No points added to the score for creativity for this Everett Street spot, but the judges awarded bonus points for throwing down a chair and a bucket in a space that wasn't fully cleared, as Christopher shows us.
Not really correct. There's nothing that's being brought back. Complaining about space saving has happened for a long time here. Acting like that person is bringing something back by pointing that out is ignoring how many people complain about space savers here when topics like this are posted.
Mahty will spend his time there reliving the winters during his tenure. His purifying task will be to wander the city in a speedo and sit in every last chair, on every broken TV or bucket, and even toilet or dead plant put out to save a space.
Menino has likely completed his tour by now. Sadly, he can't connect through the internet to impart wisdom learned while sitting in that broken lawn chair in the snow.
As for "don't live in the city", well, I did for five years. Now I work in the city and I park in the city on occasion.
I navigate streets where this bullshit makes things difficult.
It always amuses me that the biggest idiots on UHub don't even get a log in - and don't even know that cities are not big isolated towns in Western MA with no connection to the world - and don't even know that UHub isn't just about Boston.
I bet you didn't vote for John Connolly in '13. Anon's point is right. Boston sets policy for Boston, except for the number of liquor licenses, which state reps from places like Medford decided we cannot handle. I mean, people from Greater Boston come to Boston to eat and drink, but we are not allowed to set policy in that.
The city. Not a city. There's no confusion about which one.
The blog is called Universal Hub because Oliver Wendell Holmes called the Boston State House "the hub of the solar system" in the Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, in 1858.
The term manifestly refers to Boston, not the region, not its suburbs.
Share your opinion about Boston affairs all you want. Everybody's got opinions. Some count more than others.
my neighbors just pull out of a space and toss something to save it. No effort put in to even shovel it. with that frame of mind, why can't i just toss a cone in front of my apartment in July to save it? I've done nothing to "earn" it then too, right?

And we're off to the races...
Let the bitching begin about space saving. Winter is officially here!

I dunno
It feels like we haven't talked about ths since February. Back then I was pondering who would be our next President- Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders?
If purgatory really exists ...

Thank you Swirly
For that fine mental image of Walsh in a speedo. barf
Will he join Menino?
Who gave the practice the city's imprimatur in the first place? It always amuses that the most outspoken critics on UHub don't even live in the city.
Define "city"

Who did you vote for in the last election?

In some parts of the city
Some do throw cones in front of their houses 12 months a year. Thankfully they are few in number, but they are annoying all the same.
