Moving to JP. Need to bring my out of state car which is ineligible for residential parking permit cuz it’s registered out of state. Is it necessary to get a residential parking permit to park on Parkton or nearby? Is parking terribly difficult? Worth renting a spot?

I’d love any and all advice as I’ve seen mixed opinions.

Hey i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions in terms of a trusted local jeweler i could bring my gf’s family ring to in order to be cleaned and have some small diamonds replaced. The ring is a family heirloom and she wants me to use it to propose sometime soon.

Thanks!

Does anyone know why this helicopter has been floating in the air for like 20 min now without moving and ridiculously close to the ground?? Thanks

Hi, I am not very good at sharpening my kitchen knives at home and would like recommendations for getting them sharpened locally. I know Kitchenwitch offers this service, but are there other options?

Thanks!

Speeding on Centre Street between Murray Circle and Allandale has gotten completely out of hand. Residents can't safely pull out of side streets. Pedestrians can't cross safely. Last week, a neighbor was hit at Louders Lane—his car was totaled and the driver took off.

This has been a problem for decades, but it's accelerating. We all share the same fear: how long before someone is killed? We're asking the Department of Conservation and Recreation, State Police, and our elected officials to stop waiting for a tragedy.

We started a petition asking for three concrete things: an immediate community meeting with officials, visible traffic enforcement TODAY (not after a study), and a commitment to traffic calming measures and a proper safety review at our most dangerous intersections.

If you live near Centre Street or know Jamaica Hills, you've probably white-knuckled through this stretch. If this is hitting home, would you consider signing and sharing? This is about preventing someone from getting seriously hurt—or worse.

Anyone know what’s going on at Hyde park ave? There’s a helicopter directly overhead near Ukraine way

Look at how many votes are here and consider what representation means when neighborhood councils fight about housing development.

Hello! Was hoping to get some info on the Monument Tennis Club at Loring Greenough from any local residents https://www.themonumenttennisclub.org/. They have minimal information on their website, are largely unresponsive to email, and yet I rarely see anyone using the courts! Was wondering if anybody knew anything about them.

Clothing: American vintage and brands like Everlane, J Crew, Madewell, etc. Most clothes will be between $5-8 except a couple higher priced items such as unworn Sézane. Most clothing is XXS/XS/S, some XL-XXL.

Books: Contemporary fiction, classics, theory, etc. Something for everyone except kids — no children's books, sorry :(

Camera and A/V: Mostly accessories, some non-tested film cameras. Otherwise a mix of analog and digital, and some bigger stuff like a Ronin-M.

Misc: We'll also have some furniture, decor, and household items!

📍 18 St John St, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
