Someone from Boston complaining about how people pronounce words... Hilarious. I'm already dreading my trip up around you Massholes next week. At least I get to go to Treehouse and Trillium.
We pronounce them correctly; everyone else is wrong. That aside, I don't know what Trillium you're going to, but the one in Canton is really good.
We're staying with my sister-in-law up in Amesbury, so we'll be coming down from there. Kids want to go to the science museum, so I was planning on hitting up the Fenway location so I can actually sit and have a beer instead of just picking up stuff at the Thomson Place location.
The Thomson Place one isn't just a grab-n-go can pick-up anymore. It has a full-fledged restaurant and beer hall.
Good to know. Depending on what else we do in town, at least I'll have options. It'll probably still be Fenway, because we talked about going to at least walk by the ballpark. I want my kids to at least see the most racist sports arena in the US in person.
Growing up we lived 25 min S of the CT/MA border. My dad used to drive up and stock up on beer/wine/liquor because of the tax differential. He got pulled over on the way back from 1 such run, and was given the ultimatum of either surrendering all the booze, or get a State-tax charge. It's also not fair MA has those 2 breweries that close. I have to drive 3 hours north just to get to Toppling Goliath.
If you go to Dorchester people don’t even breathe oxygen, it’s actually atomized lobster butter that fuels them.
Just registered for my first 10k (6.2 Mikes) in about a month. I’ve done plenty of 10k runs on my own, and expect to be around the 10 mile range on my long runs by then, but I’ve never done a sanctioned 10k. Something to look forward to, especially given that the last “official” race I ran, I tore the meniscus in both knees. Went to AllTrails to check out the reviews for the park it’s in, and everyone is saying it’s muddy and slippery with lots of elevation changes and in general it’s not a nice place on earth. My kinda race!
Anybody ever ordered from Long Creek Outfitters? (or shopped there) I just ordered some Ariat boots from them, and they were significantly cheaper than everywhere else. And, free shipping.
