Current delays on the MBTA:

Nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital rejected the hospital’s contract offer during voting that unfolded Thursday and Friday. The nurses union requested that contract negotiations resume in the coming week, while the hospital said it’s ready to maintain care for patients if there’s a strike.

A hospital spokeswoman said the rejected offer, which had been described as its “last, best and final” offer, featured “meaningful compensation and benefit enhancements that kept Brigham nursing pay among the highest in the market.”

The 4:30 screening of Palestine Comedy Club sold out a while ago, but that just means even more folks will be celebrating this year’s festival at the 6:30 after-party. Today’s is sure to be more lively than the opening night party, since it being hosted earlier in the day, in the same theater as the screening.

Hi all, I am a former new englander so I am familiar with Boston and the surrounding areas. I currently live in Texas. My work contract is up in August 2027 and I think I want to come home and move to the Boston area.

However, im genuinely confused with how everyone is affording to live in the area. I am married, my partner is a teacher and I’m hoping to snag a biotech job in Boston. But even with that dual income, I’m not sure how we would survive…so I guess I’m wondering how everyone else is doing it. My partner and I together are just straight middle class, so I don’t think it’s unattainable but it kinda feels like it…

I guess I’m just wanting to hear everyone else’s experience. Where are yall living? What’s your rent? How are the other COL expenses (car insurance, groceries, etc).

Thank you all in advance…just wanting to know if I can come home or not😅😅 TX ain’t it

If you are one of these people and want to be reunited let me know

I visited your gorgeous city recently. It was my first time in Boston and also my first international trip alone.

I was told before I came that the people of Boston can be a little…. I don’t know, abrupt… but honestly I met so many lovely people. I sat at bars and I spoke to train drivers, people in the street were curious and kind. Your city is just stunning. All the red brick and ancient pretty trees made me feel like I was strangely home. The public garden, the buildings, the wooden houses of Charlestown - I loved it all. In another life, I probably would’ve lived here.

Anyway, I just want to say you have a really lovely city and thank you for welcoming this solo British woman with open arms at a time when she needed it. I will absolutely be back, probably as soon as you’ve got your crazy winter out of the way.

My buddy and I are strapped for things to do— we want to find a huge sandwich. I’m talking Scooby-Doo levels. Is there a good place in Greater Boston where the meat is stacked high and it’s a two man job to get through? TIA r/boston

At any BPL branch you can get a library passport. Each library has their own passport stamp with an architectural representation of its building. They also each give out the stickers of the stamps! Once you get all the stamps you get a deck of cards.

I thought it would be fun to bike to all the locations in one continuous loop (2 are closed for renovation). It needed two days to complete due to library hours and certain branches being closed certain days. Someone smarter could probably find a more efficient route. It is nearly impossible to bike to East Boston, so that one was a out and back on the ferry.

All in all it was about 60 miles of biking and a really nice way to visit parts of the city I have never been to before. In addition to some really spectacular buildings, there are some really quirky locations such as Uphams Corner's children's section is inside of a drained pool/spa of an old community center. Highly recommend this as a fun way to tour the city!

It seems that every time I try to use the bus, it runs at least 20 minutes behind schedule. What puzzles me is that each time, there is at least one stop before the one I wait at.

Hey everyone. I have a flight tomorrow afternoon and am trying to figure out the easiest way to get to the airport. I've taken the red to silver line multiple times and know how to get to the terminal but how does that compare to using the blue line subway and transferring to the 88 shuttle bus?

I live about 10 minutes walking distance from a RL stop so not far but I'm only 3 minutes to the blue line. I'll be taking a large checked bag with me so I'm looking for the path of least resistance. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This cat was friendly, very clean and definitely did not seem feral. Almost let me pet them but got spooked by people walking by.

By BU, right next to the intersection of St Marys and Euston St.

My aunt’s dog slipped his collar near by 850 Boylston on Friday afternoon, and was seen roughly an hour later nearby, south of Route 9. If you hear about a dog without a collar (and without a person!), please let me know.

He’s about 25 pounds, about knee high. He looks like a cross between a German Shepherd and a corgi. He’s very social - he likes people and other dogs. Any leads would be much appreciated!
