Old Sam Whittemore, Official State Hero

The subject is 78 year old Samuel Whittemore, who took up arms in the later part of the day on April 19, 1775 after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. While skirmishing with others he was cornered by soldiers of the battalion company of the British 47th Regiment of Foot. He shot one with his musket, and two more with his pistols. He was shot in the face, clubbed in the head with a musket butt, and bayoneted a number times. Despite his grievous wounds he lived another 18 years! Accounts of this vary greatly in details, and the story gets better as told over over the last 200 years. Painting by Don Troiani

T Times – a free public transit dashboard app that includes travel time

Good evening folks, I would like to share a small, free public transit dashboard app I've been working on. It displays nearby routes and incorporates travel time into the MBTA's prediction data.

Link: https://ttimes.boston/

You can tap on a headsign to see some more details, including the closest stop to walk to, and you can tap on an individual trip to see its stops and associated predictions.

The countdown timers the displays are (vehicle travel time - your travel time), i.e. the amount of time you would wait at the stop or station if you left your current location right now.

Let me know what you think!

Safety Issue: Panhandlers on Route 2 by Alewife

Hi, is there a number we can call or a support group we can call to remove the panhandlers? That is so incredibly dangerous where they are hanging out. You can literally see people texting and driving etc.

Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins (Game 6 – Boston Home Game 3)

I’m really disappointed to say I won’t be able to make Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins (Game 6 – Boston Home Game 3) this Friday, May 1 at 7:30 PM due to unexpected family matters.

I have 4 seats together in Section 20, Row 19 (Seats 3–6) — great lower-level view and perfect for a group. These are my personal tickets, so it’s honestly tough letting them go.

I’d love for them to go to real fans who’ll enjoy the game and the atmosphere as much as I would have.

If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), feel free to message me or text +1 470 471 8528 for pricing and details. Open to reasonable offers.

Family Church

I know there was a church thread a while back, but I'd be interested to know what local churches have a good family vibe without polarizing politics.
