Brutal morning commute with MBTA red line: delay of 25 mins due to medical emergency at Park St and then a disabled train at Broadway when my train is at Andrew 🙄

Anyone has experience working with an architect? I’m looking to start a renovation but I have no idea what’s the process. And a builder I talked to told me to get an architect to draw up a plan first. He also said he could refer one to me and it’ll likely cost $12k - $15k for the plan.
Is this a reasonable price? It’s a 1500sqft old colonial two story house.
My south end condo officially sold today. Got the money. But already missing south end.
Now who would like to give me $5M so I can buy a whole brownstone and move back? I don’t mind a sugar daddy 😂
#Boston - Should you see a lost cosplayer or otaku struggling with our #MBTA system, trying to get to #PAXEast con at 415 Summer St, approach with a soothing voice, saying 'hello comrade geek, the Silver Line is a bus, yet not a bus.'
If they're already at South Station, let them know that they could walk over Summer Street bridge in about the same time as it would take to figure out the Silver Line. The scenery is better, too. https://east.paxsite.com/

Bostonians…… what’s the possible reason why we had almost $500 credit applied to our water bill? This is the first water bill since we bought this house and moved in.
I don’t see anything on closing statement about water bills.

The Big Dig was traumatic, and #Boston still has kind of a public works hangover, but it really was that hard. I remember during its second decade a friend in San Francisco asking, "What's up with that?!?" I explained by asking her to imagine that 101 was converted into a tunnel, running under its current route the whole way it runs through the city, avoiding other tunnels, WITHOUT CLOSING 101. She looked blank and said, "You couldn't do that."
Taking the T today to see whether the shutdown to fix tracks actually works
Especially the slow zones between south station and Andrew, which drove me nuts every time
#LowExpectation though 😅
