Moving to Watertown in two weeks from Atlanta, GA. I know the weather won't be the same nor will the cost of living, what are some of the benefits of Boston?

Whoever reported my comment for racial slurs, NIMBY stands for "not in my backyard". I've lived in Boston suburbs where the neighborhood started a green campaign just to stop the city from building low income housing and driving down their property values. Boston is far from diverse.

Ideal summer temperatures, and the food! It's also it's pretty close to several large cities on the east coast.

Walkable. Bearable humidity in the summer.

Boston is walkable, but not so much from Watertown.

On Sunday, a good chunk of Mem Drive (which is the Watertown side) is closed which means you can bike and run it with a great amount of safety. Caveat, On Sunday it is harder to get to Somerville by car from Watertown.
4th of July Fireworks are awesome - picnic starts at 7:30 AM.
Boston is close by. Usually there are more free concerts, but the hatch shell has been quiet since Covid.
Community Boating is awesome if you ever wanted to learn to sail.

Hey all, any recommendations for soothing, rich moisturizers (or other products) that address redness and irritation? I use retinol a few times a week and find that sometimes it causes redness and flaking. I try all the things: spacing it out more, sandwiching it between layers of moisturizer, etc. Currently I use Tower 28’s SOS serum and kiehl's ultra facial cream. Both are nice but wondering if there is some super product that can really soothe my face.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
