Come to the MFA on Saturday with us!¡!

My package has been delivered ta wrong address. This is where it has been delivered to, I want to figure out its address so that I can pick my package from here or something.

Can anyone let me know if they know this place anyhow and what other methods should j try to figure out the place?

I am a disabled veteran with compressed cartilage in my spine. Even the ergonomic chairs someone from r/Boston generously gave me years ago (they were in storage in the downtown skyscraper she helped run, and headed for the bin!) don’t allow me to sit for longer than a few hours in comfort, nowadays. Then I get back into bed, as falling asleep is my only form of “pain management.” Anyway, I’m praying some of you know some very comfortable reading chairs in or near Greater Boston. I will happily become a member of a library if need be in order to access them!¡! I’m technically on medical leave from Stanford, but I doubt that matters. Just in case though, I am on medical leave from a university. Thanks so much❣️

Anyone else notice an usual but small amount of police walking around Centre St today? Nothing crazy, but there was a group of around 6 as well as another couple a few blocks down.

Today while fishing I reeled in a black bag. I saw a animal in it and though it was a unlucky wild animal that got trapped. The more I looked the weirder it got. The bag was tied off and the only way to see in was through a hole in the bottom of the bag. I saw a black furry animal and a large rock. I used a stick to tear the bag open more and shook the bag and I saw ears and whiskers. Someone put this cat in a bag put a large rock in it and threw it into the lake. I looked at missing cats in the area but I really don’t know what to do. I called the cops but they really didn’t seem to interested. There’s a creep out there that’s all I know.

If anyone is looking for something to do Thursday November 21, I am producing a stand up comedy showcase with comedians from across the country.

This is a great way to come support artists while enjoying a night out. I am hoping to offer more entertainment options for people in JP and the surrounding areas

Come out and support the community!

Saw someone on Twitter saying that a new pizza place was coming in to replace Ideal, but I haven't heard anything about that anywhere else. Anyone know anything more?

Thanks for helping grow this sub!

Fair warning: I purchased gas at Hatoff's Gas Station yesterday afternoon and got my credit card info skimmed. Did not go in to use the register. My debit card was only in my possession, from my wallet into the gas pump and then into my pocket. I was never away from the pump / the side of my car.

Today I got a call from my bank's fraud prevention service about a ton of new and suspicious charges... the first of which was $75 at Hatoff's, immediately after the gas purchase.

I called Hatoff's to let them know there may be a fake card-skimmer attached to one or more of the pumps, and the guy was confused and angry... he kept asking if I lost my card or left my card there (I did not), and that he didn't know anything about it.

Title says it all. If anyone has any leads please let me know!

So this might be a stupid one, but I’m from Worcester and I just moved to Boston. During snow season it was a bit of an unspoken rule that if you have street parking, you can put a chair or a cone in your “spot” on the street (especially if you were the one who shoveled it) to reserve a space and no one will take it. Is this a thing in Boston? Will people respect this or will they totally ignore it?

looking for a no frills but younger-style cut, layers bangs etc. have struggled to find a good salon, would love to hear some recs!

Are there any judge free social run clubs in the area?

Wondering if anyone has had any experiences similar to mine the last ~2 months near Centre St.

•Grocery delivery bags were ripped open one early weekend morning with a few items stolen.

•A neighbor’s bike that has been locked to a fence for about a year recently had both wheels removed/stolen.

I know we live in a city and these things can happen, but also have noticed more unfamiliar roamers around the neighborhood.

Anyone notice a bunch of ladybugs flying around in the past couple days? I'm over near the JP/Brookline border.
