I’m homeless and living In my car with my dog and boyfriend it supposed to be low 30s tonight in New Bedford I don’t know what to do I’ve reached out to every shelter in the area more than once last night it didn’t even hit 30 and it was so cold we were all shivering we have limited blankets too does anyone know any tricks or anything we can do??

Do the fall colors look brighter this year?? I just don’t remember my yard looking this colorful the past few years

I had always seen that legal marijuana dealers decreased teenage medical problems, since the weed was safer than if they got it off the street. But like I cannot bring myself to believe that taxpayers are paying that much for the negative effects. Same with the line about business owners. It really does feel like the Yes on 8 campaign will say whatever they want to get votes (starting with “Please sign our petition to lower taxes in your community!”)

This driver just opened his window at CVS parking lot and threw bunch of trash outside. Wtf is wrong with people! The trash can was right next to the store!

My wife just noticed a $65 charge on our bank statement. Apparently it's been coming out monthly since June. It shows up on the statement as:

Massachusetts MU/MMPAY

Do any of you happen to recognize this and can offer some insight? Thanks!

I was driving from Mathuen to North shore mall and saw 11 state troopers with their lights going down to where I just came from. I can't find what's happening

If q7 gets approved is it possible to take a house on a lot and break up the lot? Are towns going to try whatever possible to prevent that. Is it immediate or only after some future date?

Considering subdividing my lot and adding another house. Not sure the mechanics of this. Anyone know?

I have sold cars to Ford dealerships (trade ins) for years. No problems. In Dec 2024 I sold a car to a Tesla dealership including the plates. Submitted all the docs to MA for rebates. In April 2026 I traded in a car to a Toyota dealership. Moved those plates onto the new car. I have been getting excise tax bills for both cars. Mass site shows them as having no active registrations. Now I got "warrant" notices - with additional fees. Anyone else have this problem?

They have only but rebranded the swatsika.

Update: the sign was removed.

Question 9 is a veto referendum on the 2024 gun law (Chapter 135): a NO vote repeals it. But here is what does not change either way — Massachusetts still requires a license to own or carry, and safety training to get one. Repeal the law and the pre-2024 rules remain, among the strictest in the country: licenses required, safety training required, sales tracked, red-flag petitions in place.

The 2024 law adds burdens on lawful owners — serialization requirements, expanded bans, a real-time registry — without creating the training standard. Training was required before this law, and it stays required whether the law is repealed or not.

Why do people think it's ok to stop in the middle of the road and completely block the right lane just because they don't want to walk extra 10 seconds. It was so bad there they put cones but now people just double park right in front of stores. It's ok when you don't block anyone, but when you have cars behind you, it's not.

Stopped for a few minutes to appreciate some beautiful autumn color!
