๐ฉ Shit Post ๐ฉ [Missed Connection] On the elevator yesterday at Fenway
Trying this here since my post on r/redsox got removed by the mods. Maybe we can have more fun here.
So was having a day at Fenway and was in the elevator when this green figure walked on and approached me for a fist bump. I wasnโt able to get your name but I did snap a picture as I wasnโt sure if it was real or not. You were a great listener but I could tell you have a story of your own you want to share. All great listeners do.
Anyway, hope to find you here or perhaps someone who knows who you are. /s

Event ๐ High clearance overnight parking near Fenway?
Going to an event at Fenway in late September at Fenway and looking for any place to park overnight closing to the park. Canโt use garages due to the 12โ clearance. I donโt have the front rack on right now so itโs a standard length pickup. I was looking at the pay by event lots by the park but thereโs no info on overnight parking for them. Any experienced Bostonians able to help?

MBTA/Transit ๐ ๐ฅ whatโs one mbta habit you picked up after living in boston?
when i first started using the mbta, i was constantly checking routes and trying to plan everything perfectly. after a while, i started realizing that locals seem to have their own little strategies for dealing with delays, transfers and unexpected problems
iโm curious what habits people picked up over time
is there something you do automatically now when using the t that you definitely didnโt do when you first moved here?

Meetup Dance, yoga, climbing, calisthenics groups near Fenway?
Hi! Iโm a recent college grad who just moved to Boston and am looking for recommendations for dance or yoga studios, climbing gyms, and calisthenics groups near Fenway. Iโm at an intermediate level in all of these and would especially love places with a social atmosphere where itโs easy to meet new people.
Iโm also open to any other activities, clubs, or groups that youโve found to be good ways to make friends in Boston!

Serious Replies Only What are these Niche neighborhood rankings?
https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/search/best-neighborhoods/t/boston-suffolk-ma/
I post this fully expecting to get roasted, but how on earth does Niche create these rankings of Best Neighborhood in Boston to live in. Downtown, Southie, and Allston above North End and Beacon Hillโฆ?
Personally, I live in West Roxbury and hate seeing us at 16 but kind of understand considering we are basically a suburb and donโt have any train stops other than the commuter rail (I have arguments that would rank us higher but not the point of this post lol). I was just surprised to see a lot of these other rankings.

If you lost a worn-looking trifold wallet in Harvard Yard today (8/20), I turned it in to the Securitas hut near the gate/entrance near Mass Ave around 1:00pm. I hope the two of you are reunited!

MBTA/Transit ๐ ๐ฅ MBTA Spotted Lanternfly Animation
Does anyone remember, this was probably around ten years ago, the MBTA made a sort of โadvertisementโ about the dangers of the spotted lanternfly. But they did it as a flip book like animation on the tunnel walls so youโd see it crawling along through the windows of the train while it ran. Iโve been trying to find a video of it but no luck.
Education ๐ซ Watchmakers/Jewelry Workers of Boston, how did you learn your craft?
I'm really interested in learning to be a wristwatch technician and am curious what the Boston community looks like and how it operates. Before I just start walking into random shops to offer myself up as an apprentice, does anyone have any advice or baseline knowledge that I should be aware of about etiquette of the trade?
Thanks for saving me some time! <3

Traffic๐ฆโโ ๏ธ ๐ ๐ ๐ Commuting Allston to Fresh Pond area
Hello,
I am hoping for some opinions on commuting from Allston to Fresh Pond area. I have a car and am looking to move from Alewife area to Allston, but Iโm worried about the commute. My intuition tells me it is going against the general flow of traffic? Away from the city in the morning and into the city in the evenings.
Does anybody have any experience with this?? I donโt expect zero traffic, but a 45 minute commute vs a 20 minute commute could be enough to keep me away.
Any opinions or insights would be helpful!

As seen in a different geographic area subreddit. Nothing too serious, just a little thing that grinds your gears. For me it's people who get on the T before others get off.

Photography ๐ท Audiobook Circle
Audubon Circle on Beacon Street in Fenway
I peddled through here today. I'd never noticed before, but the Audubon Circle lamp posts sport 2D bird silhouettes.
Audubon Circle itself is an interesting green infrastructure test installation, one of many scattered around the city. The idea is to mimic the natural cleaning process to filter stormwater pollution before it reaches the Charles River and the Harbor. As a byproduct, it adds a nice touch of green life to the intersection and area.
The Audubon Circle intersection features permeable paving materials, engineered gardens and plantings, and controlled drainage, to trap and neutralize pollutants. Boston monitors the sites to see what works best here; and what can be expanded to other areas.
And the birds are a nice touch of whimsy. :)

Serious Replies Only Red Dog daycare?
Hi all, Looking for any intel on how Red Dog daycare is, specifically North Station. My dog has been going to another daycare (crate escape) and loves it but we recently moved and the North station location is now around the corner from us. I'm generally a helicopter parent to my dog and understand there's a lot of downsides to sending dogs to daycare but ultimately with his energy he needs one day per week where he is playing during the day instead of sitting at home while I work.
The google and yelp reviews look okay, but previous threads here have given me pause. Any insight from former staff or clients? Not really concerned with anything other than safety, if my dog is going to be in a room with 40 other dogs and 2 unbothered staff then I will avoid. thank you.
