you know this person was also upset about the cracker barrel thing.

I'm from Medford and there's no Cracker Barrel around but the equivalent was when Dunkin Donuts became just Dunkin lol Medford townies really wish they could live in 1998 forever
they were probably still really upset by it even though they have never been there. its more about wanting the aesthetics of what they think rural life is while not actually having to live the shitty parts like driving 2 hours for groceries.
I do think “Dunkin” is kind of stupid. On the other hand, I don’t care what they call themselves, I just wish they wouldn’t run out of cinnamon cake donuts and then not make any more.
ah, social media syndrome has crept into normie corners too, i see
People know there are actual tragedies in this world right?
Press F to pay respects.
medford sucks ass LOL
Having half of a street have lanes, and then the rest of it not have lanes seems like an incredibly inefficient (and potentially dangerous) way to design traffic patterns.
We live in the Age of the Drama Queens (and I include guys).
man the people of massachusetts are absolutely in love with their terrible unmarked roads. they want to repaint the main street in my town which has an ambiguous number of lanes (1? 2?) and people are having a total meltdown about it
Ha the same thing happened in my MA home town. My wife (from the Midwest) would lose her shit every time we drove there, “how do you know when you’re supposed to form a second lane?” It was more a feeling than actual rules. Kids today would say vibes.
Only in the US can people be so embarrassing all the time
ffs. this is Medford. a freaking suburb! it's not Mayberry!
They can always move to the actual country for those dappled roads.
Jesus, put it in your journal. 😂
i saw a callout post for a dog on there once. named him and everything. cooper the newfoundland
nimby poetry
lines on the floor :< :< :<
White lines take my sense Of peacefulness and calm $200 a gram. I remember When it was $40 or a handjob

lol, I just wanna yell,”Get rekt, loser!” at these people.
How do road markings destroy your sense of peace and calm?? You must be seriously fucked up if this is your measure of peace and calm.
You see they want to pretend to be lords in a manor house and not be reminded other people exist because ew
Imagine separating people walking and cycling from people in their cars by some disgusting intrusive lines right through the tranquility of the tarmac!
If this is Medford, MA, I almost have to believe this is trolling. Almost. :/
I only know Medford from Fallout 4. It’s seen better days.
I haven’t been to the real Medford since the 90’s but I thought Fallout 4 freshened it up a bit
Just off of he map is Acton. I was born on the “real” one. You cannot believe how gutted I was it isn’t there.
when i lived with my mother she was obsessed with that site and would burst in freaking out about something and eventually it'd be like "there was a guy walking down the street" or "someone saw a car they didn't recognize." it ruled. there was an old guy down the street that sat in his garage...
post, post, posting away about all this stuff and so I started slowing down in front of him, doing the "pointing to my eyes and pointing to him" thing, and then driving off, and apparently he would post all these posts freaking out about it, which ruled.
That street borders a park. I’m sure it gets a lot of bike and pedestrian traffic.
visually destroyed
I love the question mark next to biking as if it’s the first time they’ve ever encountered that word
I knew a bi king once.
every bi man is a king
They’re upset about…lines painted on tarmac?!?
Well, if painted lines marking the bike lane are too ugly, I suppose we’ve just got to use a physical concrete barrier.
Ah, yes, I too hate road safety and accessibility
biking(?)
We need a deep dive study on why people in the US get so mad at bike lanes/cyclists.
These people should have journals
You should see the coyote debate on my Nextdoor. I keep getting banned for saying that they weren't here before us (PNW). And for saying that I hope the 4th of July fireworks gives several of them heart attacks. 99% sure Nextdoor is owned by Acme at this point. Buncha coyotes passed a captcha.
what a strange thing to hope
They're overpopulated and hazing works. It's Nature.
you should probably read this: coyoteyipps.com/2014/11/19/m... and in regards to what you call "overpopulation:" which of the two alternatives would you rather have? 1. thousands and thousands of rats (what happens if the coyotes are simply removed) 2. urban wolves (a return to pre-coyote norms)
I fully support the “urban wolves” proposal
I am ready for urban wolves. Give me an apocalypse I can be proud of.
Are they also freaking out about coywolves? If not, there’s a chance to seed some informative chaos!
No, they wanna save the coyotes here. They'd cheer a new species of invasive "doggo" that is becoming increasingly aggressive towards kids. Had one guy tell me coyotes don't attack kids so I have no reason to want them hazed and 6 months later, after many pet attacks, we get a local human one. Ugh.
If people would just stop acting like urban bumfuck Disney Princesses with coyotes, we'd be better off. Ah...I think I'm displaying why I got banned from Nextdoor.
lmao get rekt, coyotes rule, yuppies drool
Lort.
Ahhhhh, good ol’ animal-is-cute conservationism?
Shitlibs, too! The "brain go off when animal involved" crowd is errwhere!
I caught a ban for insisting that this one bobcat is actually named Robert
Now I'm jealous
King shit
King Robert the Cat
get this person a fainting couch
I didn't realize, prior to reading this, that it was possible for something to read as "extremely West Medford." I just didn't believe that was something that could exist. It was too specific, too esoteric and provincial. And yet, here we are.
biking(?)
Let’s not kid ourselves: if the kids playing happened on her half of the street, she’d be opposed to lines there, too.
the only other people I've known to be distressed by white lines on the road are recovering from cocaine addiction
I am once again begging weirdos online to learn what actual problems are like
OHMYGAWDTHEYGONNAPAINTMYSTREET!!!!!!
My god………..the horror
>country road >dappled what
There hasn’t been a dappled country road in Medford for, I’m gonna say, 250 years.
"biking(?)"
The end of the road next to High St, aka the end culminating in a rotary next to a gas station???
That is .01 miles away from an actual walking path along the Mystic River?
lol i was like, i wonder what this street looks like that's so special if i don't have the wrong place... that's just asphalt. there's already markings! who cares
this dapple ain't dappling, Janet
I love that they're losing their mind over marking up the road itself, as if the asphalt is what makes this a pleasant area and not the nice, tree-lined field across the way.
or it's always in response to like the city cutting down a few trees for new section 8 housing or a community garden
in their heads they're freedom fighters
I'm sorry, are they having a tantrum about... road markings... the kind that keep people safe...?
There's a scheme where for every million Ireland spent building a motorway, a percentage of that had to go to public art decorating the motorway. Some art had to be moved for being so engaging it caused accidents, so artists tried to create things you could enjoy out of the corner of your eye.
yes. it's a part of a larger argument where people are so so so so mad at the cities putting in bike lanes
I used to work for a family in Somerville that hated bus lanes with a passion because it personally inconvenienced them
but if they put in bike lanes, how will i drunkenly drive my giant pickup down the street without mowing down 20 people cait
🫠 why are people 🫠
Whaaaat. First world problems to the Nth degree.
“dappled country road” Get out of here. Go on. Git.
Sounds like a Real Estate fluffjob.
Someone on here described Nextdoor as Facebook for dogs. Who's that outside my house? What's going on over there?
I love how a bike lane ruins the picturesque charm and not the fucking car centric road
This person doesn’t have enough real life struggles.
