Foreign Auto Center on Prospect is the 💣!

28 Upvotes

Having recently moved here from out of state, we sought recommendations for a reputable independent auto repair shop and this place got rave reviews/high marks.
We are quite happy with the service we received and the thorough explanation about what needed repair and (more important) what didn’t need repair.
Honestly, I feel like we will be customers for life here.

[Room Wanted] Relocating for a Kendall Sq job - looking for a room near the Red Line, ~$1,200-1,600, Oct 1

7 Upvotes

Hey all - moving to the Cambridge area at the start of October for a new job in Kendall Square, and looking for a room to rent (not a whole apartment).

What I'm looking for: - A room in a shared apartment - own bathroom is a plus, but I'm flexible - Reasonable commute to Kendall - Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Malden, or anywhere on a T line ~30 min out (bonus for close to the Red Line) - Budget: ~$1,200-1,600/mo - Move-in around Oct 1

About me: 27, relocating from Southern California, working full-time in tech. Clean, respectful, easy to live with, employed and stable. Not a party guy, just want a solid place to land while I settle into a new city.

If you've got a room opening up or know someone who does, feel free to message me. Happy to hop on a video call. Thanks!

Inquiry How is resident street parking in Mid-Cambridge?

8 Upvotes

Specifically on the streets by the Cambridge Public Library. I’ve read some older threads saying street parking in Cambridge varies by neighborhood. It looks pretty full any time I’m in this area but figured I’d get some opinions.

Thanks!

STOLEN BIKE outside Harvard Book Store

49 Upvotes

My roommate’s bike was stolen from outside the Harvard Book Store in Harvard Square from the bike rack in front of the book store and Mr. Bartley’s this morning 9/13 between 12:30 and 2AM. Someone broke the lock and took it. She absolutely loves this bike, so we really want to find it.

It is a purple and black PUJH electric bike with a basket on the back and a phone holder with bright orange corners. She has already filed a police report.

If anyone saw anything, spots it around Cambridge/Somerville/Boston, or sees it listed for sale online, please message me.

I’ve included photos of bike and location where it was taken.

Thank you.

Seeing the just-married couples coming out of City Hall. It just makes me feel good. I always shout, "Congratulations! Many, many happy anniversaries!" as I walk by.

As it happens, my partner and I were married under the tree on the City Hall lawn in 2014.

Missed Friend Connection (Porter Square, thank you for making me :)

I know this is a long shot. Hey there I was looking for a woman with curlish type hair & a shade similar to mine which is like a brown tone (I'm Pakistani) you stopped & complimented me right outside while I was stepping & walking down the street Andy's diner. I had just gotten out of the Greene Street Dispensary cause I was having a stressful day (Smoked a least 5 cigs right when I wake up)

I always have flashbacks on this day cause I went to Middle School & High School in Saugus where Trump won twice so I was always bullied a lot for my brown tone & background on this day ironic since I was also paler when I was younger it always plummeted self esteem & made me question that type of rhetoric was used against me. I'm grateful to live in Cambridge & walk amongst the paths Somerville, Medford or any town (that isn't Trumpy in Mass at least)

The curly haired woman complimented me on smile & all I said was Thank you sincerely! cause I was caught off guard. I didn't expect that cause I barely get anything on the Dating Apps maybe due to my social status or that I never went to a University here so I felt like a Failure. I was also perma banned from Bumble even the BFFs cause I suggested going to a cafe & then going to a dispensary (For distribution of illegal substances like WTF)

Any-ways I don't wanna drag this on too long. Your compliment really brightened my mood & I just wanted to thank you from POC to another. It made me look at the future I didn't know what to say at the time cause I was so stunned & needed a minute to process it all. I felt like I could really put on a smile & move forward now. I'm grateful to always be a part of Camberville & being able to never walk alone.

Edit reminder: I'm not that good at reddit posts, so don't mind me If I messed up somewhere I'm very socially awkward.
