The Cozy Corner

[MidwestPrincess23]

I think it fits - looks very cozy to me

I agree! Sure looks like a place I want to be!

I have a no show for coaching.... Not usual for this kid. Texted Mom and still nothing

That's 500 a month for parking...!

That’s actually not out of line for Boston. I work in the city, and my monthly parking pass costs me $481

One of my favorite cozy places

First day is done! Now I’m debating my options for going to the office tomorrow… do I pay $25 for parking or get up an hour earlier (meaning about 5am)?

I’m all about getting to sleep as late as possible, so I bite the bullet for parking. Plus even though the commute FUCKING SUCKS, I can listen to audiobooks which makes the time pass faster.

Yeah, my commute would probably be double if I took the T or the commuter rail. There’s just no good way of getting to Charlestown

You’re damn right about that. I took the commuter rail for about 2 years. My commute was longer, I was crammed into fully packed train cars, and the trains broke down or had “signal problems “ constantly. I work in the Fenway area, so I would then have to jump on the green line out to Kenmore Square, then walk about a mile to the office. nope!

wow that's crazy, especially when translated to my currency, that's like 2k per month. C-ra-zy!

That said, you just reminded me of the parking fee when I was in CA, back 2 decades ago, I recall being surprised by the parking fee - I think it was $5 per hour if not mistaken... Remember this was 20 years ago!

Is that the norm??

It’s so awful - I grew up down the street from a commuter rail stop & it used to be good! My father took it for probably 30-40 years and rarely had a problem.

Were you coaching this kid to run for 7 days too?

Sorry, don’t mean to laugh, but yes! In urban areas, it’s definitely the norm. When there are events on, like a baseball game, it can be upwards of $50 for the night.

Yup. The garage i park in actually charges $60 for Red Sox games.

That would be more fun but sadly no

(I coach executive function skills)

Yikes! Money making nights!!

Btw, who's in the US?

Yes, I could check all your profiles but that means I'll come back to 10 pages later!

Unfortunately it is the norm. Not for all cities, but for large cities, it definitely is.

That is the daily rate in Chicago. Special events you are looking at $75.

My son was scheduled to play a baseball game at Georgia Tech (tournament ball) four years ago. When we arrived it was raining so we dropped him off and found a parking place for twenty minutes until they canceled the game. Two weeks later we received a $30 parking ticket in the mail.

Whelp...we are officially locked n loaded in position and watching to see if the contractions are getting any closer together.... entering PopPop mode any day or hour now.

Chicago is a heck of a lot bigger than Boston, so I can’t say I’m surprised. Unfortunately.

You I know, I saw your profile earlier.
Btw, do you PM?

 

[Deadbed1968]

As crappy as the commute and parking are, I still love working in the city. For most of my career I’ve worked outside of Boston, which isn’t nearly as fun.

Congratulations, praying mom and the baby make it through delivery healthy.

@Qky75 - what he said, and you too - you stay upbeat, (don't faint), and keep us posted!!!
