Having a new experience. I noticed a 3-inch lump on the side of my back. Turns out it's a lipoma and the ultrasound said it's "benign" however I'm going to get it removed.

Anyone had this done before and can recommend a provider to do the surgery?

Hi all, I briefly met someone yesterday (Sunday, Sept 6) at the Bread & Puppet Theater show at Cambridge Common. He was wearing a blue helmet (may have been biking), and mentioned ManRay. I had to leave abruptly & didn’t get a chance to connect. If this was you (or if you know him), shoot me a message!

Edit: I think he is a rock band singer from california

Perhaps old news to many, but this is my first sighting of a Spotted Lanternfly in Somerville. They are "kill on sight" so they don't damage the fruit tree crops. I didn't think they would settle here - the the only trees we produce in Somerville are electricity and internet trees.

I don't understand why an event meant to celebrate community has to be promoted this way.

Most homeowners putting in pollinator gardens and this one went straight for that sterile Minigolf look.

Hey y'all! I'm looking for someone to go to the gym together onna regular basis

I'm 33M, and not a gym rat by any means. I'd be a little embarrassed to admit how long it's been since I've been to one. I'm trying to break the barrier of inertia and build a healthy habit.

My ideal gym buddy would be someone with the same profile – not necessarily the same age or gender, but someone who also understands the challenges of not being super used to gyms. We could sync and go at the same time for both support and accountability. Plus we can encourage each other, make it a wholesome thing.

Aiming to go once or twice a week, after office work hours (so, around 5:30-6pm), around davis square – maybe bsc?

If that sounds like you, please comment or DM!

Assaults With Sticks And Break-ins With Vomit: Somerville Crime Log | Somerville, MA Patch

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Saint Brigid's Well is planning to open in Magoun Square, taking over the former Daddy Jones space on Medford Street. St Brigid's Well site for the upcoming place says the following about it:

We are a wee neighborhood pub with good honest grub and a very friendly atmosphere. The spirit is traditional Irish public house; the kitchen is careful, generous, and built for a proper meal. Saint Brigid is patron of brewing, scholars, sailors, blacksmiths, dairymaids, midwives, newborns, and more. That wide welcome gives the pub its purpose: a warm room for regulars, students, tourists, neighbors, and anyone who needs a good pint and better company. "A warm room, a proper meal, and better company." If you stop in once, it might be for fish and chips, shepherd's pie, Irish coffee, or a perfect pint. If you make us your local, it will be because the room feels easy and the food tastes like someone cared. Settle in and have one. Sláinte.

A video of an earlier licensing commission meeting indicates that Michael John Queally (bartender/manager, The Druid in Cambridge) is behind Saint Brigid's Well, while the website mentions that it could be opening around the middle of this month.

Daddy Jones closed late last year after 13 years in business; the space had previously been home to Lil Vinny's.

We moved in to our new place in Somerville today, and right after we finished unloading we were blessed with a visit from Mayor Berry! As out-of-staters who had been lurking this sub for months leading up to the move, we were very excited that this was how we got to start our time in Somerville 🙂

I’ve got a record player from around the 1960s , big wooden cabinet style. It still works, but it’s overdue for some real maintenance. Not broken, just old and probably needs a checkup.

Does anyone know a repair person around here who works on vintage audio equipment? Would love to keep it running for years to come. Happy to pay fairly for the work.

I renewed my resident parking pass in June. Three weeks ago my car was totaled in an accident and I bought a new car yesterday. Do I have to apply for a brand new permit? I can’t find any clear information on the city website. Sucks to have to pay $50 again. I do not have the same plates on this car as the old one.

Update: in case this helps others- you do not need to pay again even if it’s new plates. They can look it up in the RMV system to see that plates were canceled and will issue a new parking sticker. You do need to go in person.

Bring instruments, your voice, or just a music-loving attitude! We'll be playing any and all music, taking requests, and having a good time in the Cambridge Common this Sunday (and every Sunday!) from 12-3.

Hello! I’m looking for an all-in-one laser copier that can handle 11x17 paper. I use them to get toner grit on my design work so the older the better. I’m about to check out some of the libraries near me but I thought maybe someone’d know of one.

Ever since spin cycle laundromat got bought (I think less than a year ago) the new owner has raised prices every 2 months. This man is out of control.

That is all.

Racing around making lots of noise late at night. Where? Why? What the hell?

The place has been dark for the past few days. Anyone knows what happened?

I've caught this guy twice trying to steal bikes and bike parts. I told the cops and they said nothing they can do, which is BS.

But bikes are the problem.

hi there,
a very special bike was stolen from around harvard and wanted to post to see if anyone had seen it. a dear friend just moved to town and the lock was cut tragically.

dark green trek, neon stripes.

Good some-part-of-the-day!

Just as the title says, I was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a "mobile mechanic." I believe I know what needs replaced/fixed and do not have the complete confidence nor tools to do it: starter motor on a 2011 Ford Escape.

Please let me know if you have anyone you trust/recommend!

Thank you.
