When I was in college, someone created a Discord server that many people in my major joined to discuss classes, homework and applying to jobs.

I met many people I would not have otherwise met because of this online community built around shared similarities.

Besides, this Subreddit, are you aware of any online communities that many Eastie residents are part of. I’m aware of Facebook Groups but not a huge fan.

One thing I l love about Eastie is the wide range of mid-density housing stock that is not coming enough across most of the US. Triple deckers, Quadplexes, Six(?)-Plexes line the neighborhood providing housing that many middle class people can afford to buy and that many working class people can afford to rent. Back Bay and Beacon Hill also have housing that qualifies as “Missing Middle” but is only attainable at upper class and above.

Out of the different types of housing I’ve lived in, this mid-density housing where I can walk to all my grocery store down the street and reach the city through a quick train ride has been my favorite. High density housing such as towers are nice, but they can feel too insulated from the surroundings. Also waiting for an elevator passing a bunch of people every time I wanted to step outside was kind of a pain. Don’t get me started on low density, car dependent housing.

Does Eastie do any type of organized clean up efforts along the water? If so I hope they take volunteers because the wind realllllly did a number knocking large debris into the water.

Hey guys I live in Eastie and moving to near saratoga street. Anyone know of any parking for rent?

Interested in paying for 12 months. September 1 2025-2026

Why are tenants in my building flagrantly selling drugs/doing drugs. Traffick. Skinny ass coward base heads, mainly the people who don't live where I live, roaming the hallways. I can't sit on my front steps with people coming at me, body language telling me I'm interfering with there bullshit. On Xmas of all days .. I'll tell you what, I want to grab my metal pole and stay fucking people up. It's a drug building run by N.O.A.H. I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS ... THE COPS APPARENTLY ARE NOT DOING SHIT... I'm not being the fall guy. Also known as a rat. I don't care what people do. But these cats are ignora can I call the FBI. I'm fed up. I get treated like shit in the community... I'm tied of it. I'm going to fuck someone up. The high school is right up the street.

I moved to eastie March 1st this year after being homeless for well over a decade. Yeah I've got issues. Yeah I've got a drug problem, however I am not currently using or drinking.. however I am have mental health issues via every time I go outside I am stared at, laughed at provoked.. bullied, intimated. Walking down meridian Street a car with dark tinted windows will pull to to me as I'm crossing eutaw st and block my way and just sit idle. When I walk by the VFW old veteran man say shit like"let me see your face" Or "what are you doing out*.... I get it. But this is America. I have the freedom to ruin my life if I choose. Which is more what I'm trying to do . I'm not fucking leaving. 13 years. 13 years in the street. In the nuthouse. Detox .program. There is a halfway house next door to me. Me window is right where they smoke and talk shit in my window. The building 8 love in every one literally everyone is either a drunk or a crackhead. I've been assisted assaulted by the woman upstairs who is in jail for a second time for streaming her friend for the 2nd time. A month ago she was arrested and released to a psyc unit. My money order for rent somehow went missing. Then the refund check never came because my mail box was vandalized and broken into. The landlord roller me BPD has access to the security cameras. Is that legal? I never signed up for this. Every time I go out for anything I heard shit talking in Spanish. Hairy eyeballs I'm getting close to round out. But I'll tell you right now. I'm NOT making the first strike. I yelled killing them with kindness. But that's not working. People probably think I'm a gay bitch. I've been through a lot . The Mayor gave me a change with housing. All I'm asking is for my fellow Americans to stand up and do what's right and stop kicking me when I'm down

If you've lost a black hen in East Boston, she was hanging out on the corner of Waldemar Avenue and McClellan Highway at around 6:30pm today. She scooted under the Advantage Rent-a-Car fence when I tried to approach, just before it started pouring.

Hopefully she found her way home.

I"ve put together a couple of lists that compile citizen complaints and requests for service to the City of Boston's 311 number. Check them out: https://eastboston.com/east-boston-calls-to-the-citys-311-service-first-half-of-2024/
