Lao Hu Tong in Amherst Attacked and Review Bombed

Not sure what happened here, checked the website to see if they posted anything and noticed they are being targeted by either a group or just a single individual with multiple accounts, some racist and threatening stuff has been posted to their reviews over the past week.

Can you have a good time at Six Flags if you can't ride any coasters?

Hi all. Basically what the title says. I've had two lower back surgeries, so rollercoasters are a no go. Can you have a good time (and justify the ticket price) without riding coasters?

I've looked at their website and what other rides and games are available, and I definitely see a few good options. I'm hoping to hear from someone who's been there this season or last. Thanks!

Places to watch Mexico v. England tonight?

I’m having trouble finding out where tonight’s World Cup match between England and Mexico is being shown. Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be much more fun to root for Mexico in a crowd!

Looking to Digitize VHS Tapes

I’m looking for somewhere that could digitize several old home VHS tapes that I have. I asked CVS and they said they could do it but their uncertainty with some of my questions makes me hesitate to go with them unless I have no other options. Thanks in advance for any leads!

On America's 250th Birthday Let's Remember the Spirit of Massachusetts is the Spirit of America. If You are Against What Massachusetts Stands For, You Hate America.

​

This means if you oppose any of the following:

Pro Choice

Legal Weed

Gay Marriage

Social Safety Nets

Higher Taxation on Millionaires

Trans Rights

Gender Affirmation for Trans Youth

Boys Playing Girls Sports

Girls Playing Boys Sports

High Quality Public Education

Free Community College for ALL (including immigrants)

No Taxation Without Representation

Ferrets as pets (looking at you Mamdani and California)

Then you actually hate America.

My fav event of the year is coming up and almost nobody knows about it!

The annual pond tour is such an enchanting event. It's like the parade of homes, but for beautiful yards, water features, gardens etc. It's such a nice way to get out of the house, get inspiration for my own projects, or just dream and enjoy what other people have done.

These locations are normally closed to the public except for the tour weekend! July 11 & 12th.

I also have to mention the koi - they're so beautiful and mesmerizing!

Photo sneak peaks and a map are on the site:

Swimming holes in Western Mass to just lie in water

Are there any scenic water/swimming holes in western mass that have very slow/shallow river water, just to lie in the water, or dip the feet. Preferably close to a waterfall and not a long hike.
Any areas with a lot of trees to provide some shade just sitting by the river bank?

Old Action Figures - where to sell?

Hi all,

I have a number of old action figures from various shows/movies and would like to know if anyone knows of a store where I could pawn them off. These are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Swamp thing, X-men, etc...

I would love to see these go to a good home, or at least a cool shop! I live in the Northhampton region, but wouldn't mind driving to Worcester/the Berkshire area if it's worth the trip.

Thanks

Has anyone gone tubing on the Deerfield River on a day without a dam release?

My friends and I really wanted to go tubing on the Deerfield River tomorrow, but there’s no scheduled dam release until Saturday.

Would the river be too low tomorrow or would it still be doable?

Avoiding comments?

I saw a recent post on this page that talked about how so much of the whole region's state and federal transportation infrastructure money is going to Northampton for this main street bike project. To be honest it really ticked me off to find out that so much money is being spent on a bike project in Northampton when the whole region's roads and bridges are falling apart. Do they really need that much of the money? I don't think so.

I decided to call my town official to let her know how I feel. She said I should make a public comment at the upcoming Pioneer Valley Planning Commission meeting because they decide how the funding is divided up and I should tell them how residents of other towns feel about it. Me and a few friends checked to see when the next meeting was and we told them about our concerns.

We were all set to comment and then come to find out they cancelled the meeting. Then, there was another one set for later this month where we could make a comment but come to find out they cancelled that one too. They made some statement saying that after careful consideration they decided to cancel it.

I don't like to jump to conclusions but to be honest they didn't seem happy to hear from us. They said Northampton has plans to get this design officially approved soon. Are they trying to get this pushed through before other towns have a say how they money is spent? It really makes me mad that they knew we wanted to make our concerns public and then they cancel the only two chances we had.

Places to swim in western Mass

It’s gonna be soooo hot and I wanna swim!! If you share any places that are secretive I’ll delete the post if you wish.
Questions 1. Do people still swim in the place off bay road across from Hampshire college?
2. How bad is the Connecticut river? I know there’s a spot to swim off the oxbow
3. Is there places to swim in the swift? The place I know is kayak access only.

“New” Zen Sangha in Western Mass

The Forest Park Zen Sangha has found their new home in Holyoke, MA. We are a small, radically-open and engaged sangha, welcoming any and all, just as you are and for the benefit of all beings. We believe that Zen practice is for the relief of suffering here and now for all beings. This means that we not only engage ourselves in practice, but take our engagement off the cushion into the world, into the community.

Our new home will house our weekly sittings and dharma talks, family dharma practice, half/full day retreats, and any wedding, shower, or funeral services as needed.

Currently we gather for a Family Service (Sundays 10:30a) and a regular Sitting and Talk (Sundays 11a). We also host a “Spiritual Care for Activists” meeting once a month specifically for those involved in activism or simply feeling the weight of current events. That is on the second Sunday of each month at 1p.

Bows to All!

🙏🙏🙏

P.S. “New” because the sangha had met for several years in Springfield, but went on hiatus after Covid. We are happy to now reconvene in Holyoke!

Leather Worker in the 413?

Hello folks, I am looking for someone in my area who does leather working who might be willing to help me out in making a simple leather pouch. It is important that I make it myself. It can be a very simple drawstring pouch from a soft leather, doesn’t have to be fancy. Maybe 8 x 8“. I have no leather working experience and I have no tools or supplies, so I’m hoping that there is someone who has these skills and a shop who could offer me a service of kind of coaching me through making a simple pouch and using their shop. Is there anyone in the area who could do this?
