This one was significantly less insane than the last one

There is an MBTA stop a few hundred feet from the Museum of Science

Cambridge is a good choice for this! I live near central square and have a car, but I have considered selling it as I honestly hardly use it these days except for leaving the city for hiking and such. Highly recommend this neighborhood for walkability!

Notch brewery in Brighton (might be too out of the way) is great for gatherings - bus accessible and also easy to park at/near

Not vegetarian only, but Cicada near central square! Lovely place and some of the best food I've ever had in one of the most cozy atmospheres with insanely nice staff!

As hard to deal with as this winter was, I really wish we'd get at least one storm, it doesn't feel right that there's literally no snow on the ground!

Thank you! Yes I see the funky hours for goldilox, which honestly makes it more enticing! Will try to go this weekend :)

Idk man, this sounds like a really good local place that probably only has one location? That's what I'm assuming here

Oh man is that local? Do they have coffee too? Really looking for both in the same location ideally!

Oo awesome! Will check it out! We have a roommate from long Island who always brings home awesome bagels when he goes to visit family, but we are looking for somewhere to fill in the gaps!

Thank you! :)

They've definitely gotten more intense lately. I just brought my car to my place and am awaiting the registration to change over so I can get a permanent pass for street parking. In the meantime, I've been using the guest pass for our apartment. I neglected to move my car in the required 24 hours for the guest pass... Ticket. They never check for this rule, so frankly I just forgot out of complacency. Next day, move it at 9:45 or so. Go to move it the day after around 10, and got a ticket at 9:49. I know it's someone's job to do this, but.... Bruh

Cicada near central square! Wonderful wine selection, some of the best food in town (in my opinion), lovely cozy atmosphere and insanely nice staff. You really can't go wrong, such a unique place! Also lovely for coffee! Just keep in mind it's small and popular, so large groups are tough! Also make sure they're open before going!

Alright well, they were scared. That's what I meant.

I understand some people may not have pets, but it's obvious. Loud noises terrify cats and rabbits. I wasn't home when the jets went over, but my roommates were, and our cat ran out of the room and hid for hours. He was startled by sudden noise the rest of the day. It's pretty easy to see the signs.

I've had a lot of real negative comments on this and it's frustrating. I get that my original post was highly negative so it's expected, and I also understand how some enjoyed yesterdays flyover. As a second explanation, I'll say that my girlfriend and I both just really got spooked by "extremely loud and sudden noise in public." sudden things like that trigger my anxiety, especially with how many domestic terrorism incidents are in the news. For someone without anxiety, I get that this is hard to understand, falling was also traumatic as I am coming off of a serious injury. I'm no stranger to aircraft noise, I worked at a regional airport for years, and I lived in Burlington Vermont for 6 years which is home to the extremely controversial (for noise reasons) green mountain boys. I didn't mean to piss anyone off, just consider that some people might react to things differently perhaps.

I get that it's cool to see the aircraft, I'd generally agree, this time just seemed more intense and sudden. I appreciate that your comment is a different point of view and still a mature response.

That's what we thought too. A lot of people are saying it's unrealistic to assume an explosion or attack. To those saying that, anxiety doesnt think rationally.

That's kinda what spooked us. Just "loud noise in public" kinda triggered us to assume we were about to be in a domestic terrorism incident or something. Once we realized what was going on we were just annoyed.

Around Boston area. All the flyovers for Gillette went straight over the house I grew up in. I also lived in a town with an active air wing that would practice every day, and worked at an airport for several years. This was different, at least in my experience.

I don't know man. It was loud and sudden and it scared us. I've lived in the area my whole life and worked around planes, it's not usually that loud. When my brain hears "sudden extremely loud ass noise" it doesn't rationalize what it is it just thinks maybe some kind of explosion, especially with all recent news.

I appreciate jets and all, I come from a background in the aviation/aerospace industry. I know it was planned and on record, but I just don't understand why it needed to be so low and fast. It seemed a bit much from someone who has seen many other flyovers. I don't need to have "psychic powers" to come home minutes later and find my cat shaking, or poll my neighborhood as many others out and about were visibly upset and confused. This just shouldn't be something that's done this way.

I come from a background of aviation and I do think jets are interesting and all, I am more just saying this seemed crazier than what I've seen in other flyovers, and I'm unsure why they approved it to be so low and fast (and therefore loud). I'm sure it was on record and I've now seen it reported in many articles, but I didn't see that beforehand and it was unexpected. I don't have to have "psychic powers" to come home and find my cat terrified and jumpy, and I don't have to poll my whole neighborhood to see many other startled people on the street with me didn't exactly appreciate it.

They're very dangerous, and in general not a great idea. I've seen many, and this one was next level on loudness.
