Seems to be some kind of outage. Seems to work for some people and not others

Can anybody with some inside knowledge chime in on if we will ever be able to pay the real estate tax online without the exorbitant fee? A percentage of property value is insane (1% iirc). Is this a local issue or do other towns/cities/states do the same? Is this due to USPS lobbying for stamp sales?

There's some sort of new fangled power outage happening in the Griggs Park neighborhood near Coolidge Corner. In my home and the homes of two neighbors, some of the circuits are working and some aren't. In some rooms the lights and window ACs work, in some they don't.

I've spoken with two neighbors who are experiencing the same thing.

Eversource is reporting a power outage in our neighborhood, but this one is behaving differently from any power outage we've had in the past. Instead of losing all power to the house, some of the circuits have full power, and some have no power.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Is this related to the new Smart Meters that Eversource gave us a few weeks ago? It's certainly better than losing all our power, but I'd still like to know more about what's going on and how it works.

Hi everyone, Brookline Village Starbucks needs your help!

Starbucks headquarters is putting their all into union busting @ this location ahead of the July 8th vote. Show up & take a stand! They are manipulating their baristas and giving them false hope of corporate led change. Imagine if corporate paid their baristas instead of the lawyers meant to oppress them.

Get the word out, boycott, strike, and support those that are simply trying to find a way to pay their bills.

I'm in the market for a new stylist. Been going to Dellaria for many years. Was getting a discount which has been the only way I could afford to go there.

I am wondering where I can go for a short cut. I don't need them to wash or blow dry. Just a decent cut for $60 or less.

I hate Supercuts.

Thank you.

Well, looks like they're laying down fiber along where the T construction is on Beacon... a person can hope that there's some changes coming! Anyone know anything / talk to the guys working there?
