❗️🇺🇸 From a Jamaica Plain, Boston, neighbor: Just got a message minutes ago from a friend saying she just witnessed ICE arresting someone in Southie. Plain-clothes, unmarked vehicle, with flashlights and handcuffs; they pulled the guy in front of her over. Reputable sources are saying ICE… 1/

Stopped by Catlabs in JP (Boston) after an airport drop off. I managed to leave with what I came for (more 510-pyro and to see the space) and only bonus item I got was a hoodie because why not.

I had to run some errands today, including a trip to Stop & Shop in Jamaica Plain. When I got there, there were a couple of people handing out these flyers from LUCE about what to do if you see ICE. The back has great info about knowing your rights. #immigration www.lucemass.org 1/2

The Running Man featuring lore-accurate Jamaica Plain 🖤

The Little Dipper, a small restaurant in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood. Breakfast served all day and it started my love for chicken and waffles. It had various models rockets hanging from the ceiling and the fake NASA travel posters on the wall www.jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/vi...

Bon Savor in Jamaica Plain. French/Brazilian cuisine. Outstanding brunch and coffee. Closed in, like, 2010.

Jamaica Plain

Doyle's Cafe in Jamaica Plain. It was a 100+ year old Irish pub with old wooden booths, a fantastic old bar, and decades of Boston Irish newspapers on the walls. My go-to was the clam chowder in a bread bowl, with grape nut custard for dessert. My husband always got the boiled dinner on Thursdays.

Yea, often cities, but sometimes not downtown. Brooklyn is the lesbian part of NYC, Somerville and JP are the lesbian parts of the Boston area, Ferndale is the lesbian suburb of Detroit - plus some less city areas like Northampton MA, Palm Springs CA, Ypsilanti MI, Asheville NC.

One other barrier, specific to the Boston area, is the lack of a good way to get between Cambridge/Somerville and Jamaica Plain! I've gotten invited to so many things in JP that sounded cool, but it takes so much time and energy to schlep out there.
