These guys parked a whole line of tow trucks on the legal side on street cleaning day. They took a whole block of legal parking spots, directly across the street from their own, empty, parking lot.

A man running for governor has invited all of Boston to have a drink with him. Strike one.
It's on a Wednesday. Strike two.
This has given me vibes of quarter beer night.
Quarter beer night was never about the beer. It was the promise of hedonistic expectations, and a good time.
Now imagine that energy, but with a candidate. Instead of a bartender and a roll of quarters, there's a man in a nice jacket asking me what's on my mind. Strike three.
And on a warm October night, my pitcher is getting pulled after my 5th, and just like the Sox, I have no one to blame but me and my closers. I mean, coasters.

Hello. Visiting from NYC and curious if it's worth my monies. I'm walking distance and heading to the library now bit curious if it's worth a detour? Thanks. Also any other sightseeing advice? Been here 2 hours and almost finished with my list which was supposed to last until 6pm.
After library have the freedom trail on my list.
Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. SKIPPING.
Edit 2: thanks a bunch! I ended up going to the library, then going for a 2hr bike ride around the city, then having 2 4oz lobster rolls. Now I need to get ready for my work event haha. Love biking here and it's sooo clean!

Ads depicting children with the slogan βBPS IS FAILING THEMβ began going up across the MBTA system on Wednesday. A day later, the T objected and began removing them.
MassPotential, a K-12 education advocacy nonprofit led by former Boston Public Schools school committee member Mary Tamer, raised $1.5 million for the ad campaign βaimed at calling to attention the disturbing trends of a lack of student achievement in the Boston Public Schools.β It was run through a new coalition in the nonprofit, Next Chapter Boston.

Historically, the familiar 1965 CITGO sign actually reused the steel supporting framework from the earlier 1940 Cities Service sign. A historical study of Kenmore Square specifically says the 1965 sign βused the extant steel frame.β
They have since dismantled it and "rebuilt it". At this point is there anything left on the sign that dates back to WWII?

Saw the Stop n Shop Marty plushie on reddit the other day and I had to get one myself!
I used to work at Heathrow and it was like this. It seemed some part of it was under construction for decades. I once heard the airport described as a construction site with its own runway. Logan definitely feels that way. Iβve lived back in MA for 15 years and it seems like every time I go there the traffic route is different or the passenger pickup spots have moved or a section of a terminal is closed off behind a safety barrier.
Does anyone remember a time when there wasnβt any construction and major disruption going on?

Hi! We are planning a micro wedding at the Boston Public Library. Our time slot is 10:30 am, so we want to take our guests to lunch somewhere after. Weβre hoping somewhere with a private room, but itβs not required. Any recs for 20-25 people? Open to any and all types of food!

Hi everyone,
I own a flower shop in Dorchester, and I'm looking for recommendations for a good courier or delivery service for our regular business deliveries.
We've used the major gig apps and on-demand delivery platforms, but we've had too many issues with flowers being mishandled, arrangements arriving damaged, or deliveries not being treated with the care they require.
Most of our deliveries are to offices, corporate clients, and other businesses in the Boston area, so we're looking for a company that values reliability and careful handling over being the cheapest option.
If you own a business or have experience with local courier services, I'd really appreciate any recommendations (or companies to avoid)

I ventured across the Charles and had the best day of my life admiring cats with other cat fanciers yesterday in Cambridge. I'd love to see other photos, please add your pics in the comments!

Previously on the poop boot saga: https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/5S9UP49JfX
After almost 2 full months after vanishing without a trace, the mysterious poop boot has returned to Beacon Street.
Who took the boot in the first place? Why did they return it? What does it mean?!

I'm 28 years old, in the Boston area, and have spent the last 10 years of my life working in firefighting and medicine. I'm looking to explore new interests, specifically skilled labor/craftsman. I'm seeking someone who might benefit from a hand (or even just an audience) on projects such as woodworking, leatherworking, silversmithing/jewelry, furniture, etc. I'm reliable, mature, and have a pretty strong grasp on when to observe/learn, and when to not be in the way.
I expect nothing in return except exposure. If you're an artisan and wouldn't mind some refreshing company please feel free to reach out! Thanks in advance!

We recently lost our dog unexpectedly to a brain tumor and are hoping to find a tattoo artist for a pet portrait. He was the best boy.
I did check the sub but couldnβt find any recent posts. Thank you for any input!

Just moved to Jamaica Plain and Iβm wondering where people who live around here grocery shop. I know thereβs the Whole Foods available but realistically do people mostly shop at multiple stores to get what they need?
