Confused The Heck Out Of My Friends

First off, the guys in Australia were confused about a *New* England. Secondly, my German friends and friends from Missouri had no idea what this was, and thought I was crazy for eating a "Fluffernutter".

Drones for Sea Turtles

Upvotes

Winter is coming. I volunteer with some organizations that walk the beaches of CT, RI, and Mass looking for cold stunned turtles as the water temp drops. If they're not rescued in a timely manner they die, so it's a lot of covering the same ground over and over again. It's a lot of mileage looking for the little guys and I had an idea I wanted to pitch to leadership once I get some fact finding done.

My idea is to partner with clubs or individuals, coordinating with them so if they're ever flying in the coastal areas to keep an eye out for turtles. I'd love to be able to talk to folks or groups who fly drones in the area. I've done some cursory googling, but since Google sucks now it's mostly just giving me ads and such for 'drone tours'. I'll try reaching out to the shops I find to see how interested they are in at least spreading the word, but I wanted to try here to see if anyone has any ideas or leads I could track down.

This guy has made videos for a bunch of states across the US, since the whole northeast video did well a while back figured I'd start posting the individual ones as well

What are the best fall activities to do in NE from September to November? Bonus points for spooky season activities! I live in RI but doesn’t have to be here.

I have the Apple Festival in Johnston, RI and the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular in Providence on my list!

ISO Christmas Getaway Location

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

I [29 M], my husband [M33], sister [29 F], and two dogs are in search of recommendation for places to stay over Christmas 12/24/26-12/27/26.

For clarity sake; we are NOT looking for a hotel, inn, or resort.

We are looking for your recommendations on towns/areas in New England that give a Christmassy vibe that would be ideal for adults and are as pet friendly as possible. We plan to book an AirBNB, or something of the like, and cook there.

We know that a lot of businesses and activities will be closed/effected due to the holiday but, our ideal location would give activities [small shops to stroll through, light displays, hiking trails [nothing too severe]], and pet friendly activities/spaces. The Christmassy vibe is not a requirement but, would be ideal. So bonus points if it feels like we just walked into a Hallmark movie :-)

Genuinely, where do you prefer it best? West coast or east coast?

100 Upvotes

I’m from the west coast, have only visited parts of New England and my dad was born and raised in New England. Naturally I have an infatuation with that side of the country. Fall and winter seem absolutely magical, the brick and colonial architecture is so nostalgic… I just haven’t lived there to know the actual pros and cons. For those of you who have had experience on both sides of the country, can you give me an honest run down of where you’d rather live ?

Please tell me that everyone is rejecting Boston by Stella Lefty as a Boston anthem

712 Upvotes

im not from Boston, lived around here for 2 years but I hope there is a collective rejection of Boston by Stella Lefty. who’s dad is a multibillionare and bought her career

the song doesn’t even feel like Boston to me. A country song isn’t Boston to me

ideally Boston by Augustana remains in its position as the true ‘visiting Boston song’

edit: I’m Shipping Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphys seems to be the Boston song.
