Nice dog,
almost looks like my King Charles Cavalier/Shiatzu mix.

TONEDDOLLARS · January 1, 2021 3:35PM

I do

Bochiman · January 1, 2021 3:50PM

Did....long time ago. Twice actually. Once was Ft Devens

Endeavor1967 · January 1, 2021 4:09PM

I’m from Ma right on the NH border.
I pay cash for paper money too!

BryceM · January 1, 2021 4:21PM

Not anymore. Lived there from 02-06.

Oney · January 1, 2021 4:26PM

I do as well.

SkyMan · January 1, 2021 4:29PM

I grew up there, and most of my extended family still lives in either there or NH.

Zoins · January 1, 2021 4:30PM

I lived there for a while. There's a lot of history in Boston and it's easy to live in a house that was built before cars were available. Makes you think about what neighborhoods were like back then.

Electricity · January 1, 2021 4:30PM

Moved to Mass for school, been up here since 2001

I have family that still lives outside of Boston a little ways.
A lot of the houses in the town they live in have the plaques saying when the house was originally built.
One relative has a house that was remodeled, noticeably, at least twice....and these were prior to 1900. House was originally late 17xx then was added on, then was remodeled and expanded...then was "modernized" a bit.

Kind of fun when I last visited, to drive around and see "House Build 17xx", "House built 18xx", etc, on so many houses.

bearcave · January 1, 2021 4:39PM

I live in middle of country. Show Me State.

coinbuf · January 1, 2021 4:44PM

Not I but my buddy went to BU and his parents still live there.

That's really neat to me. And let's not forget about lack of electricity too!

I know someone that lives in such an old house. They have a super modern kitchen but a very old attic. Going into their attic is like stepping back in time!

But cash is paper money.

Do you pay change for coins?

MrBluster · January 1, 2021 5:30PM

I did grew up in Minga Valley aka the Merrimack Valley.

divecchia · January 1, 2021 5:37PM

I do and have for over 50 years. It works well for me as I don't drive and everything I need is close by including my job which is a short 10-12 minute walk. Public transportation is close by allowing me to travel to further destinations.

Nice little town.

If you know where at least two of these pictures were taken from then you can say you live / or have lived in Massachusetts.

You mean the new guy who took over for Dick Albert? Was always a Don Kent guy, myself......... Time for a quick nap before Larry Glick comes on.

Bob13 · January 1, 2021 6:26PM

@JohnnyCache - is that the Aerosmith house on Comm Ave?

Oldhoopster · January 1, 2021 6:42PM

I lived north of Boston for 4 years but escaped in 2009. However, I still keep my membership in the Boston Numismatic Society up to date

Onastone · January 1, 2021 6:56PM

Gonna drive past the Stop'n'Shop!
With the radio on!

JohnnyCache · January 1, 2021 7:19PM

@KindaNewish pre-covid you could complete that same trip around town he took in just under 9 days so long as traffic wasn't too bad.

Never saw that before, thanks for sharing it, so many quick blips of memories

metalmeister · January 1, 2021 7:24PM

Holy @%&@$^ Almost 2 FT. of snow! Lived there once for 4 years. Moved to a warmer climate in 1962.

Nice little town.

I grew up in the next town over, East Haven, just across the Farm River from Branford. My Dad and sister still live in Branford in the Short Beach area. Lots of family in MA as well.

Born and raised in Mass, living in Maine now

I do also

Pedzola · January 1, 2021 9:07PM

Worked in MA pre-covid. Work from my home in NH now but still getting taxed by MA. So I feel like you guys owe me something.

derryb · January 1, 2021 9:12PM

I don't.

Talk to someone in your HR/Payroll department and have them change your status from office based to home based. The company I work for is based in Mass, and field employees living in NH don't pay Mass income tax.

I also remember hearing that Governor Sununu was looking into legal action to prevent Mass from collecting income tax from workers who were in your situation, not sure what became of it.

Pedzola · January 1, 2021 9:32PM

Lawsuit NH vs MA is in process I guess. Assume I will eventually get a big refund check. Taxation without representation, pretty fundamentally unconstitutional.

The large company I work for refuses to change my witholding. I'm told the state of MA is not allowing it. I don't know the mechanics. I havent set foot in MA since March but I still have to pay MA tax until this lawsuit is resolved I guess.

I live on the street that the Minute Men marched along on their way to Concord's North Bridge, April 19, 1775.

Very cool! Was your house around in 1775? Or were there houses on the street that were?

savitale · January 1, 2021 9:58PM

My house, no. But the stone wall along the street in my front yard probably was.

I've always heard it called "Taxachusetts".....

And, if your company is a MA company, even if you are working from home, if they left your "butt in the seat" official location as your old MA office/location, that is probably why....even if not a MA company, if they did that, it is probably why.

A lot of the large companies, even before covid, let people work remotely but, in my experience, if they had an official seat for you somewhere, that's where the taxing was viewed to come from. Right now, many are letting people work from home, but consider it "temporary" or, even if permanent, aren't smart enough to make the adjustments needed for the people.

johnny9434 · January 2, 2021 3:56AM

I live right on the mass line near Springfield. Grew up in this area and am glad I did

BigA · January 2, 2021 5:03AM

DoubleDime · January 2, 2021 6:22AM

Grew up in Tolland (western part on the CT. state line) now in New York. I try to get back there twice a year to see sister and other family members. The first missionary to India, Gordon Hall, was from there. Tolland is also half way between London and San Francisco.

1775 · January 2, 2021 9:02AM

Have lived where the Birth of Our Nation began. Walked many times on the ground where the first shot was fired April 19th 1775. Been here 69 years 11 months.

WHO Here lives in Massachusetts ???
