And the Italian place on route 9 that had a notell motel connected to it. And Ma's on route 9 that became a MacDonalds. That's all my old brain can remember.

I agree with the Drake, wish I could have experienced that place.

With that said, I'll put up the early 2000s of McMurphy's, Charlies, Barsies, Delanos, Spoke, The Harp, The Hangar and Rafters over any other timeframe and bar combo.

I saw a post earlier today that McMurphy's is looking for a site so that they can relocate in Amherst. I hope they keep it rustic, no frills.

Watching ‘The Hunting Wives’ on Netflix.

In episode 2, the character Sophie, who says she’s from Cambridge, tells folks she went to UMass.

never mind...just found this:

Transitioning to a new platform
Hustle Belt is transitioning to a new platform as part of SB Nation’s network-wide move. This change will affect the look of the site and will occur in a couple of weeks. Additionally, Hustle Belt is also expanding its presence on social media, including Instagram and Facebook, to continue its coverage of the MAC.

UMass ties "other"

Yesterday, back in Harvard 1st time since late Sept. last year, we stopped our old the P.O. to return our former Box keys.
Only one customer was there.
Neighbor friend a few houses down one of our two Rds...we had 2 road corner lot...
He is brother-in-law of former UM women's swim & dive coach, Bob Newcomb.
Also, drove past our UM hoopster's from Ayer little road in Ayer...at least I think his home St.
Enjoying the weather here a few days.
Naples is hot, humid and the near daily t-storms, probably for just another seasonal month.
