lmao a Gillig MBTA bus. never thought i’d see that day 😂

It looks like a low poly LOD texture in a video game.

st patrick's day, ha!

Yep, the redline shuttle bus was moved cuz they were filing between the government building and fanueil hall around 11

Was that filming downtown last night, and why the roads were closed heading towards government center?

Yes, Pill is open, but there used to be a large Ace Hardware closer to the MIT side of Central Square and that is gone.

Also target has gardening things today. One bag of potting soil left.

I've been thinking about moving and now I truly appreciate the community program my city has. One more thing to consider when renting

Well I was in pill this morning getting caulking and they definitely had all that stuff

Wow! Didn't know this

Some transit agencies use a 5 digit numbering scheme despite not having over 10000 buses. Under the most common 5 digit scheme, the first two digits represent the year the bus was purchased, the third digit represents the size of the bus (3 for 30-35ft, 4 for 40-45ft, 6 for 60ft), and the last two digits represent the fleet number within that series. For example, 20317 would correspond to the seventeeth 35ft bus purchased in 2020. In this picture, the bus is a 35 foot Gillig Low Floor bus. The numbering makes sense, but the MBTA has never owned a Gillig bus (their primary vendor is New Flyer) and has not had 35 foot buses since 2007. The MBTA also uses a 4 digit numbering scheme that does not incorporate purchase date or bus size.

All the bats will let you pee! If you have to poop, do so but drink at another bar. They will never know it's you unless you get drinks after destroying the toilet

I love the number on the bus. Nice touch for a city like this. 🍀

When does the movie take place, looks like an older 80s/90s bus

True true. Tbh I find a lot of that hard to notice from the outside, but pretty obvious on the inside.

When I walked by this yesterday I also realized the lack of bike rack is a dead giveaway.

I just realized I would be in the same position as you, had I not taken a full remote role.

Wow. :|

It’s okay, I hit on Search for Life round 1 so everyone conceded

Agreeing with the hotels as the best bet. Not sure where you will be, but the any of the urban malls or food halls in Cambridge, Boston/Back Bay would be good alternatives too. Lastly, the bigger dept stores (think Macy's, Lord& Taylor, etc). If you are desperate, just buy a drink to use the restroom at a fast casual/ take out restaurant.

Word from an insider is that when they took it down they were singing “it’s the end of the world as we know it”

I have lived here for years and this is the first I’ve heard of Fisher. I have heard of Emmanuel and know people who have grad degrees from Lesley.

Don’t go to any school just to move to the area, especially an expensive area. That is a waste of time and money. Look into community colleges or state schools in NC and then transfer.

Let me start with: your experience in school is what you make of it and put into it. If you are going there because there is a program you want to attend and it's financially viable, it's worth a shot.

I used to be a recruiter, and we went to Fisher college for a small recruiting event. These were for entry level operational jobs. I didn't care that their space for the career fair was smaller than a lunch room with some tables, but this place had the least prepared students I've ever encountered at a school career fair. People looked like they literally rolled out of bed and stopped by on the way to the bathroom. I had folks with curlers in their hair picking up materials and none had any questions or bothered much to engage. Wow... It was the one school we took of our list and never visited again.

This was many years ago, and hard to say if this was the school inadequately preparing the students and how to present to prospective companies, or if the students just didn't care. My guess it was probably both. Emmanuel and Lesley in my opinion are much better, in that order.

I suppose I meant to say they didn't have any wear and tear, like scratched and scuffed windows, discoloration, salt aging.

Mos Eisley must be on the other side. 😉

Google Maps and the Ace Hardware site both say that Pill Hardware is open.

Have a degree from a NC school and honestly the larger name schools there carry more weight in the job market here than the tiny Boston schools. I’ve lived here a long time and have only vaguely heard of Fisher. But if it’s about location for college, look at UMASS Boston, Suffolk or go to Bunker Hill CC and transfer.
