Gives you some indication of the general direction of Massachusetts settlement: 15 Massachusetts towns are directional additions to other MA towns (eg Adams; North Adams). 7 are WEST, 5 are NORTH, 3 are EAST (and 2 of these, E. Bridgewater and E. brookfield also have a west and/or north counterpart), and 0 are SOUTH #boston #massachusetts #maps #newengland #usa

@lioracle Well, there's South Hadley. Also some places with South in their name (Southboro and Southampton, as opposed to Northboro and Northampton).

@lioracle Doesn't disprove your point, though: It's amazing how many places in Ohio, which is way westa Worcester, have New England roots.

@stevegis_ssg Sometimes you just have to go with the obvious (who has never once referred to the place that way?). ๐Ÿ˜€

@msokolov

This isn't Texas. It's illegal to walk around in public in Massachusetts with a gun you don't have a license for. As for the skulking, no, skulking by itself is not illegal, unless you're doing it on somebody's private property, in which case it's known as "trespassing," which is illegal.

@inliuofjoan Dunno, but so far she's only been charged in one court; she could face additional charges in at least two others.

@bhalpin Yeah. Meanwhile, though, the white pizza guy who's charged with beating and terrorizing his largely undocumented workforce does remain locked up as a potential threat to those people - granted, that's federal, not state court.

@timoj Dunno. If it had been torn down for condos, at least 25% of the parking spaces would have to be equipped with EV chargers, but that's a city thing.

On Thursday, the #MBTA released for public comment their SFY25-29 Capital Investment Plan, or CIP. (It's important to specify state fiscal years, because the Boston Region MPO, which is responsible for allocating federal transportation funds, uses the federal fiscal year, and the last three months of FFY24 are in SFY25 just to confuse everyone who's trying to cross-index programs and budgets.) The full plan is here: https://www.mbta.com/financials/the-proposed-capital-investment-plan-cip
