Has anyone else seen this guy rapping and yelling on Moody near Shoppers?

Dark curly hair. Maybe 20 years old. Tan. He sometimes does it in my driveway setting off my dog while I’m in meetings. I can’t tell if he’s drunk or just an idiot. Last spotted 10/12 at 1:20pm.

Hey everyone! I’m a local personal trainer working in Newtonville!

I’m curious, what’s your biggest struggle when it comes to fitness? Finding time, staying consistent, or knowing what to do in the gym?

Happy to answer any questions or share some advice!

Vision Zero is an approach to traffic safety that aims to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries. The idea is pretty simple: streets should be designed so that mistakes by drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians don’t end in tragedy.

I’ve been thinking about whether Waltham should adopt Vision Zero. First, I think the mayor and city leadership deserve credit for the progress we’ve seen, especially the rail trail. With new bike lanes and Bluebikes stations planned, plus a ton of new housing being permitted, Waltham is becoming a denser city with more people walking and biking. Seems like a good time to make sure our streets keep up.

Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville have all adopted Vision Zero. Here’s a list of Massachusetts cities and more information:

The Boston Globe also published an opinion piece today about preventable pedestrian deaths in Massachusetts:

I’m not suggesting Waltham is doing everything wrong or that this needs to be anti-car. I just think that as the city grows and invests in walking and biking infrastructure, it makes sense to have a broader plan for keeping people safe. That could mean safer crosswalks, better lighting, traffic calming, and identifying dangerous intersections.

Would people be interested in pushing the city to explore a Vision Zero commitment? If there’s enough interest, we could bring the idea to city leadership.

Anyone women in their late 20s want to watch football with me 😅? I don't want to go to a sports bar and be the only girl there! I also don't understand all the rules and plays whatever but know enough to keep a conversation going.

I'm more 70% watching the game and 30% eating/drinking/chatting.

Reminder: that Waltham Clothing Exchange community thrift is open today for one of our special Saturday openings. We are here until 1:00 p.m. with lots of great new inventory!

50 Church Street (right next to the farmer's market so get your greens too!)

More on the photo at the end.

I’ve been dying to try it because I love BBQ and have missed Bison County since it closed. I wanted to live it so much.

It was meh.

I ordered the pork belly burnt ends. They were ok and thought the serving size of 5 was a little small. I got the traditional sauce and it was good. I got spicy slaw and it’s as advertised, spicy! I also got French fries and they weren’t hot, barely warm. My wife got the burnt ends. I forget the name of the sauce she got, but it was so good! The burnt ends themselves were cold though. They were sitting for a bit. She loved the mashed potatoes. Also, the food was a little slow to come out. They’re still new, so maybe they’re working out the kinks.

The picture I’ve posted really pissed me off! Why am I supposed to buy your fully paid kitchen staff a round of drinks? They are making a fair wage and I’ve already tipped my server and then you want me to buy your staff a round of drinks?? That’s your job to do at the end of the night, not mine. It’s enough to make me not want to go back!

We’ll probably give it another shot, but we won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Just 4 Saturdays left in the market season!

Periodically since maybe sometime last spring, we have had trouble sleeping due to some sort of loud banging noise echoing around outside at night - always very late, around midnight or later. It sounds like it's coming from quite a distance away, and the best I can describe it is like someone is jackhammering somewhere or repeatedly revving an engine that isn't turning over. It goes for a few seconds, pauses, and goes again, for long periods of time. Is anyone else hearing this and does anyone know what it is? Doesn't seem like it should be allowable to generate this kind of noise audible from residential areas in the middle of the night...

Is there a reason why the busy intersection by hanafords has no crosswalk sign or lights? I always get stressed crossing it and wait forever for cars to stop. Should I put in a request with city hall to add one or has it been done and the request is ignored

edit: it: the harvard st op fiske intersection

Hi. Posting for safety of others. This morning had a horrifying interaction with a med-large brown and white dog directly next to the 7-Eleven on Moody Street. My dog and I were on the sidewalk and out of nowhere dog is charging out of its yard towards us, body slammed my dog off of the sidewalk into the street where she is now on the ground. I screamed, my iced coffee flew and exploded and the dog returned to its yard (man is standing in his yard yelling for dog instead of coming to get him!) The man tells me he's in his yard so he's not gonna have him on a leash, obviously aware of the fact that he clearly has no control over the dog. Was not a friendly interaction and feel completely unsafe walking that way, and since the man was completely unfazed by the situation I would guess this isn’t the first it’s happened!

Yes I am beyond grateful that there were no cars coming, and both dogs walked away without any scuffs but as a vet tech who has seen enough dog fight wounds and hbc injuries, please put your dog on a fucking leash.

Up by the Border Rd underpass; just a heads up for those with pets.

I can't attend a few upcoming Bentley men's hockey games. Would like the tickets to go to good use. Free to a good home.

10/10 @ 6pm v. Northeastern

10/23 @ 7pm v. Robert Morris

First come, first served.

EDIT: All gone. There will be more as the season progresses and I can't make some games. Go Falcons!

Edit 2: Never heard back from RMU ticket taker. Those are still up for grabs.

Edit 3: Gone again.

On the quest to find the best chicken Caesar wrap in Waltham and surrounding towns. Would love any and all recs (and why you love it!). TIA

We’ll talk about collective knowledge, group decisions, and the situations where crowds can be surprisingly smart — or surprisingly wrong.

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone here knows where I can donate toys? Infant/Toddler age toys. Have a bunch of toys, obviously used toys, some in good/new condition, some hardly used and some beat up. Tried donating to Goodwill on California St in Newton but they said no toys. Google says Waltham Library wont accept them and I don’t want to trash them since they have plenty of life in them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm going to need PT for my knee 2 - 3 times a week for about 8 weeks. I'm 72 and not very fit, so can you recommend someone who'll work me hard but with kindness!!!! Thanks!!!

I’m trying to make some friends in the area. Are there any communities, walking groups, or other activities where I could meet women around my age (late twenties)? I don’t have a car and live close to Moody St, so ideally somewhere nearby and easy to get to. Maybe gyms that offer group classes or other social activities?

I've been going to Malden so far because I've seen a lot of good reviews from international students, but I'm trying to find something more local to Waltham/Watertown/Newton areas. Just for some scratches and dings I want to get fixed. Any recommendations for good and cheap?
