Some weird woman in there was assaulting customers there with some type of noxious chemical a few weeks ago. There has been other trouble in there.

I just moved back to boston and was in that roche bros recently. I can’t even imagine how any sane person could eat from the hot bar there. Just the thought makes me queasy.

I actually love pot roast. Hmm, I’m not phobic about food, in fact that is the first time I ever had that thought about a buffet situation. I love the city, but as an elder disabled woman, w ptsd, but who can space out, I’m trying to train myself to be vigilant on all fronts. And I get very triggered, sadly, by the street people. Not for lack of compassion. I also have memories of hanging in the area, especially park st, as an aimless, misguided teen.

I am older too…and don’t walk as well anymore. I tend to stay away from the area. I can easily be knocked over. There seem to many pretty rowdy and unpredictable people there lately. It is a shame…since I used to love the area. Now it is just a shell of what it once was. Hopefully there can be an improvement to the area. Younger people have no concept of how vibrant and busy the area once was.

I took my kids there from the burbs in the 80s to see the animatronic Christmas display windows at Filene’s and Jordan’s. Does Macy’s do that? It’s like it’s switched from the 70s, whereas DTA was nice and the combat zone 2 blocks away. Now that area is all cleaned up.

Macy’s does like three windows. It looks ok…but nothing like back when Jordan’s and Filene’s would go all out. The do have a nice tree though. Miss the Combat Zone. That was a fun area.

I'm... gonna doubt this one. This sounds just as valid as the pizza parlor or the Wayfair trafficking Tiktok trends
