A little wandering and exploration in Savin Hill in Dorchester. Not the Stabbing Hill any more. Great view of downtown Boston (should’ve stopped to snap a pic)

North end Saint Anthony’s Feast

Very crowded, a lot of vendors providing the following food:

- pizza
- stuffed rice balls, which I didn’t know is Italian food?
- Italian sub with sausage
- cannoli
- gelato
- $10 lemonade LOL

And cigars OMG the smell I hated

But the food we got was all delicious and the vibe was great. I also had some raw cherry stone clams but I’m still not sure if it’s a right decision to eat raw seafood from street vendors 😂

Josh is doing a 10k run tomorrow in Providence so the plan is that I'd bike to PVD to meet him at the finish line. He estimates he'd finish around 10:15am, so I'd leave by 7:30am

It'd be 31 F with wind chill as low as 21 F in the morning

I'll put on my warmest layers. I got toe warmer today. Good luck to me.

Entertaining comments in tonight's virtual hearing on new protected bike lanes in Back Bay #Boston #biketooter

A screenshot of a Zoom chat reads:

Breanna Richards to Everyone: "This bike lane will greatly change the appearance of Dartmouth street and the preservation of historical back bay. Who from the Dartmouth residents voted for this? | live on Dartmouth and Marlborough and this will likely change the value of the mansions here"

A response from Micah Smith:
"Sorry about the value of your mansion"

A little bit of mixed modes today:

Grabbed a blue bike at 4:43pm and rode to the Apple store in East Cambridge from Kendall.

At 4:57pm I got the iPad mini I ordered for Josh and grabbed another blue bike riding to Park St to catch the red line train.

At 5:10pm I was waiting for the train.

Literally no other mode of transportation could be this efficient and easy around the city.

I know it’s fun to hate on the T but man have they made progress. Got off my (early!) Amtrak train and went down to the Red Line. Train to Davis showed up within 30 seconds. The Red Line moved smoothly and quickly. Get to Davis and my bus home shows up in 3 minutes. We are getting close to having a fully functional transit system again. #mbta #boston

The whole city of Boston has only one DC fast charger that’s >= 100kw and it’s almost always full - it’s pretty close to where I live though.

City of Boston should do better. Install DC fast chargers on city owned lots.

The current design proposal for a two-way bike lane on Dartmouth Street in Back Bay #Boston looks great. Shown off at a community meeting this
evening. Particularly great to see a counter-flow lane going towards the pedestrian overpass to the Esplanade.

Screenshot of the design for the Dartmouth Street Safety and Mobility Project in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.

The slide shows an drawing of two-way bike lane built on the eastern side of Dartmouth St. between Boylston Street and Commonwealth Avenue. The segment between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue is separated from road traffic by parking.

Screenshot of the design for the Dartmouth Street Safety and Mobility Project in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.

The slide shows an drawing of two-way bike lane built on the eastern side of Dartmouth St. between Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Street, and a counter-flow lane from Beacon Street to Back Street, with access to the Dartmouth Street Footbridge to the Charles River Esplanade. "Sharrows" indicate that traffic riding towards Beacon from the Esplanade would share the lane with car traffic.

The segment between Marlborough Street and Beacon Street is separated from road traffic by parking.

Thanksgiving week travel begins...... Not that excited about it though...

BOS - SEA - GEG

A black and white, low-angle photograph of the fuselage and right wing of a parked commercial airplane on an airport tarmac. The plane's windows stretch across the white body, and the engine nacelle is visible beneath the wing. In the background, there is a large, dark rectangular building with many illuminated windows, possibly a hotel or airport terminal, and a communications tower spire visible above it. The scene suggests early morning or late afternoon light.
