People are free to ask for help, I’m always happy to. My elderly neighbor asks me to help shovel etc and I always do 🤷‍♂️

Tell me you don't like to drink in public without telling me you don't like to drink in public.

I appreciate that your interaction with that woman turned sour, but you really gonna stop that one incident stop you from offering a helping hand unless asked?

Like how many times have you held the door open for folks and got a thanks of a smile of gratitude? I think the woman who yelled at you might be the outlier in these sorts of situations. Just sayin, the onus wasn’t on your trying to help

Yeah I don’t think that holds water in such an international city like Boston is now. In this case the woman was an immigrant and had a very thick accent when she said thank you. So some folks just can’t.

But I totally agree. In a pinch. New englanders on the whole are there for each other when needed

To each their own, just cus someone made life choices you don’t agree with doesn’t make them deserving of derision

Not bragging, making an appeal to common decency

Thanks Fam!

People talk about Central being "dangerous" or whatever but it's all bark and no bite. There are certainly unhoused and unemployed people hanging out and making noise/minor disturbances, but violent crime is fairly rare. On the rare case that it does happen, it's generally between people who know each other and doesn't involve random strangers/tourists.

Keep your wits about you, know where you're going, and mind your business and you should be fine.

I feel like , besides interview, this is something you can just look up company policy on.( like look up WFH policy). Is that correct? Or would you need to ask?

This right here is where we are. Trying to help is just slightly less offensive than not helping and knowing the difference is a minefield

A double wide stroller should be parked outside like a bike, not brought into a crowded cafe. It's basic city etiquette.

+1, just saw Matilda there last month, it was cute! Next round of shows in April but don’t know the play

Mayor Wu, City Council, and BTD enable this with their inaction

I’d also consider the Hanover Theatre in Worcester - also does Broadway tours. I just went there for Mean Girls in the fall because the tour hit Worcester and Providence but not Boston

There are relatively strict restrictions on Airbnbs in Boston and Cambridge so please check the regulations and whether or not the unit is compliant. Otherwise, you are at increased risk of having your booking cancelled last minute.

Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick puts on amazing shows. We go every year because these kids are so talented and the shows are almost professional. No other high school shows we’ve seen have been remotely close. Their spring show this year is Mean Girls.

Brockton high school drama club puts on there spring performance May 12th-14th. This year's show is "Mama Mia!". Last year, I took my kids to see their production of "Hello Dolly!" And it was fantastic, they were singing the songs for weeks.

Double wide strollers belong in the suburbs. Don't encourage people with double wide strollers.

This seems like a troll comment, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and a serious reply. There is a lot of middle ground between the status quo and a full car ban. In other words, actually pursue Vision Zero, as has been successfully done elsewhere in the world.

It's high time that we legalized automated enforcement.

Middle aged woman struggles to push mini SUV through coffee shop on a Monday. Not exactly the person I imagine when I think of helping people in need. Personally I can just imagine turning this into one of those situations where I try to help and end up knocking something else over or tripping over the very chair you were trying to move.

Also sorry not sorry but the world is over crowded and people who try to wield more than one child per body are just asking for problems.

Reagle Music Theater in Waltham could be a good cheaper option that put on good shows. They are doing Oklahoma and the Little Mermaid this summer. They also have a youth theater group. I think the tickets usually range from $38 - $68 for adults with discounts for seniors and kids.

The red line is fine during office hours. Late at night you might not feel as safe perhaps but the stations you describe should be fine. Make sure to have your Uber app set up, just in case. Red line reliability isn’t great but that’s usually only in the weekends.

Cambridge and Boston is relatively safe for biking (for a US city). Look into the blue bike rental bikes.

The city and state are flush with cash. They could easily do all this and save a ton of lives. But they don't because entitled drivers will complain because they think their time is more important than other people's lives.
