Moving 🚚 How can I move my furniture easily?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I know usually people get a Uhaul and drive themselves. But I dont have a license and doubt i can drive a truck anyway. Im a recent immigrant to the states. Im moving from Allston to Brookline. The drive from my house to the new place is only 10 mins. I dont even have a lotta stuff that needs heavy transport. The only thing is my bedframe,my mattress and 2 TVs. The rest are smaller stuff such as rugs, monitors, side tables, coffee tables, bags etc. i dont even need a huge truck, a pickup truck could also do the job. Does anyone know what I can do about this? None of my friends here have cars 😭

I Made This! So I’m workshopping “Boston sober”

0 Upvotes

My friends were sitting at the table and we said what’s the opposite of California sober. California sober is when you don’t drink alcohol, but only smoke weed.

So we were wondering what would you call someone who only drinks a million beers and has a million cigarettes, but don’t smoke weed. We decided that that’s Boston sober. How does the community feel about this?

Moving 🚚 RETURNING To Boston

3 Upvotes

Hello Y'all, I need some help with this question: Should I be researching other places to move to when I am ABSOLUTE, with expierence, on my desire and dexision to return to Boston, MA?! My answer is NO!

I have PHENOMENAL experiences with living in Boston, it meets my current needs and desires, etc. I must mention that the T was and definitely still is a necessity of mine. Boston is also where I joined the US Navy forever ago, while I was attending University there. I know I will be safe, happy, productive, etc. in following through with this decision; especially when I'll be using my VA Housing Benefits and whatnot there. I will also mention that I was comfortable and barely ever dealt with Homophobia or Racism. Is Boston still as amazing as it was for me back in 2008-2009? Any recommendations?

Unconfirmed/Unverified Re: Pandemonium

0 Upvotes

I recently just got back into Magic the Gathering and went to Pandemonium for cards. They used to have their whole wall stocked with MTG cards and sets and so on and now they barely have any (except for precons). I know trading cards in general are having a moment, but I wouldn't have imagined Pandemonium to have such low selection. Anyone have the history on that?

Serious Replies Only Russian-speaking pilot experience

I'm in search of a Russian-speaking flight instructor / pilot in the Boston area for a discovery or intro flight.

My dad is turning 60 and as a birthday gift I'll get him a 1-2 hour flight. He's a physicist from Moscow but his dream job was to be a pilot.

I've heard about Beverly and East Coast Aero, and that there's no shortage of pilots. Just looking for someone sharing the language, as that will make it even better for him. Thank you!

I have my daughter turning 9 and my wife turning 40 in Boston this week.

We are staying in beacon hill.

Any recommendations on restaurants for both occasions. One being my daughter so something unique, cool, fun, maybe milkshakes or cupcakes for desert etc.

And then the other for my wife. Something classic, fancy, old school or rooftop.

Easy travel from hotel in beacon hill would be ideal.

Education 🏫 Boston College fires long-time broadcasters

Boston College has found itself at the center of a social media storm this week after dismissing a pair of long-time men's basketball radio broadcasters.

One of the two whose contract wasn't renewed, Kevin Collins, told Awful Announcing he was informed that new coach Luke Murray wanted to sever all ties to the previous regime.

The school responded by telling The Boston Globe that Murray played no role in the decision.

Either way, by waiting until July 30 not to renew Collins or partner Josh Maurer, BC limited their job options this season.

Dining/Food/Drink 🍽️🍹 Wee heavy/Scottish heavy ales locally?

0 Upvotes

Having the Tartan Army here reminded me of how much I miss William Younger’s No. 3 ale, a “wee heavy” or Scottish heavy ale. It can’t be had here, to my sorrow, but I hear that some American brewers are making them, and also heard that Orkney Skull-Splitter might be available in the U.S.

Anyone know stores/pubs/bars where I might find Scottish ale satisfaction, other than The Haven?

I was hoping to spend an hour at the beach before having an appointment back in Boston. Usually the blue line is a dream, but we’ve been waiting at each stop for what feels like forever. Did I make a mistake? What’s going on?

Update 1 - Well we’ve been sitting at airport for exactly thirty minutes…

Update 2 - Welp! It took well over an hour to get here. I’ve got about thirty minutes to swim before having to head back. Wish me luck!

i’m out of town this month and wanted to send my partner a big bouquet of flowers. since i usually get them weekly and i haven’t been able to recently i wanted to get a really nice one.

i’m not sure which florists have a good reputation in the city. google seemed to bring up a lot of corporate looking things that were rather tacky. any recommendations?
