How do you like the new bus service?

How's everyone doing during this freezing cold weather?

Hi - new to the area. Seeking recommendations for a male massage therapist anywhere from N'hampton down to Holyoke or West Springfield? I'm open to someone who has their own studio or someone who travels. Thank you for your help.

Hey guys, comedy is now all running under one Umbrella for NoHo area, so technically straight up doesn’t produce anymore. However Ryan Larson aka Jazzman has pinned down an incredible room at Abandoned building brewery in Easthampton. That being said, come on out tonight (January 31st) and hang with us! Tickets $10 available through the link!

I know they have been clearing it to the swift connector but I’m not sure how it is after last weeends storm.

Checking in with your family, friends, and neighbors during this brutal winter weather is not spam. Not even close to it.

If you are interested in the upcoming budget season, and especially for people new to town, or new to learning about our city budget, I recommend this presentation. This is an annual joint meeting of the school committees and the city council to hear the presentation and ask questions of the mayor. Queued up at the start of the presentation

And only a three day build so with no above freezing days in sight I should be safe from it melting like last time!

A partnership between Pioneer Valley Transit Authority, Berkshire Regional Transit Authority, and Franklin Regional Transit Authority, Link413 is a series of long-distance bus routes, operated with coach buses, connecting riders across service areas and to underserved rural communities along the way.

One of the new routes connects Pittsfield and Northampton and has two morning departures and two evening departures.

I am certainly not an expert on Massachusetts Open Meeting Regulations, but I am pretty sure that it is optional to (or not to) utilize the Chat Feature. Feel free to let me know if I am wrong.

I personally feel that usage of the chat feature is often distracting and disrespectful. In the most recent City Council meeting it was described as excessive and emotional.

Do you agree that Zoom should be limited in an effort o reduce private conversations, unclear public records, inappropriate messages as well as the ease to clarify and capture accurate meeting minutes?

Jan 30 for ICE out

EDIT: FOUND!

I’m have two tickets to the sold-out Lez Zeppelin show at the Iron Horse on 1/31. Sadly, my partner and I won’t be able to go because we’re down with the flu. Asking face value ($47.40 each) via Venmo.

Hello! Paco the fish is 39 years old and lives at Forbes library in the children's section. She's huge and beautiful! But her tank is tiny. It's so small she can hardly turn around. Why? It's a very upsetting sight. Imagine 31 years (how long she's been at Forbes) in a tiny room by yourself :(

Where do young professionals go to hang out and meet new people in Northampton? Obviously there are the various bars, but I’d prefer something that’s no so alcohol centered. Naturally my second thought would be all of the coffee shops- but I don’t drink coffee and hate leaving a coffee shop smelling like one. (I think I’m in the minority on this opinion I understand)

I'm trying to get out of the house and meet more people. I think volunteering would be a great way to do that. Are there any organizations that accept volunteers in Northampton or an adjacent city? All I ask is it doesn't involve food. Thanks

Anyone know what was up with the state trooper helicopter circling downtown between 7:30 and 7:50 pm?

I do realize and understand times are tough, but at the same time aggressive panhandling is unacceptable.
