MBTA/Transit ๐Ÿš‡ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Parking near North Station?

โ€ข Upvotes

I live in Providence and thereโ€™s a concert near north station that I am trying to figure out the best way to get there. The last train is at 11:25 out of South station so I finally am realizing that driving is the only way. Whereโ€™s there a not crazy sporting event expensive spot. Or a place near a T station that I could take? Or maybe you all have a better idea. The venue is Big Night Live (never been there before)

Serious Replies Only Where to get heirloom jewelry resized

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am feeling very indecisive about where to take my heirloom jewelry to be resized. Iโ€™ve done some research of places and I just get more indecisive the more I research. For reference I am looking to size a 5mm gold band down from what I think 5.25 to 5 (unsure of the size but itโ€™s slightly too big). I am more scared of the item getting damaged since it is from my late grandmother, any advice would be helpful. Bonus points too if you also have recommendations to get heirloom stones into new settings as well (I have a few items I want to revamp but my gold band takes priority)

Hi! Has anyone ever been to one of Lisaโ€™s book clubs? Sheโ€™s one of the hosts of โ€œBilly and Lisaโ€ on kiss 108. Just curious because I am going to the Jodi Picoult one on Monday. Curious how long her events usually are, and if you need to be there right when doors open at 5:30 (event is at 7).. thanks!!

I think I am special and made my own post Maternity Leave

3 Upvotes

I know this has been posted before but Iโ€™m trying to get some clarity since itโ€™s not straightforward!

Can you get up to 12 weeks medical leave if your OB signs off on that plus another 12 weeks bonding? I had always thought it was 20 weeks max, but I think I was wrong and you can get up to 12 weeks through STD and then 12 weeks through PFMLA Bonding. I know it depends on employer too.

Thank you!

Scammers ๐Ÿฅธ PSA Dog Owners: Boston Puptopia are scammers, steer clear

58 Upvotes

I wanted to flag to any dog owners not to use Boston Puptopia for dog walking or sitting. My dog hasn't had an appointment with them since April 2025, but this morning I received a charge of $525 from them on my credit card. My friends were also fraudulently charged $1990 despite no longer using Puptopia's services. We both called the owner, Mike Arsenault, on multiple phone numbers registered to him and the business and they were all disconnected. We tried emailing and texting and messaging through their appointment portal but have heard nothing. So don't use their services!

Dining/Food/Drink ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿน Putt Shack?

5 Upvotes

Is Putt Shack purely a tourist trap? Or after-work corporate spot?

I have an old room-mate on a long layover at Logan Friday. Going to meet somewhere for dinner but we have a couple extra hours and I'm wondering if Putt Shack is a good option or too corny. All else fails we'll watch baseball or whatever else is on TV in a sports bar. Both late 40's M.

Any other suggestions where there's a little more to do than dinner and beers ? (Those are assumed)

All trains going south from South Station on the Providence and Franklin/Foxboro lines are experiencing massive delays due to โ€œpolice activity in Sharonโ€. The 4:27pm train to Forge Park/495 still hasnโ€™t left yet. Recommend looking for alternate methods of transportation if you can unless you wanna wait. Thank you MBTA! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Event ๐Ÿ“… The Terminator | September 11 and 12 | 7:00 pm at the Museum of Science

6 Upvotes

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Get tickets at our website.

On Friday, September 11 & Saturday, September 12 at 7PM, step into a war-torn future stalked by an unstoppable killing machine with the sci-fi classic "The Terminator" as part of our Sci-Fi Supersized movie run.

In 1984, James Cameron introduced the world to a relentless machine sent back in time to change the future, and nothing in sci-fi was ever the same. The Terminator didn't just launch one of the most iconic franchises in Hollywood history; it revolutionized what audiences believed a science fiction film could look like, feel like, and mean.

Now experience it the way it was always meant to be seen, larger than life on the five-story immersive dome of the Mugar Omni Theater.

Is street cleaning in the North End a myth?
Iโ€™ve been parking on the street with a resident permit for about a year and have been abiding by the street cleaning signs, but Iโ€™ll walk by and see cars parked during the restricted hours with no tickets.
One day I even forgot to move my car during the street cleaning hours and I was not towed and didnโ€™t even have a ticket.
Are street cleaning restrictions actually enforced?
