Nothing is currently planned here except removal of one of the center raised islands that keeps getting hit. DTM was asked about the feasibility of installing a roundabout and responded to that hypothetical in a report. T&G article mischaracterized the circumstances, unfortunately.
I can’t believe I ever cooked rice before having a rice cooker.
Ugh. There are lots of great indie musicians and sportswriters on Substack. Had no idea this was going on. Why is it so hard to have a decent online platform (this one is pretty good, but small and narrow demographic)?
Please tell me this isn’t real. Between this and thinking that the Swiss don’t speak German…I can’t handle this much stupid in a week.
Sorry that I couldn’t make this one!
Wow, I’m surprised. It was always quite busy when I was there. That’s a big loss.
Fare thee well, Bobby.
Shoot - I had my eye on that one because it’s my neighborhood!
Wow - 7 shots (maybe more?) and I’m still alive!
Serious Clark Griswald vibes
It was the same for me. It’s easy to forget how that feels.
Three.
Anxious to hear from our Brown U. And Providence friends. This is not normal. It is not okay. We are the only “advanced” country on the planet that accepts this as unavoidable, over and over again.
I loved Calibri long before I knew it made me woke.
This was a heck of an article…well researched, thorough and squarely lays blame where it belongs. I only wish it weren’t behind a paywall so it would get wider circulation.
Well it’s about time. Lol.
Shoot. I’m flying next week and was not planning to dress up.
I never post about local politics for obvious reasons. But only one woman elected to City Council? Regardless of how you feel about any of the individual candidates, that is not a good outcome.
It’s been great. Even though as a Giants and Mariners fan I should have no business enjoying this game.
Gazpacho is so good.
Yes - it’s in the works.
That was a great ending tonight.
Southbridge St, right? It’s a new crosswalk location. Lane and crosswalk markings haven’t been completed yet.
Asphalt murals to daylight crosswalks as well as painted crosswalks. This is a partnership between the City, WCG, the Mass TDI program, neighborhood businesses and other orgs and is funded by a grant from AARP.
Yes! Go Mariners!!!
Amazing how a pastime turns into the most amazing sport in October.
Lol - I required 3 posts. Anyway - I appreciate your perspective and agree that this does detract from having comfortable waiting space. Thanks for pointing that out.
The tricky thing from a train ops standpoint is what do you do when everyone is waiting on the station platform and (for whatever reason) the train has to use the other track? Which happens more than occasionally. Now everyone is scrambling to go down around and up. (2/3)
Fair point on having access to waiting indoors, and I agree this is a downgrade in that regard. But even at South Station you’re at the end of the track (not next to it) and then have to make your way down the platform. (1/2)
I’m not understanding what the issue is. It’s actually more convenient for all trains to board from the same (center) platform. What am I missing? It’s a little sad that it makes the second floor of Union Station irrelevant, but functionally this is better.
