One Boston Journal
Добавлен 25 сен 2024
This is Greater Boston from my quirky perspective. It's a very new channel. Just getting some videos going to get my feet wet. Random interruptions are sometimes fun and revealing. Occasionally things can be right in front you but never really noticed. That said, I'll be on the lookout and share with you what I find. Usually what I find interesting are impromptu discoveries made during the normal course of business. I'm mostly around Boston itself, Somerville (my home base), Cambridge, Medford, and other nearby areas. We'll see what comes up. Thanks for dropping by. Let's have fun!
From baristas to coffee shop owners: New Leaf Espresso
After 8 years toiling in the coffee business, including a three-and-a-half-year stint at famed 1369 Coffee House in Cambridge's Inman Square where he was a trainer, Eoin recently took a bold step. He and some colleagues started New Leaf Expresso, a small but so far promising coffee bar inside Razors Barbershop and Shave Company in Somerville.
While the laboring continues, there's a big difference. The team is leveraging its past experience, working for itself, as everyone is a co-owner, and gaining valuable business knowledge.
Somerville, for its part, gets a new, innovative espresso bar.

1988 Cadillac Eldorado in perfect shape!
Просмотров 6314 дней назад
This 1988 Cadillac Eldorado was parked at Market Basket supermarket in Somerville, MA. The owner came back as I was videoing. He very nice about it. He's kept the car in really good shape! "The first Eldo hit the streets in 1967 as a flippant response to the weighty and elongated stuffiness that marked most Cadillacs," wrote Warren Brown who reviewed the car for The Washington Post in October 1...
Very tight parking makes for weird towing day at Porter Square!
Просмотров 52821 день назад
This was Sunday December 15, 2024 at the Porter Square Shopping Center. One person got lucky just at the nick of time. He was in Cafe Zing and was alerted that he was being towed. But the other person got towed. If you like the video, please give it a like and share. This really helps since this is a new channel. Thanks! Music: "Crimson Fly," by Huma-Huma.

The store he works in is called Cambridge Smoke Shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, and within walking distance of Harvard University. We get ...

2023 Lamborghini Huracán STO relaxes at Boston's Seaport
Просмотров 28Месяц назад
Sandwiched between two cars, I almost missed this 2023 Lamborghini Huracan STO right by Fan Pier in Boston. Its shape is incredible. Love the color as well. It demands respect. "A super-sports car created with a singular purpose, the Huracán STO delivers all the feel and technology of a genuine race car in a road-legal model," states Lamborghini.com with confidence. "Lamborghini’s years-long mo...
Running into a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck & owner in Medford
Просмотров 108Месяц назад
Cool car, nice owner. There are many points brought up by Tesla regarding the 2024 Cybertruck. Here's one from its website: "Haul everything you need with 2,500 pounds payload and 11,000 pounds towing capacity-the equivalent of an average African elephant. The super-tough composite bed doesn’t need a liner and is big enough for 4'x8’ construction materials." Here's another catchy one: "Armor Gl...
Somerville Market Basket: The crazy 24 hours before Thanksgiving!
Просмотров 246Месяц назад
Market Basket is, for all practical purposes, a legendary supermarket chain of 90 stores in New England. When I moved to Massachusetts I encountered Market Basket for the first time. I know the Somerville store well since it's the only city I've lived in after arriving in the state. The store is known for having very competitive prices and a wonderful, hardworking staff. It's very popular, espe...
The Somerville house with an endless driveway!
Просмотров 648Месяц назад
Don't mind me. If there’s another house in Somerville with a longer driveway, I’d like to see it. This house is technically on Lexington Avenue which runs from Cedar Street to Willow Avenue. Lexington Avenue only has 3 side streets: Hancock Street, Lesley Avenue, and Henry Avenue. Does this house’s driveway qualify as a street in its own right? If so, what would it be called? Lexington Terrace?...
Fiat 500 in Cambridge? No kidding
Просмотров 91Месяц назад
I did a double take when I drove by this cute little car in Cambridge yesterday. It had a Fiat logo in the front. But I had to inquire about the model. It's a Fiat 500. "Since its foundation, Fiat has brought the Italian touch and the dolce vita style to people's life," states Fiat.com. "This was reflected in all its models, but one stood out more than the others, the 500. Known for its simplic...
140th Harvard-Yale Game (2024): Frenzied enthusiasm! (part 2)
Просмотров 444Месяц назад
Yesterday was the 140th football game between Harvard and Yale. The game alternates between New Haven and Boston. This year it was in Boston, the Allston neighborhood to be precise. I roamed around the Harvard stadium before the game started at noon. I wanted to get a sense of what the second oldest college football rivalry is like from an outsider's perspective. (The Princeton-Yale rivalry is ...

Artisans capture old Porter Square Books space in Cambridge!

Last month Porter Square Books moved out of the Porter Square Shopping Center, after 20 years at the location. It moved up the street to a building owned by Lesley University at 1815 Massachusetts Avenue. Cafe Zing, which partnered with the bookstore in the Porter Square location, remained. The cafe has not yet gotten a permanent new partner. However, it has a temporary one and it's a very inte...
East Cambridge at night: It's a ghost town!

The area in this video is the tip of East Cambridge that is just about to touch Boston, except the Charles River falls in between. By day, all kinds of research is being conducted in the area. CambridgeSide mall is certainly one of its crown jewels. This is how the mall describes itself on its website: "Situated on the Charles River across from downtown Boston, CambridgeSide is an award-winning...
2000 Porsche Boxster was being very quiet in Davis Square
Просмотров 11Месяц назад
I really love the shape a real beauty. There's nothing tacky or lazy about its design. I would not mind this car in red. I've seen photos of this model in red and it looks amazing with black seats. This is how Porsche.com puts it: "From model year 1997 onwards, the Porsche Boxster set new standards for performance and safety in the open-top sports car market. The roadster combined the dynamic d...

Running into a beautiful 2023 Corvette in Medford!
Considering the red line could move up to 10000 ppl/hr, mass ave could move max 2000 ppl and this parking lot could would probably serve max 500 ppl/hr (it regularly causes traffic on mass ave)... Its kind if insane there is such a large surface lot next to a red line station, and they are probably getting a bit if a free ride in real estate taxes, the tax revenue would be so much higher if the owners were incentivized with land value tax, to build basement parking and 2-3 floors of shopping and housing above
Interesting observation! How deep are the pockets of the owners?
@@OneBostonJournal its a huge lot in a prime area, so probably quite deep
The parking serving 1000/hr is very generous. It holds about 300 cars, and I'd bet a majority drive alone.
@@wombo7397 I appreciate your feedback!
@@wombo7397 good point, updated.
I really want to give this a try! You look ready for a crowd. Where is your menu?
I'll try to see whether I can get a menu the next time I swing by the restaurant and post it in the video description.
I have just posted the restaurant's 2-page menu in the video description. You can have a look.
@@OneBostonJournal Thank you!
@@OneBostonJournal And MY GOODNESS that menu! I'm hungry already! Mwen grangou anpil!
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Unfortunately, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm sorry. But thanks for the compliment!
Is that the actual limit? What if you’re going to the gym health works?
Doesn't matter why. They tow when the car has been there for 2 hrs and 1 minute. Especially on weekends.
Yes, 2 hours is the limit.
Love the video -- simple and to the point. I own a black 718 S and I agree that the shape is a-okay.
It's a nice car, don't get me wrong. But I think the shape could have been a bit more creative. Thanks for responding!

Black neighbourhood?
No. Somerville, Massachusetts is predominantly white (68.7%). Blacks are only 3.98% of the population.
