the insurance company will deny you a policy because you don’t live in Massachusetts, is what makes this so Kafkaesque; compliance is effectively impossible.

Reach out to them:

HA: How can residents submit ideas, thoughts, etc., on city nightlife to you?

CR: "Hopefully in the next few months there will be a centralized location on our website for you to, you know, give me what you want. You can always email me at corean.reynolds@boston.gov. I've gotten a lot of inquiries and feedback on Instagram, which is probably not the best way to contact me, but you can always email me."

I was once flagged down by a police officer in Central Square for having an expired inspection sticker. After staring blankly at him for a minute I managed to convince him that September came after May, so it was still valid for a few months... He didn't quite apologize, but I took a little joy in the awkward expression on his face.

Like a fucking parking meter?

Totally agree. State control of the ability to open businesses in Boston is a major barrier to opening a restaurant outside of the neighborhoods already really built up

Why I rolled my eyes about the Nightlife Czar. Unless Boston gets control over its liquor licenses from the state, you can't change much.
