The violin probably also needs new strings, but the bow needs a rehair.

Johnson strings will be a good fit for a student instrument, but if you want somewhere closer, Acoustic Strings of New England is at the Armory in Somerville.

Do you mean the bendy pole? It's pining for the fjords.

It's really dependent on your neighborhood. My neighbor has been parking without a permit going on 5 years now. In all that time he's only gotten 2 tickets. He can't get a permit because it's a company-owned car.

Make your broker earn their fee. Tell them what you are looking for and make them find you places that tick all the boxes. Every triple decker I've ever rented had a gas stove and heat/hw.

They are going to be phased out though, so maybe expand your search to include induction cooktops if you are looking in luxury apartment buildings. You may find they are the best alternative.

Call a rideshare or cab.

Chewed up wiring is a fire hazard.

These are just snow showers, and it's warm for January still. That's pretty damn mild.

And the library has an elegant Tea Room.

The Trolley tours are hop-on hop-off for 2 consecutive days, if she can navigate the steps to board.

Has anyone ever splurged on one of the amazing custom creations at Oakleaf? Do they taste as good as they look?

It was only yesterday.

A compact umbrella stroller is my preference for kids over 6 months, although I always carried a moby wrap as well in case they got fussy. I have a backpack diaper bag and it was never a problem. I don't think they'll look twice at a carrier pack, even with storage.

There's 3 sets of fireworks tonight. Fireworks on the Common follow the parade (which starts at 5:50).

The other fireworks displays are at Copley Square and Boston Harbor, both at midnight. Copley also has a laser lightshow.

And then there's the Fresh Pond rotary, which is very clearly marked to encourage exiting from both the inner and outer lane onto Alewife Brook Parkway.

The Dance Complex is a venue that instructors and groups rent space from. There are many different experiences you will have there. I suggest you keep checking back to see what's being offered. It can change often.

Back Bay.

IKEA usually has a stamp on the bottom, but that one seems closer than the WS one.

It's too round and the handle is more narrow. Speaking as a person with a favorite mug, it's less about how it looks and more about how it fits your hand.

When you go to buy a replacement, bring the broken one wrapped up in something so it doesn't cut you, and hold it in your hand and compare how they rest in your hand, how the weight is distributed, but especially how the handle fits and how easy and comfortable it is to hold for a long moment.

They sound like show runners for the next Amazon adaptation: Burglarious! A True Crime Docudromedy

Maybe a kurta from Chhabra in Cambridge?

>BPD officers then arrived and arrested Joshua LeBeau, 26, Isaac Cohen, 24, and Blaze Miranda, 22, all of New Bedford, on charges of receiving stolen property over $1,200, malicious destruction of property and, of course, possession of burglarious tools, police say.

That's funny. I only discovered rhubarb pie when I moved here, and I'm originally from the West Coast.

Food is much more seasonal here. You'll see it come spring. The best pies are Petsi's.

In the past (pre-Covid and not during the biggest holiday week of the year) I was able to get one 3 days after an accident.

I have never used an electric blanket. I have gone back and forth between down duvets (Ikea), good thick quilts (Pottery Barn), and very heavy blankets (Woolrich) though.

Things that help besides a good set of blankets are a bedroom humidifier (dry air feels colder besides drying you out), plastic over the windows, and an air gap under the bed. You need the air to be able to circulate beneath the bed, so don't just put a mattress on the floor and don't store a lot of stuff under the bed. You will be warmer with that air gap providing some insulation.

Wool socks or a good pair of sheepskin slippers (even fake ones) will keep you warm while you're up and about, and a good throw on the couch is a must. The best I've found are these faux fur throws. They are super soft and luxurious and have that weight, but I wouldn't use them on the bed or you will overheat. Plus they can be hard to clean. I vacuum/steam clean mine.

West Coast, but it was also Red-ing.
