David Veloz: I'm a Los Angeles transplant. I never owned a winter coat until I moved here two and a half years ago. The winters are not that bad in Boston, though Western Mass is colder and snowier. Forget any chance of finding good Mexican food in the state. Abandon hope ye who enter here and ye shall be happy.

At the risk of posting something stupefyingly obvious: If you're among those canceling a New York Times or Washington Post subscription, I guarantee you have a great nonprofit media outlet or local paper in your area that could use some revenue. And that coverage is absolutely vital right now.

Your local NPR station is always a great place to start. Your day, your drive, your thirst for news, your jazz fix, take your pick: www.npr.org/stations/

Nah

I obviously strongly disagree. For most people outside a big city, an NPR or PBS station is their closest and most available nonprofit news source. Nice quoteskeet, BTW. (Nobody tell him about WBUR)

You need better things to do with your time

I stand by everything I’ve said. For people who don’t hate the news, their local NPR station is better than most other things they’d get on radio.

The guy is being a dick for no reason. It's kind of funny as my entire account is basically media criticism (former journalist).

“Best state in New England”…if you say Connecticut, I’m rescinding that richly deserved follow I just gave you. Haha. 😑

Massachusetts! (With love for VT, ME, and RI of course)

Be real with me, how are those winters? And how is the Mexican food? Doing research in case I need to become governor of Western Mass one day.

I can only imagine how tough the food transition was for you.

It shouldn't be this way! There are lots of hungry immigrants here! East Boston is the least bad. But most Mexican places have adopted the Chipotle assembly line style of pre-cooked/warmed up food in canisters. Nothing made to order.

We were promised a taco truck on every corner. We can still work together to realize that dream of mobile tacos for all Americans.

Yeah, you gotta go to East Boston or even Lynn. I have found good birria tacos in Middleton of all places! And Beverly has a solid taco spot. But it's slim pickings.

I'd love to find a place that makes their birria with goat. I'd drive to Middleton for that!

They do beef sadly but it's very good! tacolibreatthelot.com

Aww I'm a sucker for a family joint.

I never understand this. There are Mexicans all over this country and yet there are Mexican food deserts. Is it a ingredient resource thing? Is there just not demand for good food in these white people states?

I'm reminded of when the Senate said that Arkansas cheese dip was better than Texas queso bc ours was spicy. I wouldn't think it's ingredients nowadays. The spices and flours should be fairly shippable.

Looks intriguing. Haven't seen vampiros around here yet.
