    MA Liquor Laws

    In addition to the 3am last call, they should allow bars and clubs to stay open after last call so that closing time can be staggered and so there are fewer incidents. Some clubs can even stay open til 4 or 5 and the clubs can serve soft drinks until then. That way, more people can have a fun...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    A general response to all the recent posts: 1. Just because immigration was one way back in the 1920s, doesn't mean it's that way now. We have laws and I think that when laws are made, they should be enforced. That being said, I'm not unsympathetic towards people who are willing to risk their...

    Your "Other" Hobbies

    I have a four year old, so I actually had a few years where I just didn't have time for my hobbies. Now that she's getting older, I'm doing more hiking these days when I can. I'm not the "climb Mt Everest" type of hike, but I do like walking the trails near my condo. I like to think I live in...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    It IS a very minor issue, but Blackbird raised it as a reason not to vote for Moulton.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I wouldn't say he has a "bad record." He just expressed the very popular view that he's not comfortable with trans girls playing sports with biological girls. Hardly earth-shattering. He wasn't attacking the entire community, and he actually does have a good record for supporting LGBTQ veterans...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I guess I've seen far too many cases lately where our representatives (from the President down to the House) have clearly passed an age where they can effectively represent their constituents. I realize that Markey could still have many good years left in him - hell, Malaysia elected a 90+ year...

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    Of all the hotels in the world, this is one of them.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    Fantastic 😬 Instead of having a relatively youngish liberal Democrat in Washington, we'll get another octogenarian. I doubt these guys have very different views on most issues in Washington, but do we really want to send another old guy back to the Senate?

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    I wasn't even aware of this. Thanks for posting. Maybe next time we go, we'll spend more time in the city. I did see a few nicer, more upscale areas - I had to run to a mall to get something and everyone had to go through a metal detectors just to get in.

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    We also got down to Galle Fort in the southern part of the country. Not much of a skyline, but it's a very cool, walkable area surrounded by an old Portuguese and Dutch built fort. I also added some photos of the train tracks located a little bit outside of the city. I wanted to post the video...

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    I was recently in Sri Lanka and I got a couple of shots from Colombo. Unfortunately, we spent little time in the city, so I only got shots of the Lotus Tower and some city shots.

    Esplanade infill and developments

    We were last in Boston on New Year's Eve day for First Night and we couldn't get my daughter to use the port-o-potties, so my wife went into the cinema near the Common and asked very nicely. I guess she gave them the "desperate parent" face and she was allowed to use the bathroom.

    New Haven

    Or at least expand State Street so it becomes the terminus for Metro North and a secondary NH stop for Amtrak.

    Hartford CT

    I graduated from college near New Haven in 2000 and during the the time I was there I saw a significant improvement in NH. Hartford was always kind of bland and boring, but it also had some dangerous neighborhoods. I also have a lot of family in friends in CT so I do go from time to time when...
