BOSTON – Fare hikes and other actions proposed for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will be the focus of 10 public meetings set to gather input from people across Greater Boston.
The meetings will take place through Feb. 11 to give the public a chance to voice their concerns, objections or support for consideration by the transit agency's Fiscal and Management Control Board and the state Transportation Department. The control board is expected to vote on actions it may take to help close a budget gap of more than $240 million.
BOSTON – Layered in cloaks, hats and scarves, customers brave the cold inside to sip icy cocktails prepared at the Frost Ice Loft above Quincy Market behind Faneuil Hall.
Popular as a tourist destination, this unique bar serves up drinks chilled to below freezing in a room furnished and decorated entirely with hand-crafted ice and kept at a bracing 21 degrees Fahrenheit.
