It’s not posh, but it’s not trying to be posh, either.

The main floor is very clean, the guys in white shirts and ties are ever-present and watchful, and even the “for lease” shams over the unused storefronts are neat and tidy.

The largely unoccupied basement where the bathrooms are is watched by a security guard, and an odd but sensible touch is that there’s no mirror in the men’s room (no need to worry about randos breaking the mirror or scratching graffiti into it).

Even if some stuff does go down there (I haven’t witnessed any personally) I can tell that the manager is doing the best job they can of running a non-posh food court—hats off to them.

Both my girlfriend and I have never tried the sponge bob ice cream bars, and it’s on our food bucket list (an odd one, I know). We’re in Boston for the weekend, and amongst much better boxes, we’re looking to check the sponge bob bars off the list.

Does anybody know where I can reliably get some? Preferably anywhere in Boston proper or north towards Somerville, but we’re willing to travel if they’re found reliably anywhere in the greater Boston area.

when i first started using the mbta, i was constantly checking routes and trying to plan everything perfectly. after a while, i started realizing that locals seem to have their own little strategies for dealing with delays, transfers and unexpected problems

i’m curious what habits people picked up over time

is there something you do automatically now when using the t that you definitely didn’t do when you first moved here?

There's a dude who hangs around Peter's Park - black dude who's super tall (think like 6'7) and has a chin strap, skinny/wiry frame, plays basketball sometimes, but spends a majority of his time just sort of lurching and lingering around on his bike. Was playing ball there today and he and his buddy went into my shit and took off with it (what angers me most is that one of the stolen item's was a child's phone). Can anyone who plays ball at Peter's/knows that area ID this dude? Greatly appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction. Don't mean any harm of course. Just would like to have a chat with my boy.

I want to see the Odyssey in IMAX at the amc Boston Common, but i have niticed that on the AMC website they say that you have to be 17+ wo watch without an adult, and I am 15. If I buy my ticket online, does anyone know if there is a ticket checker stationed ahead of the theaters? How strict are they about age?

As seen in a different geographic area subreddit. Nothing too serious, just a little thing that grinds your gears. For me it's people who get on the T before others get off.

Hi Boston people! My senior cat is in need of a dental cleaning. Potentially 1-2 teeth need to be removed. I’m looking to keep the cost under 1.5k if possible. We’re willing to drive to NH or RI for cheaper options (as long as they are legitimate and reputable!)

Has anyone been able to find an affordable dental for a lower price?

Thank you everyone!!
