Moving

Hi!

I’m looking to move with my very diverse family - I can’t find a lot of info on Whitman or Hanson, and we are liking this house in Hanson very, very much.

Education, diversity, some town events - just a nice area in general is what we’re looking for.

We hated Bridgewater and weren’t treated the best here and there, also just didn’t like it.. and I was raised in Quincy and am not going back.

We’re just trying to get a shorter commute compared to our almost 2 hours into Boston from borderline providence area.

We loveeeeee everything here so it’s hard but that house in Hanson is really nice.

Thanks all!

Hosting a Grief Workshop in Weymouth

All details and tickets here :)

https://facebook.com/events/s/the-light-in-loss-a-workshop-w/1823995798126071/

We often associate grief with death, but grief comes with the ending of any experience we live through. This workshop will allow you to open your heart to exploring and honoring your grief. Wherever you are in that process when you arrive to this workshop- is exactly where you’re suppose to be. This will be a safe space to release and find new perspective in the loss. All levels are welcome as we embark on a restorative flow with hip and heart openers, allowing ourselves to heal and receive energy that we can transmute into personal power. I will lend a helping hand through this process with reiki healing. Additionally, we will use breath work and meditation to create space that allows for deeper alchemy. A gentle suggestion to bring a journal and pen as you may have moments throughout our time together that you feel called to write down. There are so many of you here who I have connected deeply with about grief. This workshop will be a great opportunity for us to be in community with one another and find light in the loss.

Best Realtor on the South Shore?

My boyfriend and I are looking to move to the South Shore from Boston. Does anyone recommend a full-time realtor there who can help us find a place? Looking for someone who is committed to finding us what we want, and will send us off-market listings because they're well-connected.

Kitchen knife sharpener

I’m aware it’s cheaper for me to do it myself but I still would prefer to have someone else do it.

Any recs would be great! I only have a few but they need a refresh bad

Hey all,

My wife and I are looking to move to the top of the south shore in the Braintree/Weymouth/Quincy/Hingham area. Are there places (condos/apartments) that people have had success with? We are looking to spend $3000 or less. TIA!

Cleaning Service

Hi - I’m looking for cleaning service recommendations in the south shore region. We have a fairly large home (4000 sqft) & would be looking to have it cleaned 1/month. I’d greatly appreciate any tried, true and reliable references! Please feel free to provide how much you paid for your services so I can also get an idea of cost. Thank you!

Best nail salon?

Hi! Wondering where there's a good nail salon that does acrylics and isn't crazy expensive but knows what they're doing. Went to a place in Quincy today and they used way too much acrylic so they're really too thick. They didn't have forms either- I had to get tips. Didn't have a lot of color choices either. Thanks in advance!

BCNC 5K Family Fun Run in Quincy

Hi everyone! I’m volunteering for the BCNC Quincy 5K family fun run on Oct 19 at Merrymount Park and want to invite you all to come join us. This year’s course will be stroller and kid friendly across groomed trails and fields so bring the entire family.

The proceeds of this race provide youth leadership classes, English classes, and mental health services to Quincy families.

Early registration fee of $25 by Sep 13 gets you a free t-shirt and there will be raffles after the race.

Enjoy a nice fall run with the family to get you ready for that Turkey Trot while helping out the community. Thanks!

Adult softball league

Looking for recommendations for an adult softball league on the south shore. It could be Co-ed or mens league (prefer co-ed though). I'm in Kingston but would be willing to drive a bit.

I played in my 20s and most of my 30s until I had kids and home life got really busy. Just looking to get back into it. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Gym recommendations?

I’m moving from Boston to marshfield and can’t seem to find a gym that I like. I am shocked there isn’t an equinox or lifetime in the area! I’m looking for something that has a normal gym + classes. Although if anyone knows a boutique studio they love I’d love to hear about that too (spin, yoga, Pilates, etc). Alternatively, I am also wondering if anyone has been to OPEX in Pembroke and if you can share the price? It isn’t on their website and I don’t want to contact them without knowing the price beforehand. TIA!

Any particularly good AA meetings around the South Shore?

I used to go to a meeting in Melrose up until three months ago when it just became too tiring and expensive with gas to drive through Boston from Brockton for a 7 pm meeting. Does anyone have a particular meeting in the area that would be good to attend? I’ve been considering getting back into attending meetings but am curious as to where is recommended. Thank you!

Where can I go to hear jazz at a bar or restaurant?

There's places in Boston to do this (most notably Wally's Cafe Jazz Club in Dorchester) but I'd like to find somewhere nearby. Might be a long shot. But do any of you have a chill bar or restaurant you go to in order to just have a drink and listen to some jazz?
