A thing I find incredibly weird is Massachusetts legalized cocktails to go on April 1st 2024, but almost every restaurant I ask about it says it's still illegal.

It was legal intermittently during pandemic, illegal for 4 months, and then legal again. You can buy drinks with your take out. Do it!

MBTA, you are not helping the cause when trying to help people navigate Boston.

In WHAT WORLD is taking the 4 from South Station the “Most Direct” route here?

(Tagging @universalhub.com for the chuckle)

Proposed options for travel, with “MOST DIRECT” taking the 4 bus for 24 minutes, “EARLIEST ARRIVAL” being walking for 12 minutes, and the third option being the Red Line for 8 minutes.
