Made the trip to Waltham yesterday. Everyone was right it was worth the ride. The Construction Site is a great place to make a pit stop. If anyone lives in the area and has not gone over, make the time to do so. To bad I didn't check the LUGNET (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

Hey, all you Boston geeks (you know who you are)! Has everyone heard of the Geek Pride Festival this Saturday? You'll all be there, yeah? (URL) This is not an April Fool's joke. Or if it is, it's a very elaborate one and I've been taken in. :) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

Hello Boston, I was just wondering what stores you guys usually hit in this area to stock up on sets. I don't have a car and I live in the city so if you could recommend some stores that are accessible by public transportation that would be great. I (...)
