Marion Manor to close: https://www.dotnews.com/2024/south-bostons-marian-manor-close-summer An incredibly big loss to the community from a care standpoint, but also a big opportunity for the land the building sits on.

Oh man, I did a sleepover there too around the age of 7 as well, and the T-Rex already freaked me out. I didn't see that movie, but I was so very grateful we got placed in the temporary Sharks exhibit instead of by ol' Rexy. That movie would have ruined me, I'm glad they skipped it. Looks to...

This photo is such good Boston. I'm going to have to make a trip into the city to watch the cars go under on the Pike from that plaza once it's open. Neat space.

The "drinking while x" part of that video is so, so true. But, then again, I don't drink. So, to quote the great American philosopher Mitch Hedberg, "This is not the target market." I really think personal preference is driving the split Java King mentions. I've mentioned before that I...

‘Reaching the end of its useful life’: As Historic Matthews Arena faces foundational issues, Northeastern weighs new arena https://huntnewsnu.com/78197/sports/reaching-the-end-of-its-useful-life-as-historic-matthews-arena-faces-foundational-issues-northeastern-weighs-new-arena/ I still have to...

As a BLS alum, that "Boston Latin" station is grating on me. That's Latin Academy, not Boston Latin. Sumus Primi, etc.

In the back, though! Jaguar XJR-15! Literally a Group C prototype for the street. And a Porsche 906!

Those LH Chryslers still look great. I remember how cool the Intrepid looked, both generations. The Charger is a vastly superior car, but it never looked as good as the Intrepids.

Starfire! My dad had a 1962 that was his first car. He wrapped it around a light pole on Morrissey Blvd. and has been chasing one ever since. Mom rolls her eyes every time he finds a new one for sale. I have a new appreciation for the F355 after seeing a Top Gear article on Jeff Segal's...

That '80s Chevy Pickup isn't quite right, looks like it has the roofline of a more modern truck and they grafted the classic nose on. Looks like a Mercedes SL behind it.

4/27 in Southie

West Broadway and L St.

That's kind of 1+1=3, in my opinion. Any barcade with a driving game would fall under that. I am, sadly, going to have to try this out. Maybe early on a weekday so it's not crowded. I just wish F1 had more tracks that were actually fun to drive - Red Bull Ring, Spa, and Suzuka, I guess Imola...

Cute game-style marathon map from an Outside.com article. Don't know why they put the Zakim where the Neponset is, but otherwise it's kinda neat.

They were able to scramble cruisers to stop traffic. The police audio is something else: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/26/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-maryland/

Both heartbreaking and terrifying. Thinking of all the people who were on the bridge when it happened - a reminder of how quickly life can turn due to things out of your control, something I'm all too familiar with at this point. Sounds like, amazingly, they've gotten two people alive out of the...
