1 month here and I have painfully learned how absolutely tragic the Green-B is. 25 minutes passed with no train, isn't it supposed to be every 7-8 min? 😭

B Line is not good but also not terrible. Its been consistent when Ive used it to commute or to go to sox games from my apartment.

I used to live in lower Allston and would take the 66 past the b line and to the c line.. usually saved me some time

Oh dear

Just start walking after 8mins of waiting. Our train system is rough.

Yeah I think they reduced the times after COVID to a weekend schedule, on weekdays 😒

Walk or take Uber

I think it'd take me a long time to walk from BC to govt center :)

Back before they had trackers, I’d sometimes wait 45 minutes for the B line 😂

The MBTA is hot garbage and anyone who says otherwise hasn't used it. The buses are even worse. I used to take a bus to Harvard Square to take the red line into Boston for work on Fridays and I had to stop since the bus was constantly 25+ minutes late and the app tracking it was useless. Probably one of the few scenarios where union busting and a complete purge of the system is justified.

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party? We sent wedding invites with a 5pm start time because we have 6hrs at the venue and the bar around the corner said the after party had to be 11pm-1am. Now bar said thee after party can start at 10pm. We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).

Looking for recommendations: off-road/4x4 paths near the perimeter.

So my current situation: living ITP but recently bought a 4x4 Taco and want to make sure I maintain the system by running it on some dirt. Total beginner to off-road, not looking for anything technical (don’t have recovery equipment yet), so mainly just looking for an unpaved area I can run the 4x4 for a bit. I understand i’ll probably have to venture a bit OTP but any recommendations are welcomed! TIA

Does anybody else get extremely, unhealthily anxious that they're not getting out there enough, that they're missing great snow, that they're stuck inside working, that there's only a few months of the season and that it's all-or-nothing?
The thought of having to find the best run, the fewest crowds, the best pow days, etc. all make me physically uncomfortable.
Even just watching the videos of snow fall on
Tahoe is making my heart race spike.
